Professional Pest Control for Bristol Families
Bristol sits on a peninsula surrounded by Narragansett Bay and Mount Hope Bay, with over half the town's total area made up of water. Between the harbor's 800-plus boat moorings, Colt State Park's waterfront gardens, and the southern terminus of the East Bay Bike Path, Bristol residents spend a lot of time outdoors. Unfortunately, so do mosquitoes and ticks. Mosquito Mike provides professional mosquito treatment, tick control, and General Pest Control services to families throughout Bristol. We operate under Rhode Island pesticide license 6863, with all technicians individually holding Core Applicator licenses. When you call Mosquito Mike, you're getting trained professionals who understand the unique pest challenges that come with peninsula living in Bristol County.

Mosquito Control
In 2025, West Nile Virus was detected right here in Bristol. That's not a statewide statistic or a distant headline. It's a local reality for families spending time at Colt State Park, walking the bike path, or relaxing in their own backyard.
Rhode Island's Department of Environmental Management traps and tests adult mosquitoes statewide every week from June through the first frost, typically mid-October. The Asian Tiger Mosquito population has been increasing in Rhode Island's more developed areas due to warming temperatures, and this species bites during the day, not just at dawn and dusk.
Our mosquito control program uses a barrier spray that reduces populations by up to 90%. We treat every 2-3 weeks throughout the season, targeting the areas where mosquitoes live and breed so you can get back to enjoying Bristol's waterfront without the bites.
Tick Control
Bristol's parks, wooded trails around Mount Hope, and residential yards with leaf litter and tall grass are prime tick territory. Ticks wait on vegetation in a behavior called "questing," latching onto people, pets, and deer as they pass by. Their populations depend heavily on the white-tailed deer that move through the area, and the poppy seed-sized nymph stage is just as capable of transmitting disease as adult ticks.
Rhode Island is home to seven different tick-borne diseases: Lyme, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Alpha-gal Syndrome, and Powassan virus. The greatest risk of being bitten runs from spring through fall, but ticks can be active any time temperatures rise above freezing.
Our tick control treatments target your property's high-risk areas to reduce tick populations and protect your family from tick bites.
Winter Tick Defense
When temperatures drop, most people stop thinking about ticks. But in Rhode Island, adult deer ticks and their nymphs are active during different parts of the year, meaning there's almost never a time when some life stage isn't looking for a host. Adults are out from October through May. Nymphs pick up from June through August.
The overlap means year-round vigilance matters. A hard frost, defined as three consecutive hours below 32°F, will kill adult mosquitoes. But ticks are tougher. They survive winter and become active again whenever it warms above freezing.
Our winter tick treatments target them during these periods so populations stay controlled heading into spring.
General Pest Control
Bugs don't stay outside on their own. Our foundation treatment stops over 30 types of crawling insects, from ants and spiders to cockroaches and earwigs, before they cross your threshold. If bugs aren't your only concern, add Rodent Prevention and Termite Monitoring to lock down your home from every angle.
