Mosquito Control From White Knight Pest Control

Step 1: Eliminate Breeding Sites

The first step in any mosquito control effort is to find and eliminate the mosquito breeding sites from your yard. Mosquitoes breed in standing water, especially if it stands for around seven days. Adult mosquitoes lay their eggs in the standing water, and their young develop in the water before emerging as adults to bite. 

Mosquito breeding sites can be destroyed by draining, dumping, or filling them.

• Dump water from buckets, flower pot dishes, tarps, and wheelbarrows. If possible, turn these items over or cover them so they can't fill with water.
• Fill holes and low areas around your yard with sand or gravel.
• Check gutters to make sure they're not clogged.

When your White Knight Pest Control technician comes out for your mosquito control service, the first thing they will do is inspect any areas conducive to mosquito breeding. If there are areas where standing water is not easily dumped, filled, or drained such as a small pond, we'll treat the water with a mosquito insecticide. Treating these breeding sites prevents mosquito larvae from growing into adults and biting you and your family members, helping to reduce mosquito threats.

Step 2: Monthly Mosquito Treatments

After eliminating breeding sites around your property, we will apply a mosquito treatment. The products we use are applied using a professional backpack blower that blows a fine mist several yards up in the air and through dense foliage, grass, shrubs, and any areas with high mosquito populations. This treatment provides residual protection and suppresses mosquito activity for up to 30 days.

It is important to note that it can be difficult to keep any flying insect population under control because these types of pests can fly from location to location at any given time. Mosquitoes tend to live and bite within 200-300 yards of their breeding sites. For this reason, we encourage a monthly mosquito service to keep the mosquito population in your yard to a minimum. This way, even if a mosquito travels from a neighboring yard, it can land on a treated area and die soon after.

We encourage customers who need mosquito control to have our strong and effective mosquito service performed on a monthly basis from April through October. This frequency will prevent mosquitoes from reproducing and minimize activity if mosquitoes are traveling from neighboring yards.
