Mosquito Control
Plan an event outside, or just try to enjoy your own back yard, and one bite is enough to ruin the afternoon.
Our mosquito program is designed around your space and how much protection you actually need — so you never pay for protection you don’t need.

We talk to you about where and when the mosquitoes are worst.

We treat — targeting adult flying mosquitoes, plus preventative applications in the breeding areas we found.
Where they breed
It Takes Surprisingly Little Standing Water
Most mosquito problems start within a few yards of the back door. The usual culprits:
- Clogged gutters
- Old tires
- Leaf piles
- Water buckets
- Flowerpot saucers
- Water features
We’ll point these out as we find them — a lot of mosquito control is just knowing where to look.

Not Just Mosquitoes
-
Carpenter bees
You’ll usually hear them before you see them — heavy buzzing around eaves, decks and railings, and perfectly round holes about the size of a dime drilled into untreated wood.
They don’t eat wood, they tunnel through it to nest. One season looks cosmetic. Several seasons in the same beam is a repair — and woodpeckers going after the larvae usually do more damage than the bees. -
Wasps & hornets
Paper wasps under the eaves, yellow jackets in a ground nest halfway down the yard, bald-faced hornets in a tree by the driveway — all common around here, and all best left alone.
Knocking down a nest yourself is how people get stung repeatedly. Yellow jackets in particular defend a ground nest aggressively, and each one can sting many times.
If anyone in your household is allergic to stings, treat a nest near the house as urgent. Call us at (423) 342-5722.
Timing
When to Start
Our mosquito season runs April through October. Starting early matters more than people expect — treating before the population builds is far easier than knocking it back in the middle of July.
Carpenter bees show up in spring as the weather warms. Wasp and hornet nests are usually at their largest and most defensive in late summer.
Questions
Common Questions
-
Will treatment get rid of every mosquito?
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise isn’t being straight with you. Mosquitoes fly in from neighbouring properties. What treatment does is knock down the population living and breeding on your property — which is the difference between a yard you can’t use and one you can.
-
Is it safe for pets and kids?
We use targeted applications, placed where mosquitoes rest rather than blanketing the yard, and we’ll tell you how long to stay off treated areas. If you keep bees or have pollinator plantings, mention it when we inspect and we’ll work around them.
-
Do I need to be home?
Generally no, as long as we can get to the yard and any gates are unlocked.
-
What can I do myself between visits?
Empty anything holding water — flowerpot saucers, buckets, tarps, kids’ toys — and keep the gutters clear. It genuinely makes a difference, and it’s the single most effective thing a homeowner can do.
-
Can I get mosquito treatment as part of a plan?
Yes — mosquito treatment is included in two of our protection plans, alongside general pest coverage. See the plans →
