No bugs. No bites. No worries.

Mosquitoes are more than a backyard nuisance — they’re a public health threat. Capable of transmitting diseases like West Nile virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and Zika, a mosquito problem left untreated puts your entire family at risk. Our comprehensive mosquito control program targets mosquitoes at every stage of their life cycle, so you can reclaim your outdoor spaces with confidence.
We know you don’t want to wait. Select Exterminating offers fast-response inspections and barrier treatment programs that begin working immediately. Our licensed technicians assess your property, identify breeding grounds, and deploy EPA-registered treatments designed to provide lasting relief — season after season.
Understanding Mosquito Infestations
Mosquitoes can breed anywhere standing water exists and are most active during dawn and dusk. Knowing the signs of an active mosquito population is the first step to taking back your yard — here are the warning signs to watch for:
Standing water around your property
Mosquitoes breed in as little as a bottle cap of standing water. Clogged gutters, birdbaths, flower pots, and low-lying yard areas are prime breeding sites that can produce hundreds of new mosquitoes per week.
Increased biting activity at dawn and dusk
If you're experiencing frequent bites during early morning or evening hours, a population is likely breeding nearby. Certain species, like the Asian Tiger Mosquito, are aggressive daytime biters and signal a serious infestation.
Our Mosquito Treatment Process
Our licensed technicians perform a comprehensive mosquito assessment and apply targeted barrier treatments that disrupt the mosquito life cycle — keeping your yard protected all season long.
Detailed Inspection
Our technicians perform a full property assessment, identifying active breeding sites, harborage areas in dense vegetation, and standing water sources that sustain mosquito populations.
Treatment Plan
We deploy a targeted barrier spray program using EPA-registered products applied to shrubs, grass, and landscape areas where mosquitoes rest. Larvicide treatments are applied to any standing water that cannot be eliminated.
Follow-Up
Mosquito control requires ongoing management. We schedule recurring service visits throughout the season to maintain the barrier and address any new activity or breeding conditions that develop.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a mosquito barrier treatment last?
Most barrier spray treatments remain effective for 21 to 30 days, depending on weather conditions and rainfall. We recommend recurring monthly treatments throughout mosquito season — typically April through October in the Northeast — to maintain continuous protection.
Are your mosquito treatments safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. Once the barrier treatment has dried completely (usually within 30 minutes to an hour), your yard is safe for children and pets. Our technicians use EPA-registered products and will advise you on re-entry timing specific to your treatment.
Can you treat mosquitoes if I have a pond or water feature?
Absolutely. We use larvicide products that are safe for ornamental ponds and water features while effectively preventing mosquito larvae from developing into biting adults. We will assess any water on your property and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Do I need to be home during the mosquito treatment?
You do not need to be home during the treatment itself, but we do ask that you keep children and pets indoors or away from the treatment area until it has fully dried. We will communicate the expected re-entry time when we schedule your appointment.
Will mosquito treatment affect bees and butterflies in my yard?
Our technicians are trained to apply barrier treatments to resting areas — primarily dense shrubs and grassy borders — while avoiding direct application to flowering plants where pollinators feed. We take care to minimize any impact on beneficial insects.
