Mosquitoes are a seasonal pest concern across the NY Metro area from spring through fall. NYC area mosquitoes can transmit West Nile virus, and across Long Island and Westchester, mosquito activity can significantly impact outdoor enjoyment. Breeding occurs in any standing water, including clogged gutters, birdbaths, tarps, and flower pot saucers.
Signs of Infestation
- Mosquito bites during outdoor activity
- Mosquito swarms near standing water
- Mosquitoes entering the home at dawn and dusk
Our Treatment Approach
Mosquito control uses barrier spray treatments that coat vegetation where mosquitoes rest during the day. Treatments target adult populations and can provide 3-4 weeks of protection per application. Source reduction — eliminating standing water — is critical for lasting control.
Why Hire a Professional?
Professional barrier spray treatments use products with residual activity that provide weeks of protection. Proper equipment ensures thorough coverage of vegetation where mosquitoes rest. Our technicians also identify breeding sources on your property.
