Why Mosquito Control Matters?
- Health Risks: Mosquitoes are vectors for dangerous diseases including Dengue, Malaria, Chikungunya, and Zika Virus. They transmit pathogens directly into the bloodstream via their bite.
- Rapid Breeding: Even a bottle cap of standing water is enough for a female to lay hundreds of eggs. These hatch into larvae within days, turning a small puddle into a massive swarm source.
- Quality of Life: Aggressive biters like the Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus) attack during the day, rendering gardens, patios, and outdoor commercial spaces unusable for families and customers.
What’s Included:
1. Inspection & Source Detection
Protecta’s licensed technicians conduct a landscape audit to identify breeding sites (stagnant water) and resting areas (dense foliage) where adults hide during the heat of the day.
2. Treatment Plan & Strategy
We design a customized vector control plan using IPM (Integrated Pest Management). Our strategy targets both the flying adults and the aquatic larvae to break the reproductive chain.
3. Safe Application of Control Methods
We apply barrier sprays to vegetation using micro-encapsulated insecticides and treat water sources with biological larvicides (Bti). This kills mosquitoes on contact and prevents larvae from maturing.
4. Prevention & Source Reduction
To stop recurrence, we perform habitat modification. We tip over standing water, treat non-drainable water bodies, and recommend landscaping changes to reduce harborages.
Treatment Methods We Use
- Cold Fogging (ULV): Ultra-Low Volume misting that disperses microscopic droplets to knock down adult mosquitoes instantly.
- Larviciding: Applying eco-friendly bacterial tablets (Bti) to water sources to kill larvae without harming fish or pets.
- Barrier Treatments: Residual sprays applied to the underside of leaves where mosquitoes rest, providing continuous mosquito control and protection for weeks.
- Thermal Fogging: Dense fog application for reaching deep into dense vegetation and drains.
- Source Reduction: Physical removal of breeding grounds like old tires, saucers, and clogged gutters.

FAQ
How do I know if I need mosquito control?
What is the best way to get rid of mosquitoes fast?
The fastest way to eliminate mosquitoes is through professional treatments. Our technicians use targeted barrier sprays that kill mosquitoes on contact and continue working for weeks. Combined with eliminating breeding sites and treating standing water, professional services provide the quickest and most effective results compared to DIY methods.
Is this treatment safe for kids and pets?
Yes! Our treatments are designed to be safe for families and pets when applied correctly. We use EPA-registered products and recommend staying off treated areas until they dry completely (typically 30 minutes to an hour). We also offer natural and organic options for families who prefer chemical-free solutions.
How often should I get mosquito control treatments?
For optimal protection, we recommend treatments every 21-30 days during peak mosquito season (spring through fall). The frequency may vary depending on your location, weather conditions, and severity of the mosquito population in your area.
How long does a mosquito treatment last?
Most professional treatments last between 21-30 days under normal weather conditions. Heavy rainfall may reduce effectiveness and require earlier retreatment. Our ongoing service plans ensure continuous protection throughout mosquito season.
Can I do this treatment myself?
While DIY methods like citronella candles, bug zappers, and store-bought sprays provide temporary relief, they rarely solve mosquito problems completely. Professional services offer more powerful treatments, expert knowledge of mosquito behavior, and comprehensive solutions that target mosquitoes at every life stage.
Do mosquito control treatments kill bees and butterflies?
What is the difference between mosquito fogging and barrier treatments?
Fogging creates a temporary cloud that kills mosquitoes on contact but provides no residual protection. Barrier treatments are applied directly to vegetation where mosquitoes rest, providing weeks of ongoing protection. Our treatment programs typically use barrier treatments for longer-lasting results.
