Need a mosquito exterminator?
There are a large variety of mosquito species around the United States. Mosquito season generally starts in late spring and runs through the summer, with populations tapering off in the early fall in certain areas of the country. While mosquitoes and their itchy bites are often considered a nuisance, they can also be dangerous.
- Mosquitoes can reproduce rapidly, with females laying up to 100 eggs at a time.
- Mosquitoes can need as little as a bottle cap size of water to reproduce.
- Mosquitoes breed in damp areas such as flowerpots and gardens, bird baths, puddles, and other standing water.
- Some mosquito eggs can hibernate through the winter in frozen water, hatching at the first thaw.
- Mosquitoes can carry serious disease-causing pathogens like West Nile and Zika Virus.
With mosquito control from Terminix, you get a mosquito spray service that helps protect your yard from these pests all summer long.

What is the most effective method for mosquito control?
Professional mosquito control outperforms over-the-counter sprays and natural DIY methods and is the top choice for keeping mosquito populations in check. Repellents such as DEET only temporarily deter mosquitoes, while professional mosquito treatments provide protection that lasts weeks.
At Terminix, we start with a thorough inspection, identifying mosquito breeding grounds and signs of mosquitoes to tackle both present and potential problems. We then apply a specialized chemical mosquito spray service to eliminate existing mosquitoes and prevent future infestations. Our ongoing maintenance visits ensure your outdoor spaces remain protected from mosquitoes, allowing you to enjoy outdoor activities without the nuisance.

Eliminating mosquitoes from your home and outdoor spaces involves more than just addressing the symptoms; it requires a comprehensive approach. At Terminix, we understand mosquito behavior and know where to find their breeding grounds, allowing us to interrupt their lifecycle at every stage. Our technicians employ backyard mosquito control that can last for weeks, helping ensure your home is protected.

First time using Terminix was great! The service was a thorough treatment for all regular insects such as ants, wasps, spiders, earwigs and centipedes. I opted for the additional mosquito spray applied every 21 days. While a bit expensive at $89 per spray visit, it does appear to significantly cut down the mosquito activity in my yard which makes it worth the cost as we spend evenings outside during the summer. I would recommend Terminix based on this initial service.

I seldom recommend anything to friends, family, or neighbours, however, my neighbor did ask who and what I used for pest control and who and what they were spraying for this past week. I told her Terminix for both and so far I was happy. This is my first experience with Terminix and it has only been a few months. My ant situation is under control in the house. The mosquito situation is definitely improved and with this last spraying I think it will be gone. Both technician are great! I can't talk about "Good Value" since I have only used Terminix for these issues.

FAQs about mosquito control
Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide humans and animals emit. They can also pick up on body heat and perspiration to locate their next meal. While they only live for a couple of weeks, mosquitoes breed rapidly and prefer to lay their eggs in standing water. Ponds, bird baths, puddles, drains, clogged gutters, and anywhere else water collects will attract mosquitoes.
To keep mosquito activity down all season long, we will need to treat your yard regularly during mosquito season in your area. We recommend ongoing treatments that can be helpful for areas that consistently attract mosquito populations.
During your initial mosquito treatment, we will conduct a thorough inspection around the perimeter of your home and yard. Then, we will develop a customized mosquito treatment plan based on our findings and the layout of your property. We will apply a liquid treatment on shrubs and greenery (avoiding pollinating flowers for the protection of active pollinators like bees) to help keep mosquitoes away. Our treatment eliminates mosquitoes on contact and creates a zone of protection that lasts for weeks. We then come back for regular service during mosquito season and treat your property. In the unlikely event that mosquitoes do come back in between treatments, we will come back to retreat — at no additional cost to you.1
Congratulations! We'd be honored to help protect your special day from mosquitoes. All you need to do is pass our information on to the venue director, and we can discuss the best time to provide pest control for mosquitoes at their venue.
The cost of mosquito control services can vary depending on several factors, including the size of your property and the severity of the infestation. Bundling mosquito and tick control can save you money and help protect your home from dangerous pests.
