More than Just Annoying Pests
Mosquitoes often enter homes through doors that are left partially open, holes in screens, gaps around windows, or even on your pets. Our state is home to dozens of types of mosquitoes, and several non-native species have established themselves in recent years. All are nuisances, and many cause itchy bites and welts, but some can cause bigger problems for people and animals. Mosquito-borne illness is a common reason for many homeowners to request professional pest control services to control mosquitoes.

- Zika virus
- St. Louis encephalitis

Health Risks Associated With Mosquitoes
Mosquito problems are common across South Florida—from West Palm Beach and Boca Raton to Wellington,Parkland,Palm Springs, Jupiter, Lantana, Palm Beach Gardens - and especially Port St. Lucie. Effective control usually takes a targeted program based on your property’s breeding and resting areas - not a one-size-fits-all spray. Mosquitoes breed fast in standing water (rain-filled containers, clogged gutters, birdbaths, and low spots), then rest in shaded plants, thick vegetation, and overgrown areas. Reducing breeding sites + targeted treatments helps cut mosquito activity and lowers the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do mosquitoes keep coming back after treatment?
Mosquito control services are designed to reduce mosquito populations by up to 80-90%. However, complete elimination is not possible. Mosquitoes often travel from nearby breeding sites such as neighboring yards, canals, and drainage areas. Regular treatments help keep populations under control.
How often should mosquito treatments be done in Florida?
Monthly mosquito treatments are typically recommended, though properties experiencing heavy mosquito pressure may benefit from service every three weeks or even every two weeks for better control.
What is included in a mosquito control service?
It usually includes treating areas where mosquitoes breed and rest, such as shaded plants, standing water, and mulch beds. Also, often involve insecticides, growth regulators, and larvicides to stop the mosquito life cycle.
Is mosquito control included with general pest control service?
Mosquito control is typically not included with general pest control in South Florida.
What is a mosquito misting system and how does it work?
A mosquito misting system is a permanent installation that sprays insecticide through nozzles on a timed schedule. These systems can cost several thousand dollars to install and maintain. They are best suited for larger outdoor areas.
Is fogging effective for mosquito control?
Fogging is a common method in South Florida to quickly reduce adult mosquito populations, especially in high-pressure areas. It disperses fine insecticide droplets that kill mosquitoes on contact. However, fogging should be combined with larvicides and breeding site control for long-term results.
What are mosquito bait stations and how do they work?
Mosquito bait stations attract mosquitoes with sugar-based lures mixed with insecticides or growth regulators. These stations are used in some South Florida properties as part of an integrated control program. They help reduce mosquito populations over time and work best when combined with regular treatments.
Do mosquito traps really help reduce mosquitoes?
Mosquito traps can help monitor and reduce mosquito populations in localized areas, including backyards in Palm Beach County and Port St. Lucie. They attract mosquitoes using light, heat, or CO2, and trap them inside.
What kinds of mosquito traps are used in professional mosquito control?
Top-rated mosquito control companies in South Florida often use a combination of traps to support population reduction:
In2Care® traps, which contaminate mosquitoes with larvicide and a natural fungus, allowing them to spread control agents to multiple breeding sites
InZecto traps, which use embedded insecticide and larvicide inside a water-based trap to target both larvae and adults
Catchmaster Ovi-Catch traps, which use glue boards to trap egg-laying females without chemicals.
Do mosquito traps eliminate all mosquitoes in my yard?
Can mosquito control really work in a tropical climate like Florida?
Will mosquito treatments eliminate every mosquito on the property?
What is the difference between In2Care and Inzecto traps?
Both traps target mosquitoes that lay eggs in water, but their mechanisms differ:
In2Care traps rely on mosquito behavior to spread larvicide across breeding sites, using a fungus to slowly kill the adult;
InZecto traps contain insecticide-treated surfaces and larvicide directly in the trap water, killing adults and larvae that contact or enter the trap.
How often are mosquito traps serviced?
In2Care traps are refilled and serviced every 4 weeks;
InZecto traps are designed to last up to 90 days;
Catchmaster glue traps should be checked and replaced every 30 days;
Are mosquito traps safe for kids and pets?
Most traps are EPA-approved and designed for outdoor residential use. In2Care and Inzecto traps use small, targeted doses of active ingredients that are contained within the trap and not sprayed into the air.
What’s the best mosquito treatment method for homes in Florida?
The best mosquito control in Florida combines multiple methods, such as treating shaded resting areas, using larvicides in standing water, and applying barrier sprays around the yard.
How much does a mosquito misting system cost in South Florida?
In South Florida, mosquito misting systems typically cost between $2,000 and $4,500 for installation, depending on property size. Annual maintenance, including refills and repairs, may add a few hundred dollars. These systems offer automated protection but are considered a premium option.
