What Attracts Mosquitos?

Knowing the key things that attract mosquitos is key to prevent mosquito infestations in your yard. Here are the main things moquitos are attracted to:

Standing Water

Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water, making any standing water a potential breeding site. Bird baths, clogged gutters, nearby creeks, and puddles can become a perfect spot for mosquito larvae to thrive. Regularly empty and clean these areas to reduce mosquito activity.

Overgrown Grass and Dense Vegetation

Tall grass, bushes, and shrubs provide a cool, shady environment where mosquitoes can rest during the day. Keep your lawn trimmed and clear out excess vegetation to make your yard less appealing to mosquitoes.

Scented Flowers and Sweet-Smelling Plants

Certain flowering plants can attract mosquitoes, especially those with sweet or floral scents. While some flowers can repel mosquitoes, others like lilies or marigolds can do the opposite. Choose your garden plants wisely and opt for mosquito-repelling varieties like lavender or citronella.

Outdoor Lights and Reflected Surfaces

Mosquitoes are often attracted to light sources at night, particularly UV or fluorescent lights. Reflected surfaces like water or shiny lawn ornaments can also draw them in. Consider using yellow or warm-colored lights that are less attractive to insects.

Trash and Rotting Organic Matter

Trash cans and compost bins can emit odors that attract mosquitoes, especially if they contain food scraps or decaying organic material. Keep trash bins covered, and regularly turn your compost to reduce smells and eliminate breeding grounds.

Dark and Damp Outdoor Spaces

Mosquitoes love humid and shaded areas, especially around decks, patios, or under porches. These spots provide the perfect environment for mosquitoes to hide and breed. Ensure proper airflow and keep these areas clean and dry to minimize mosquito presence.

Mosquito FAQ

How often should mosquito treatments be applied?

For optimal results, we recommend monthly treatments during mosquito season. This schedule ensures that mosquito populations remain controlled throughout the peak months.

Are mosquito control treatments safe for pets and children?

Our mosquito control treatments are safe for pets and children once they have dried. Our technicians use products approved for residential use, applying them carefully to minimize any risks.

Can I eliminate mosquitoes on my property without professional help?

While you can reduce mosquito breeding areas by removing standing water, professional treatments are typically necessary for effective control. Our team targets mosquitoes at all stages, significantly reducing their numbers for a more comfortable outdoor environment.
