Mosquitoes Taking Over Your Yard? Here’s How We Fight Back with Our Mosquito Control Process
Mosquitoes aren't only pesky — they're deadly. Responsible for spreading diseases like West Nile Virus and Zika, these biting insects can turn outdoor activities into misery and danger. At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we offer a complete mosquito control program that protects your family and home. Here's an overview of our effective, step-by-step mosquito exclusion process:
We begin with a thorough inspection of your yard. Our experts assess the property to see where the mosquitoes will breed or hide most likely. This would include areas of standing water, shaded spots, dense vegetation, clogged gutters, and drainage areas. This assessment is necessary to assess your property's specific mosquito risk.
Once we inspect, we focus on finding the breeding areas of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes breed in standing water, so we check birdbaths, flowerpots, rain barrels, and even tiny puddles that tend to be overlooked. With these areas in mind, we can create a specific treatment plan that targets the source of the problem.
Having identified hotspots, we apply targeted mosquito treatment in the form of a combination of fogging, sprays, or larvicides, depending on where your yard requires it most. Our treatments reach deep into the foliage and hiding places where daytime-hiding adult mosquitoes live. We treat not just the open areas, but also the hidden areas to give you the maximum level of effectiveness.
While we significantly lower the mosquito population with our treatments, we also do everything we can to prevent them from returning. Our professionals provide easy, effective tips such as draining standing water, pruning shrubs, and placing mosquito-repelling plants. We also suggest regular seasonal treatments for long-term results.
Mosquito control must be ongoing. That's why we provide follow-up visits to monitor mosquito activity and adjust the treatment program as needed. In the event mosquitoes return between visits, we'll come back and re-treat your property to keep your yard bite-free.
Here at Bug Squashers of Maryland, we are dedicated to returning your outside space to you. Through our meticulous, targeted mosquito control, you can once more enjoy your yard — comfortably and securely.
It starts with a bite—or a dozen. You venture outdoors, stand for five minutes, and suddenly you're scratching wildly. Ring a bell? If so, there's a good bet that mosquitoes are breeding nearby. Itchy ankles, though, are just the beginning. Let's break down the warning signs that your yard is their top destination.
Let's get real here: a few mosquito bites scattered about during the summer months are no concern. But if you're swatting and scratching after being outside for any amount of time for just a few minutes, something is wrong. Mosquitoes like to congregate in shady, wet spots—particularly in the evening and early morning—so if you're getting bitten during the day as well, they are likely nesting in close proximity. No one wants to be a human buffet every time they go outside.
Birdbaths, plugged gutters, kiddie pools, flower pots, buckets, and even bottle lids—mosquitoes will lay eggs in any container of still water. If you've noticed any of those filled with water and sitting out for more than a week or two, you've probably just witnessed a mosquito breeding site. Even small ponds on tarps or patio chairs will do.
That ear-piercing whine mosquitoes make? Not fabricated. If you're hearing it on a regular basis—especially near the ears or in quiet areas of the yard—it's a pretty good indication mosquitoes are in your area. It's constant, relentless, and hard to ignore.
Mosquitoes love open windows, torn screens, and broken doors. If you're catching them buzzing in your living room or hanging out in your bathroom, that indicates they're not just outside-there's an open spot they've found. And once inside, they're not leaving of their own accord.
Mosquitoes don't discriminate against humans. If your cat or dog is more cranky than usual—especially after spending time in the yard—they might be getting bitten, too. And yes, mosquitoes can pass disease to pets, as well as humans. If your pets are finicky, it's worth taking a closer look at the yard.
If you notice more than one of these symptoms, it's time to call in the reinforcements. At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we attack mosquito problems head-on—so you can put the scratching to an end and get back to enjoying your outdoor space.
It sounds hyperbolic, but it is true—more human deaths result from mosquitoes than any other animal. Tiny though they are, they transmit life-threatening diseases like West Nile virus, Zika, dengue, and malaria. West Nile is the greatest risk in Maryland. Most of us will just get better, but in very bad cases, there are lingering effects. It begins right in your own backyard, especially when it is hot and sticky and mosquito counts explode.
Of the more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes, only the females bite humans—and it's not to satisfy a snack craving. They require blood to nourish their eggs. Males only eat nectar and do not bite. Female mosquitoes possess specialized mouth parts that enable them to bite through skin and drain blood quickly, often without anyone even realizing it until it's too late. Their bites produce allergic reactions, itching, and irritation that last for days.
One of the biggest facts: mosquitoes can breed in less than a bottle cap of water. Buckets, gutters, birdbaths, flower pots—even a toy that's been left in the yard—can hold hundreds of larvae. Getting rid of standing water and keeping your yard tidy is one of the best methods to manage mosquitoes before they acquire wings. Don't overlook out-of-sight spots like plant saucers, drainpipes, and old tarps.
Mosquitoes prefer cool, low-light hours like dawn and dusk. These are the best times to bite. Long sleeves and repellent at these times can restrict bites. Some of them are daytime biting, especially after rain or in overgrown areas with vegetation. If outdoor activities are planned, timing and precautions are necessary.
DIY repellents and candles from the store only temporarily keep them away, but fail to address breeding areas where mosquitoes are present. That's why Maryland homeowners still get swarmed even after using DIY treatments. Effective mosquito control needs a long-term solution—and that's where we step in with our seasonal mosquito management services.
Here at Bug Squashers of Maryland, we utilize safe and effective mosquito control techniques for your entire outdoor space. We target the breeding areas, adult mosquitoes, and entry points to reduce the number and keep them from coming back.
