Effective mosquito control solutions
Mosquito Inspection
Before our pest control company treats your property for mosquitoes for the first time, we’ll perform a thorough inspection to:
- Locate areas where mosquitoes rest
- Identify breeding sites
- Find other mosquito hotspots
Seasonal Mosquito Treatments
In order to significantly reduce the mosquito population and prevent mosquito larvae from developing, we perform mosquito treatments every three weeks starting in March and ending the last week of September. Each time we visit your property, we will:
- Complete a mosquito misting treatment that targets areas we determine are conducive to mosquito activity including fence lines, transitional areas, under decks, overgrown areas, trees, and bushes. We will not treat flowering plants or waterways.
- We’ll also treat mosquito larvae in gutters, bird baths, and other areas identified during the mosquito inspection, if necessary.
One-Time Mosquito Treatments For Special Events
In addition to our seasonal service, Getem also offers one-time mosquito treatments for outdoor events including outdoor weddings and receptions, corporate events, family reunions, and other outdoor gatherings. For best results, our team will treat the venue two to three days prior to the event targeting adult mosquitoes and disrupting the mosquito breeding cycle. With our help, you can be sure the buzz at your party or get together won’t be about mosquito bites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mosquito Control
The most common mosquito-borne illness in the U.S., West Nile virus is a virus spread by the bites of infected mosquitoes and can affect people and animals. Female mosquitos become infected with the virus when they take a blood meal from infected birds.
Symptoms of West Nile virus include fever, headache, fatigue or body aches. In rare cases, the virus may cause inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.
In order to reproduce, female mosquitoes must take a blood meal. While it does not offer females any nourishment, it does allows their eggs to mature before laying. That's why male mosquitoes do not bite and both sexes feed upon plant nectars.
According to the American Mosquito Control Association, carbon dioxide emitted by people when they breathe is the most universally recognized mosquito attractant. Body odor, perfumes, drinking beer, and even Limburger cheese are other known attractants. Of course, it's not just people that attract mosquitoes either. Standing water, dense vegetation, and other landscaping appeal to mosquitoes as well.
