Our Proven Mosquito Treatment
Swatting at mosquitoes detracts from any outdoor evening. To protect your outdoor time, we offer multiple mosquito control options, all of which effectively reduce the number in your yard. After inspecting your lawn, our licensed and highly skilled mosquito exterminators will determine the best plan for your situation, then employ those treatment methods in a safe and strategic manner.
Our mosquito treatments include:
- Fogging
- EPA-approved liquid sprays
- Larvicides in breeding areas
- Mosquito traps
Not only will you notice a marked decrease in mosquitoes within days of treatment, but the full results will also unfold in the following weeks as our treatments kill mosquito larvae, stopping the next generation from ever getting the chance to bite.
In2Care Mosquito Traps
Of our mosquito control methods, In2Care mosquito traps represent a low-input, efficient and effective way to tamp down on the mosquitoes around your yard. These traps look like simple buckets placed at discreet, but strategic, locations in your yard. Though they require very little effort on the part of your mosquito control specialist, the clever bioengineering that goes into these traps renders them highly effective.
Here’s how In2Care Mosquito Traps work:
- The scent of the water in the trap attracts female mosquitoes that are ready to lay eggs.
- The mosquito lands on gauze in the trap to lay her eggs in the water.
- The gauze is treated with two active ingredients: a larvicide, and a mosquito-specific insecticide.
- The mosquito transfers the larvicide to the water she has just laid her eggs in.
- As the female mosquito seeks out other places with nearby standing water to lay more eggs, she contaminates each pool of water with the larvicide.
- The larvae hatch and release a scent that attracts other mosquitoes to the trap.
- Even very small doses of larvicide can kill all mosquito larvae in a puddle of standing water.
- Wherever the female mosquito flies, the larvicide kills the larvae just before they pupate, eliminating mosquitoes in an area of around 4,300 square feet.
- The second active ingredient (a mosquito-specific fungus) slowly kills the contaminated female mosquito.
The genius of this trap’s design means that it eradicates both living mosquitoes, and their offspring, giving you long-term relief from mosquitoes. Ask your Price exterminator about the In2Care trap to learn more!

How can I help before you arrive?
- Cut your foliage and trim your shrubs - Mosquitos cannot survive in direct sunlight so they like to roam in the shade. If you rid your property of shady places then you'll significantly reduce the mosquito population and their reproductive rate.
- Keep your grass cut - Ticks love to hang out in tall grasses where they can easily latch onto a host, so keeping your grass trimmed is one of the easiest ways to lessen the infestation.
- Get rid of standing water - Mosquitos need standing water in order to lay their eggs. So if you have any empty rain buckets then empty them. Any standing water you want like a water garden should be treated to get rid of mosquito eggs. Consider a dehumidifier for your home if you have an abundance of mosquitos in your living quarters.
- Use fans - Take mosquito control into your own hands with fans. Since mosquitos are quite light they blow away easily if you have blowing fans set up around ankle height at your next get-together.
- Clean your gutters - If you want to ensure that you won't need our mosquito exterminators, then make sure to clean your gutters. If your gutters aren't draining then they'll have standing water enough for mosquitos to lay their eggs leading to an infestation.
Should the problem persist in between scheduled treatments, simply let us know and we'll re-service your home for no additional cost to you. That's our guarantee to you!
