Get targeted, long-lasting mosquito control treatments to reduce mosquitoes in your yard and outdoor space—so you can feel safe, comfortable, and protected at home.
Mosquitoes aren’t just annoying—they can turn a peaceful afternoon outdoors into a health hazard. Itchy bites are uncomfortable, and more importantly, mosquitoes carry diseases that can put your family, guests, and pets at serious risk.
Mosquitoes can transmit harmful viruses and parasites, like West Nile virus, Yellow Fever, and Zika virus, making the deadliest animals on earth. Children, seniors, and animals are especially vulnerable so that’s why proactive mosquito pest control is so important.
Mosquitoes Multiply Quickly
Mosquitoes lay eggs in any stagnant water they can find—clogged gutters, birdbaths, plant saucers, old tires, even something as small as a bottle cap. Female mosquitoes like to lay their eggs in standing water and can lay hundreds of eggs at a time, and those mosquito eggs quickly develop into mosquito larvae within just a few days under the right conditions.
What makes this even more challenging is how many everyday objects around your home can unintentionally become breeding sites. Trash can lids, grill covers, kids’ toys, buckets, and any outdoor items that hold water after a rainstorm are all potential mosquito nurseries.
In warm, humid weather, mosquito life cycles accelerate, allowing mosquito populations to explode seemingly overnight. That’s why even small amounts of standing water should never be overlooked—because it only takes a few days for those larvae to become biting adult mosquitoes.
Understanding and addressing these breeding areas is the first line of defense in any effective mosquito pest control strategy.
How We Control Mosquitoes
At Dan Can, our mosquito control services target all life stages of the mosquito—from eggs to adult mosquitoes—to provide long-lasting relief, not just temporary relief.
Our approach is based on integrated pest management principles, targeting all life stages of the mosquito.
Source Reduction
The first step in our process is source reduction—eliminating areas that hold water and act as breeding grounds. Habitat modification is crucial in eliminating areas that hold water and act as breeding grounds. Emptying all standing water around your home is the best way to prevent mosquitoes. This includes:
- Removing or treating containers like buckets, flower pots, and tarps
- Cleaning out clogged gutters
- Managing low spots in your lawn that collect water
- Advising neighbors on shared efforts to control mosquitoes
Mosquito Treatments
We apply targeted treatments using EPA-approved insecticides and insect growth regulators that break the life cycle of mosquitoes without harming your family or the environment. Residual insecticides can create a protective barrier around a property. We use residual sprays that provide long-lasting protection against mosquitoes. We always follow label directions to ensure safe and effective use.
We take your health and safety as seriously as our own. You’ll always find us wearing the proper PPE while using a mister. If your pest pro doesn’t care enough about their own health, can they be trusted to care for you and your family’s?
Larvae and Egg Control
Did you know that only female mosquitoes bite? They need blood to lay eggs! We treat water features, ponds, and other permanent water sources with:
- Mosquito dunks
- Mosquito fish (where appropriate)
- Biological and chemical larvicides
Our larvicidal treatments are designed to target mosquito larvae in water features and ponds. These tools help prevent mosquito eggs from developing into biting adults.
Adult Mosquito Control
We target areas where adult mosquitoes rest during the day, like under decks, in shade, and near dense plants. Fogging is one of the methods we use to target adult mosquitoes in resting areas. Treatments focus on foliage, under leaves, and near entry points to your house. Learn More About Mosquitoes >
Mosquito Traps and Natural Helpers
We may recommend mosquito traps to reduce adult populations. Mosquito traps attract and capture mosquitoes using CO₂ and UV light. Biological control methods, such as encouraging natural predators, are also part of our strategy. We encourage natural predators like purple martins and birds that help keep mosquito numbers down.
