Mosquito Control in South Florida

The Problem in South Florida

In South Florida mosquitoes are not a season, they're a constant. Container-breeding species like the Aedes mosquitoes that drive most backyard biting need only a bottle cap of standing water to produce a new generation in about a week, bromeliads, plant saucers, gutters, tarps, boat covers and A/C drip lines are all nurseries.

Because these mosquitoes rarely travel far, effective control is intensely local. Treat the resting harborage and eliminate breeding sites on your property and the difference in your yard is immediate and dramatic.

Signs You Have a Problem

• Biting activity at dawn and dusk that makes the yard unusable
• Mosquitoes resting in shaded shrubs, under decks or along fence lines
• Standing water in bromeliads, saucers, gutters or tarps
• Larvae wiggling in birdbaths, buckets or clogged drains
• Activity spikes two to three days after heavy rain
• Bites indoors near doors, garages or screened enclosures

Every treatment uses EPA-approved products applied by licensed, insured and bonded technicians, safe for pets and family when the label and our re-entry guidance are followed.

1. 1

   Property mosquito survey

   We walk the property to find both resting harborage and every container or low spot holding water.

   Source reduction

   Breeding sites are drained, dumped or corrected, the single highest-impact step in mosquito control.

3. 3

   Barrier treatment

   A residual application to the underside of foliage, shrub lines, fences and shaded harborage where adult mosquitoes rest during the day.

4. 4

   Larviciding

   Water features that can't be drained, bromeliads, drains, catch basins, are treated with larvicide to stop development.

5. 5

   Recurring monthly service

   Treatments are timed to the breeding cycle and rainfall so control holds through the wet season.
