Stop Mosquitos Naturally.

Signs You Might Have a Mosquito Problem

Mosquitoes are often dismissed as mere annoyances, their incessant buzzing a soundtrack to summer evenings spent outdoors.

However, this perception can undermine the significant health risks and ecological impacts these pests carry. Far from being just a nuisance, mosquitoes are a real threat to public health, the environment, and the quality of life for communities around the world, including here in the Washington D.C. area.

The most obvious sign of a mosquito problem is their presence in large numbers, especially during dusk and dawn.

Other indicators include mosquito larvae in standing water, such as bird baths, clogged gutters, or any container holding stagnant water. Frequent mosquito bites are also a clear sign of an infestation.

The products we use for our standard mosquito control are both effective and pollinator friendly. We combine a pollinator-friendly spray to target adult mosquitoes, with eco-friendly bits to target larvae.

The spray we use is rated for basic tick protection, however, if you are in an area with heightened tick activity, we can add tick tubes and trick granules to your treatments to give extra protection. If you wish for essential-oil based products, we do offer a Botanical Mosquito Defense option.

Our technicians are extremely thorough and trained in mosquito behavior and biology. In addition to treating your property, they will dump standing water and document any issues that may be providing harborage for mosquitoes.

Residential Mosquito Treatment

At Highland Eco Pest Control, we offer a targeted and eco-friendly approach to mosquito control in residential settings.

Understanding that each home and infestation is unique, our treatment process is customized to ensure the most effective and safe solution for your family and pets.

Here’s how we tackle mosquito problems in residential homes:

Initial Inspection

Assessment: Our trained technicians conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify mosquito breeding sites and harborage areas. Common breeding grounds include standing water in bird baths, clogged gutters, and garden ponds.

Identification: We identify the specific mosquito species present and their potential risks to tailor our treatment approach effectively.

Customized Treatment Plan

Larvicide Application: To prevent future generations of mosquitoes, we apply eco-friendly larvicides to eliminate mosquito larvae in standing water sources. This approach targets mosquitoes at their source, preventing them from maturing into biting adults.

Adulticide Spraying: For immediate relief from adult mosquitoes, we utilize eco-friendly adulticides in areas where mosquitoes rest and feed. These treatments are applied to foliage, under decks, and other shaded areas while ensuring the safety of your family and pets.

Physical Controls: We recommend and implement physical control measures, such as removing standing water and installing screens on windows and doors, to prevent mosquitoes from entering the home.

Prevention and Education

Ongoing Support: Our service doesn’t stop after treatment. We provide ongoing support and advice on how to keep your home mosquito-free. This includes tips on water management, landscaping practices that deter mosquitoes, and the use of mosquito-repellent plants.

Scheduled Follow-ups: Our Program includes scheduled follow-up treatments to ensure your home remains a safe haven from mosquitoes throughout their active season.

Tailored Mosquito Management Plan

Integrated Pest Management (IPM): We employ a holistic approach, incorporating physical, biological, and chemical control methods to manage mosquito populations efficiently.

Larvicide Treatments: Targeting mosquitoes at their breeding stage, we apply eco-friendly larvicides to standing water sources on your property, reducing future populations.

Adult Mosquito Control: Utilizing environmentally safe adulticides, we treat areas where adult mosquitoes are likely to feed and rest, such as dense vegetation and shaded structures, while ensuring the safety of your customers and employees.

Exclusion Techniques: We recommend and help implement physical modifications to reduce mosquito breeding opportunities, including drainage improvements and water management practices.

Maintenance and Prevention Strategies

We schedule treatments at times that are most convenient for your business, minimizing impact on your customers and employees. Our eco-friendly, effective mosquito control solutions are designed to enhance your business environment, ensuring it remains welcoming and safe for everyone.

Mosquito Treatment Kills Ticks Too!

Ticks, much like mosquitoes, are considered related pests due to their ability to transmit diseases to humans and animals through their bites.

Both pests are vectors for pathogens that can lead to serious health conditions—mosquitoes can spread diseases such as West Nile Virus and Zika, while ticks are known for transmitting Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, among others.

Their life cycles and behavior patterns also present opportunities for integrated pest management strategies that focus on prevention, control, and environmental management.

At Highland Eco Pest Control, we use a holistic and environmentally sensitive approach to tick control, similar to our mosquito management services.

Our organic mosquito control treatment exterminates the ticks and also repels any new ticks from re-infesting your yard.

We understand the importance of protecting your family and pets from tick-borne diseases and are committed to implementing effective, sustainable solutions.

Our goal is to create safer, healthier outdoor spaces for both residential and commercial properties through expert knowledge, responsible practices, and a dedication to customer satisfaction.
