What are Mosquitoes?
Three-Pronged Approach
Better Termite & Pest Control’s three-pronged approach to mosquito control focuses on mosquito prevention and control in the DC Metro area in three steps:
1) Site Survey. We survey your property taking note of potential mosquito breeding sites. These are areas that hold water such as bird baths, gutters, etc. Our first recommendation is to eliminate these areas of standing water. It is important to empty bird baths and other water-filled areas once a week to prevent mosquito problems. Once our survey is complete, we’ll provide a treatment plan for your backyard mosquito control program. Home mosquito control is very important to prevent diseases like West Nile Virus.
2) Mosquito Larvicide Application. We apply a larvicide to such areas as gutters, bird baths, plant drip trays, etc. to prevent the mosquito larva from developing into adults. We apply larvicide ONLY where absolutely necessary.
3) Mosquito Adulticide Application. Using a backpack mist blower, we apply a material designed to kill adult mosquitoes on foliage around your property. We pay special attention to hot spots found during the survey.
