Mosquito Control & Yard Treatments
We combine seasonal misting with targeted treatments that stop mosquitoes at the source so that you can safely enjoy your yard without the bites.
We're here to help.
Mosquito Control Solutions
Effective mosquito control means going after them at every stage of their life cycle. We use a combination of botanical misting to knock down the biting adults and specialized mosquito pods to stop them from multiplying.
About Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes emerge when temperatures hit 70°F. In dense urban environments like New York City, they don’t need a swamp to thrive; a clogged rain gutter, a backed-up storm drain, or even an empty planter holds enough stagnant water to breed hundreds of mosquitoes.
Bites and Diseases
Species like the common house mosquito (Culex pipiens) and the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) are aggressive biters that carry West Nile virus and Zika. They are most active right at dawn and dusk.
Comprehensive Mosquito Solutions
Just spraying the adult mosquitoes only gives you temporary relief. True control requires stopping their life cycle entirely. We treat their resting sites in the foliage to eliminate the adults, and install specialized traps in standing water to keep them from multiplying.
Methods that make eco-sense
Treatment and Assessment
Every property is different. We start by assessing your space to find exactly where water is pooling and where the adults are hiding in the dense foliage. Once we understand the layout, we apply a botanical misting treatment to immediately drop the biting population, followed by recommendations on environmental changes, like clearing specific gutters or adjusting drainage, to keep them from coming back.
Eco-Friendly Misting
During the day, adult mosquitoes avoid the sun by resting on the undersides of leaves. Our technicians use backpack mist sprayers to apply eco-friendly, botanical insecticides directly into that foliage. It immediately clears out the resting adults. Because the formulation is botanical, it leaves behind a residual barrier that repels incoming mosquitoes without posing a risk to your pets or non-target insects like bees.
Mosquito Pod Installation
This is how we stop the next generation. Mosquito pods are specialized traps loaded with a natural fungus and a larvicide. Egg-laying females land in the trap, pick up those active ingredients, and fly off. When they visit their own hidden breeding sites, they contaminate the water. The fungus eliminates the adult female, and the larvicide kills the newly-hatched larvae.
Seasonal Maintenance
A mosquito’s entire life cycle takes just one week. Over time, rain and UV light will naturally break down any exterior treatment. To keep your yard protected, we schedule recurring visits from April through October. We refill the pod traps, re-apply the botanical misting, and maintain an active line of defense around your property all season long.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re dealing with severe or persistent mosquito infestations every year, the most common reasons are:
- Sources of standing water where mosquitoes can breed, such as birdbaths, clogged gutters, puddles, overflowing trash cans, and even small pockets of water in discarded containers
- Dense vegetation where mosquitoes like to hide, such as overgrown lawns, tall weeds, and thick shrubs
- Nearby mosquito breeding grounds, such as ponds, lakes, marshes, and other natural bodies of water
For the vast majority of our clients, the best way to get rid of mosquitoes comes down to eliminating standing water sources and mosquito hiding spots. Here are several steps you can take to reduce outdoor mosquito activity:
- Regularly clean out gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage of rainwater
- Remove containers, buckets, tires, or other objects that might collect water after rain
- Fill in uneven spots in the ground with dirt or gravel to prevent puddles from forming
- For birdbaths and other water features, install a small pump to keep the water from stagnating or treat the water with store-bought mosquito bits or mosquito dunks designed to kill mosquito larvae
- Keep grasses and shrubs trimmed
