Signs you need mosquito control
A few bites on a summer evening is normal. These are signs your yard is breeding mosquitoes of its own.
-
Bites in the daytime
The Asian tiger mosquito, the black-and-white striped one, bites during the day, not just at dusk. Daytime bites usually mean it's breeding close by.
-
Mosquitoes in the shade
Mosquitoes rest in shrubs, under decks and in damp, shady corners. If walking past the hedges stirs them up, they're living in your yard.
-
Water that sits
Clogged gutters, plant saucers, tarps, toys and birdbaths can each turn out a new batch of mosquitoes in about a week of warm weather.
-
A yard you've stopped using
If you skip the patio, cut the cookout short or call the kids in early, the mosquitoes are winning.
What's included in our mosquito control service
A mosquito program from Mack covers the adults biting you now and the water breeding the next batch.
-
Barrier treatment
We treat the shrubs, hedges, fence lines, under decks and other shady spots where adult mosquitoes rest during the day.
-
Standing water treatment
Water that can't be dumped, like low spots and drains, gets treated so the larvae in it never grow into biting adults.
-
Gutter treatment
Clogged gutters hold water for days after a rain, which makes them one of the most common breeding sites around a house. We treat them every visit.
-
Visits every 3-4 weeks
Treatments repeat every 3-4 weeks through mosquito season, so protection doesn't lapse as new mosquitoes hatch.
-
Breeding-site walkthrough
We point out the containers, low spots and drainage problems on your property so you can tip, toss or fix them.
-
One-time event sprays
Hosting a wedding, graduation party or cookout? We treat the yard ahead of the event so your guests aren't swatting all night.
Our mosquito-crushing team
Since 1983, Mack Pest Solutions has protected homes and businesses from mosquitoes.
How our mosquito treatment works
Adult mosquitoes spend the day resting out of the sun and wind: in dense shrubs, under decks and in damp, shady corners. Our technician walks your property to find those resting spots and treats them with a barrier treatment that keeps working after it dries, so mosquitoes that land there die instead of biting you. Most people notice a big drop within 24-48 hours.
Killing adults is only half of it. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, and in warm weather a new generation can go from egg to biting adult in about a week. So every visit includes a look at what's holding water. We treat gutters and water that can't be dumped, and show you the containers that need tipping out.
New mosquitoes hatch all season and treatments wear down over time, so we come back every 3-4 weeks from spring until the weather cools in the fall.

What to expect from mosquito service
Three steps, then we keep coming back on schedule through the season.
- Step 1
Yard inspection
We walk the property to find where mosquitoes rest and breed: shrubs and ground cover, decks, gutters, drains and anything holding water.
- Step 2
Barrier and breeding-site treatment
We treat the resting areas, gutters and standing water, and leave you a short list of anything you can tip out or fix.
- Step 3
Repeat visits every 3-4 weeks
We come back on schedule through mosquito season to re-treat and check for new breeding sites. If mosquitoes come back between visits, so do we.
How to prepare for a mosquito treatment

Tip out standing water
Buckets, plant saucers, toys, tarps and the birdbath. Empty them before we arrive.
-
Clear the yard
Move toys, pet bowls and patio cushions inside or out of the way.
-
Unlock the gates
Keep pets inside so the technician can reach the whole yard.
-
Hold off on watering
Skip watering the shrubs and beds until the treatment has dried.
-
Wait until it's dry
Keep kids and pets off treated areas until they've dried. Your technician will tell you when.

Mosquito control questions
How soon will I notice fewer mosquitoes?
Most people notice a big drop within 24-48 hours of the first treatment. Repeat visits every 3-4 weeks keep the numbers down as new mosquitoes hatch.
How often do you treat for mosquitoes?
Every 3-4 weeks through mosquito season, which usually runs from spring until the first hard frost. Regular visits keep the barrier working as new mosquitoes hatch.
When should I start mosquito treatments?
Before they get bad. Starting in spring, as the weather warms up, knocks down the first generation before it multiplies. You can start any time in the season, though, and the first treatment still makes a quick difference.
Are mosquito treatments safe for kids and pets?
Our products are EPA-registered and applied by licensed technicians according to the label. Keep kids and pets off treated areas until they've dried, and your technician will tell you when it's okay to go back.
Do you offer one-time mosquito treatments for events?
Yes. We treat the yard ahead of weddings, parties, graduations and other outdoor events. Call us as early as you can to get on the schedule.
Is mosquito control included in your pest control plans?
Yes. Our Premium and Ultimate plans include mosquito treatment, with standing water and gutter treatment, along with exterior flea and tick treatment and our everyday pest coverage.
Can you get rid of mosquitoes completely?
No service can eliminate every mosquito, because they fly in from neighboring properties. Regular treatments cut the numbers down dramatically and make your yard a much less inviting place for them.
