Home › Residential › Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes in Palm Beach County breed in small amounts of standing water and rest in shady, damp plants during the day. Our yard mosquito treatments target those resting areas around your home and we point out breeding spots, like bromeliads, gutters, plant saucers and clogged drains, so you can cut down the next generation.
South Florida’s rainy season, roughly June through October, brings the most mosquito activity, but warm winters mean they rarely disappear completely. Many backyard mosquitoes, like the Asian tiger mosquito, bite during the day and breed within a short walk of where they bite. That’s why treating your own yard and removing water makes a real difference.
How our mosquito control works
Inspect the yard
We walk the property and look for standing water and the shaded areas where adult mosquitoes rest: under decks, dense shrubs, hedges and around the pool cage and lanai.
Treat resting areas
We treat foliage and harborage areas around the yard with products applied according to the label. Treatments are scheduled to fit the season.
Point out breeding spots
We’ll show you where water is collecting so you can empty it or we can discuss options. Your written service report notes what we treated and what we saw.

Mosquito control FAQ
How often should my yard be treated for mosquitoes?
During the rainy season, regular treatments work best because new mosquitoes hatch after every heavy rain. We’ll recommend a schedule based on your yard and how you use it.
Can you treat for an outdoor party or event?
Call us at least a few days ahead. Appointments are scheduled the day before, Monday to Friday.
Do mosquito treatments affect my pets or pollinators?
We use products reviewed before use and apply them according to the label, avoiding flowering plants where we can. Your technician will explain any precautions, like keeping pets inside until the treatment has dried.
Does the county spray for mosquitoes?
Palm Beach County runs its own mosquito control program for public areas. It doesn’t replace treating the resting and breeding areas in your own yard.
