At US Pest Control, we believe your outdoor living space should be relaxing — not a battleground with mosquitoes and ticks. Our Mosquito & Tick Reduction Service is a comprehensive seasonal program designed to reduce insect pressure, interrupt breeding cycles, protect your family and pets, and make your yard usable and safe from April through October.


Habitats of Mosquitoes & Ticks

Mosquitoes


Mosquitoes breed in standing or slow-moving water — even small containers, birdbaths, gutters, puddles, or low spots in lawns can become nurseries for larvae. They rest during the day in shaded vegetation such as shrubs, tree limbs, hedges, and under decks or porches. As the sun sets, they emerge to feed, especially in humid, shaded yards or wooded areas common throughout Central Virginia.

Ticks


Ticks thrive in moist, shaded areas with tall grass, leaf litter, and brushy borders. They often gather at the edge of lawns, wooded areas, and along fence lines — waiting for a pet, person, or animal to pass by. In Virginia, ticks such as the Black-Legged Tick (Deer Tick) and Lone Star Tick are most active from spring through fall, increasing the risk of tick-borne illnesses like Lyme Disease and Ehrlichiosis.

Local Insight


In Central Virginia, our warm, humid climate provides the perfect environment for mosquito and tick activity from late spring through early fall. Both pests thrive in wooded neighborhoods, near standing water, and along shaded property lines — making professional control essential for comfortable outdoor living. Our monthly program keeps your yard protected during the region’s most active pest months.


Service Timing: April through October


Our Mosquito & Tick Reduction Service runs monthly from April through October, when pest activity is at its highest.


  • April Kickoff: Early treatments stop breeding before populations explode.
  • Monthly Visits: Maintain consistent protection as temperatures and rainfall fluctuate.
  • Event Coverage: Schedule an extra treatment before outdoor gatherings.
  • Re-Service Guarantee: If you notice pest activity after two weeks from your last visit, we’ll return for a free re-service.
  • October Wrap-Up: Final treatment protects your home until cooler weather naturally reduces activity.


Our Treatment Process


  1. Yard Inspection: We inspect foliage, lawns, tree lines, and shaded areas to identify mosquito and tick harborage zones.
  2. Mosquito Mist Blower Treatment: Using professional mist blowers, we treat foliage, shrubs, trees, and lawn perimeters where mosquitoes rest and breed.
  3. Tick Habitat Application: We target tall grass, shaded edges, and leaf litter where ticks wait for hosts.
  4. Advanced Products: We use a combination of insect growth regulators (IGR) and micro-encapsulated products to extend treatment life and resist weather breakdown.
  5. Pet & Family Safety: Our products are EPA-approved and safe for kids and pets when applied by our trained professionals. We always take extra precautions to ensure treatments are applied responsibly.
  6. Seasonal Routine: Monthly treatments ensure continuous protection all season long.
