Proven Five-Step Mosquito Elimination Process

Our Mosquito-X program uses five steps to successfully reduce mosquitos on your property. This plan offers seasonal mosquito reduction and discounts on all additional services to continue to remove pests. Mosquito-X is often paired with our other pest control plans, so your property is protected against other pests all year with preventive techniques.

Five steps for fewer mosquitos:

• A customized plan: We tailor our strategies to your property and local weather conditions to provide preventative measures to reduce mosquitos before they arrive. Don’t wait to be bothered by mosquitos before you call our team for quality mosquito control in Lake Gaston.
• Targeted application: Aimed application increases the effectiveness of our treatment and prevents pesticides from affecting unnecessary areas of your property for a more eco-friendly and safe application.
• Adulticide treatment: This step manages the adult mosquitos that are planning to breed at your home. Adulticides are applied near dense bushes, trees, under decks, and other shady areas where mosquitos can rest. Stopping adult mosquitos can help prevent breeding.
• Insect growth regulators: Insecticides mimic hormones in young insects to disrupt growth and reproduction. Insect growth regulators prevent eggs from hatching, stop larva development, and can sterilize adult mosquitos, so their population continues to reduce.
• Source reduction: This last step eliminates conditions attractive to mosquitoes, such as standing or stagnant water where they can breed. As little as ½ inch of water is enough for mosquitoes to deposit eggs. Don’t leave unchanged water in birdbaths, pet water bowls, gutters, buckets, or wheelbarrows. Fill in or drain ditches or swampy areas that create puddles, and clean gutters regularly to promote drainage. Keep shrubs and grass trimmed to reduce shady areas where mosquitoes live.

Complement Your Mosquito Control with Natural Repellents

Do-it-yourself mosquito reduction techniques can be helpful, but they do not provide the same long-term solutions as Commonwealth Exterminator’s Mosquito-X program. These natural repellents work best as a supplement to our trusted techniques.

• Oscillating fans: Mosquitoes don’t fly well against the wind. An outdoor fan can scatter mosquitoes and make it difficult for them to reach your porch or patio.
• Mosquito netting: Netting for your windows and doors can help you enjoy the fresh air while staying bite-free. This also closes gaps where mosquitos usually enter your home.
• Essential oils: Smells like lavender, lemon, peppermint, and eucalyptus are thought to reduce mosquitos. Mix a few drops of your preferred smell with some water to spray around your home to repel these pests.
• Eliminate standing water: Stagnant water creates a breeding ground for your unwanted visitors. Frequently change the water in birdbaths, pet bowls, and kiddie pools. Clean your gutters annually and drain or fill ditches or swampy areas prone to puddles to reduce breeding.
