Why is Mosquito Control Important?

The goal of mosquito control is the make outside fun again, as well as protecting you and your family from mosquito-borne illnesses like West Nile virus or Zika. Mosquito control treatments make sure your yard is itch-free and you can relax in your backyard without worrying about getting bit.

What You Can Do:

You can help avoid a mosquito problem by eliminating breeding areas on your property. You can do this by making your yard less attractive for mosquito breeding, which will reduce the chance of them ruining your outdoor fun. Here are some steps to take to eliminate mosquito breeding sites:

  • Regularly empty ponds, bird baths, fountains, plant pots, buckets or anywhere else that water may gather.
  • Clean out gutters to avoid standing water – examine them for clots and damage that could cause water to collect.
  • Keep swimming pools clean, properly circulated and filtered.
  • Repair leaky outdoor faucets.
  • Cut grass and shrubs short, as adult mosquitoes gather to rest in shady, cool areas.
  • Keep your yard weed-free and avoid overgrown vegetation.

Mosquitoes need stagnant water for eggs to hatch, but they don’t need water to survive. While eliminating water can help, an outdoor pest control service will help rid your yard of mosquitoes.
