Mosquito control for a property combines source reduction (removing standing water where mosquitoes breed), larval control and treatment of foliage and other resting areas. No single spray eliminates mosquitoes completely, but a combined approach can noticeably reduce them around your home.
With warmth, rain and canals, South Florida gives mosquitoes plenty of opportunities. We offer yard and perimeter mosquito service in Fort Lauderdale. It is a natural add-on to a recurring pest control plan in Fort Lauderdale.
Where mosquitoes breed and rest
- Breeding: any standing water, from flowerpot saucers and buckets to clogged gutters, tarps and bromeliads. Some species can breed in a bottle cap of water.
- Resting: shaded, humid spots such as dense shrubs, under decks, lanai edges and tall grass.
What you can do yourself: tip and toss
- Empty or scrub containers that hold water at least weekly.
- Keep gutters, drains and pool covers free of standing water.
- Maintain screens on doors, windows and lanais.
- Trim dense vegetation near the house.
What professionals typically offer
- Inspection to find breeding sites and resting areas.
- Barrier or perimeter treatment of foliage and other resting areas.
- Larvicide in water features or areas that cannot be drained.
- Recurring treatments timed to mosquito season or before outdoor events.
County and city mosquito programs generally focus on public areas and cannot replace work on your own property. Treatment cannot guarantee a mosquito-free yard.
