Mosquito Control

Mosquito Control

Proudly serving Preble, Darke, Montgomery, & Miami Counties

Each summer, mosquitoes are a familiar biting pest in backyards, parks and campgrounds. Mosquitoes are vectors for diseases. While widely considered nuisance pests, because they leave red, itchy bumps on the skin and ruin backyard cookouts, the greater concern should be their ability to spread West Nile virus, dengue, yellow fever, Zika virus, malaria, encephalitis, and other very dangerous pathogens.


Most female mosquitoes (those are the ones that bite!) don't travel far in their very short 2-month lifespan. In fact, a female mosquito may go no further than a couple hundred yards away. That means the mosquitoes that bite you in your backyard this summer more likely were hatched on that same property. Your goal should be to make it harder for mosquitoes to breed in your backyard. Therefore, it is always advisable to take preventive measures to protect yourself and your family against the mosquitoes this year. Call us for your Mosquito control Service!

Reducing Mosquito Populations is a multi- step process that requires mosquito control treatments from spring to fall. We will first inspect your property to identify any Mosquito breeding sites. Most species of Mosquitoes can breed in just ½ inch of water, we will locate and inform you of the areas so that they will remain free of standing water. In areas that retain standing water such as lakes, ponds, ditches, and other areas that collect water that cannot be drained, larvicides will be used. These larvicides stop the larvae stage from maturing to biting adults. We will implement Mosquito Control Treatments approved by the Ohio Department of Health during the season which is from April – October by applying both an adulticide and IGR outdoors to breeding, resting, and foraging sites on your property. Although this is clearly Mosquito reduction and not complete elimination, we can make a significant impact on your Mosquito populations.
