What Your Evenings Look Like After

You step outside and take a deep breath. No buzzing in your ears. No slapping at your arms every few seconds. Your kids play in the yard without coming inside covered in bites, and you actually look forward to those evening barbecues again.

That’s what effective mosquito control delivers. Not just fewer mosquitoes – but the freedom to use your property the way you want to use it. Your outdoor furniture stops collecting dust. Your family spends time outside instead of hiding indoors during the best weather of the year.

The constant worry about West Nile virus, Zika, and other mosquito-borne diseases fades because you’ve addressed the problem at its source. You’re not just treating the symptoms with temporary sprays that wash off in the first rain – you’re eliminating the breeding sites and treating the areas where mosquitoes actually live and reproduce.

We Know New Jersey Mosquitoes

We’ve been handling mosquito problems throughout New Jersey for years. We understand the specific species that thrive in our climate and the unique challenges that come with our humid summers and abundant water sources.

We’re not a national chain following a one-size-fits-all approach. We know that the mosquito pressure in Locust Grove is different from other areas, and we adjust our treatments accordingly. Our technicians live and work in this area – they deal with the same mosquito problems you do.

When you call us, you’re working with people who understand exactly what you’re dealing with because we’ve seen it hundreds of times before in properties just like yours.

Our Mosquito Control Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we inspect your property to identify where mosquitoes are breeding and resting. Most people focus on the flying adults, but the real problem is the standing water where they reproduce – clogged gutters, flower pot saucers, low spots in the yard that hold water after rain.

We eliminate these breeding sites wherever possible and treat the areas we can’t eliminate. Then we apply targeted treatments to the vegetation and other areas where adult mosquitoes rest during the day. We’re not just spraying randomly – we’re hitting the specific spots where mosquitoes actually spend their time.

The treatment creates a barrier that continues working between visits. Most customers see a dramatic reduction in mosquito activity within 24-48 hours, and the protection builds over time as we disrupt the breeding cycle. We typically recommend treatments every 3-4 weeks during mosquito season to maintain consistent protection.

What's Included in Every Treatment

Every mosquito control service includes a thorough property inspection, breeding site identification and elimination, targeted treatment of resting areas, and follow-up monitoring. We don’t just show up and spray – we take the time to understand your specific mosquito problem.

We use EPA-approved treatments that are effective against mosquitoes but safe around children and pets when applied correctly. Our technicians are trained to identify the difference between mosquito species and adjust treatment methods accordingly, because Asian tiger mosquitoes behave differently than common house mosquitoes.

You’ll also receive recommendations for ongoing prevention – simple changes to your landscaping and maintenance routine that make your property less attractive to mosquitoes long-term. The goal isn’t just to solve this year’s problem, but to make your property naturally less hospitable to mosquitoes going forward.

How quickly does mosquito control treatment start working?

Most customers notice a significant reduction in mosquito activity within 24-48 hours after treatment. The products we use have both immediate knockdown effects and residual protection that continues working for weeks. However, you might still see some mosquito activity for the first few days as mosquitoes from neighboring properties move through the area. The full effect builds over the first week as the treatment settles into the vegetation and other resting areas. Keep in mind that if you have a severe infestation or multiple breeding sites, it may take 2-3 treatments to achieve optimal control.
Yes, when applied by trained professionals using EPA-approved products according to label directions. We use targeted treatments that focus on areas where mosquitoes rest, not broad applications across your entire yard. The products we use break down quickly in sunlight and don’t leave harmful residues on surfaces your family uses. We recommend keeping children and pets inside during application and until the treatment dries, which usually takes about 30 minutes. After that, your yard is safe for normal family activities. We can also discuss organic treatment options if you have specific concerns about chemical sensitivity.
Most properties need treatment every 3-4 weeks during mosquito season, which typically runs from April through October in New Jersey. The exact frequency depends on your property’s mosquito pressure, weather conditions, and your tolerance level. Properties with lots of vegetation, water features, or neighboring wooded areas may need more frequent treatments. We can adjust the schedule based on what we observe during each visit. Some customers prefer monthly treatments for consistent protection, while others opt for bi-weekly service during peak summer months when mosquito activity is highest.
Our targeted approach minimizes impact on beneficial insects. We focus treatments on areas where mosquitoes rest – typically lower vegetation and shaded areas – rather than flowering plants where bees and butterflies feed. We avoid treating during peak pollinator activity hours and can work around specific plants or garden areas that are important to you. The products we use are designed to target mosquitoes and similar pests while having minimal impact on beneficial insects when applied correctly. If you have beehives or specific pollinator gardens, let us know during the initial inspection so we can adjust our treatment plan accordingly.
Remove or empty any containers that hold standing water – buckets, flower pot saucers, toys, tarps, or anything else that collects rainwater. Clear clutter from areas where you’ve noticed mosquito activity so we can access vegetation and other resting spots. If you have outdoor furniture covers or grills, pull them away from vegetation where possible. You don’t need to mow right before treatment, but extremely tall grass can interfere with application. Make sure we can access all areas of your property, including gates to fenced areas. If you have specific problem areas or concerns, mark them or mention them when we arrive so we can pay extra attention to those spots.
You don’t need to be home during treatment, but it’s helpful if you can be available for the initial service so we can discuss your specific mosquito problems and show you the areas we’re treating. For follow-up treatments, we can work around your schedule. We’ll need access to your backyard and any other areas where you’ve noticed mosquito activity. If you have pets that are normally outside, please bring them inside before we arrive. We’ll leave a service report that details what we treated and any recommendations for ongoing prevention. If you have questions after treatment, you can always call us directly.
