Mosquito Control
How much does mosquito treatment cost, and when does the season run?
Mosquito treatment runs seasonally from March through October, typically starting around $85–$100 for the initial visit plus a recurring monthly treatment — choosing mosquito service also covers ticks on the same visits at no extra fee.
Overview
Mosquito control is a recurring yard treatment, not a one-time spray — mosquitoes breed continuously through the warm months, so we treat on a monthly schedule from March through October to keep populations down through the whole season.
Signs you may have mosquitoes
- Noticeably more mosquito bites in the yard during dusk and dawn hours
- Standing water anywhere on the property — even small amounts in gutters, buckets, or planters
- Mosquitoes resting in shaded, humid areas like under decks or dense shrubs during the day
Risks if left untreated
- Mosquitoes can transmit West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne illnesses
- Heavy mosquito pressure can make yards, patios, and decks unusable during peak season
- Standing water sources on a property can allow mosquitoes to breed faster than they're being treated
Our treatment process
- 1Inspection of the yard for standing water and resting/breeding sites (shrubs, mulch beds, shaded areas)
- 2Initial treatment targeting resting and breeding areas around the property
- 3Recurring monthly treatments from March through October to keep the population suppressed through the season
- 4A credit card on file is required to keep recurring seasonal visits on schedule
Prevention tips
- Empty or remove any standing water — buckets, clogged gutters, plant saucers, kiddie pools
- Keep grass mowed and shrubs trimmed to reduce shaded resting areas
- Make sure gutters drain properly instead of holding water
- Consider a fan on patios — mosquitoes are weak fliers and avoid moving air
Frequently asked questions
Why does mosquito service require a card on file?
Because mosquito control is a recurring monthly treatment through the season, we keep a card on file so visits stay on schedule without needing a new payment call every month.
If I sign up for mosquito control, do I also need separate tick treatment?
No — choosing either mosquito or tick service covers both pests under a single initial fee and single monthly fee, since both are treated on the same seasonal yard visits.
What months does mosquito service run?
March through October, which covers the active mosquito season in our area. Service pauses over the winter months when mosquitoes aren't active.
In the Tri-State area
Mosquito pressure across Huntington, Barboursville, and Ashland typically peaks in the humid mid-summer months, especially on properties near standing water, creeks, or dense shade.
