How Mosquito Treatment Works in Ashburn
Our mosquito treatment starts with a close look at your yard. We find where mosquitoes hide: shrub lines, under decks, shaded spots near fences, and where your lawn meets the tree line. These are the places mosquitoes rest during the day.
Using a backpack mist blower, we spray a treatment that kills adult mosquitoes on contact. We also apply a growth regulator that stops larvae from turning into biting adults. For Ashburn homes near ponds and wetlands, this two-step approach makes a big difference.
We treat monthly from April through October. That's 7 visits during peak season. If mosquitoes come back between visits, just call us. Every plan includes unlimited callbacks at no extra cost.
In2Care: A No-Spray Option for Ashburn Homeowners
If you prefer no spraying, we offer the In2Care Mosquito Trap System. This is a popular pick for Ashburn homeowners with gardens, young children, or pets. We place the stations in shaded spots around your property where mosquitoes look for shelter and water.
When a mosquito enters the trap, it picks up larvicide and a fungal agent from the gauze strips inside. That mosquito then carries these to other breeding sites across your yard. The treatment spreads to places you can't even see. Over time, this knocks down mosquito numbers across your whole property.
Traps are serviced monthly from April through October. The system works very well for Ashburn properties near HOA ponds and the Broadlands Wetlands where mosquito breeding is heavy.
How In2Care Targets the Full Mosquito Lifecycle
Unlike spray-only methods, In2Care targets both adult mosquitoes and larvae at the same time. Treated mosquitoes spread larvicide to hidden spots like clogged gutters, tire ruts, and bird baths that would otherwise go missed.
Tick Prevention for Ashburn Families
Ashburn sits close to the W&OD Trail, Hal & Berni Hanson Regional Park, and the woods near Willowsford. Deer, mice, and other tick carriers are never far from your yard. Deer ticks carry Lyme disease. Lone star ticks can cause alpha-gal syndrome, a red meat allergy.
Our tick program has two granular treatments (one in spring, one in fall) timed to when ticks are most active. We also set out Damminix Tick Tubes. These are tubes filled with treated cotton. Mice take the cotton back to their nests. Young ticks that feed on those mice are killed.
Together, these treatments break the tick lifecycle at more than one point. This matters most for homes in Broadlands, Belmont, and western Ashburn where yards back up to woods and trails.
Why Spring and Fall Tick Treatments Matter
Young ticks are most active in spring. That's when they are most likely to bite people. Fall treatments target adult ticks before they lay eggs that last through winter. Treating in both seasons cuts tick numbers in your yard by a large margin.
Why Ashburn Has a Serious Mosquito Problem
Ashburn, VA sits in the middle of Loudoun County's fastest-growing area. The mix of water features and packed-in neighborhoods creates a mosquito problem that most homeowners can't solve on their own.
The numbers tell the story. Ashburn Village alone has 8 lakes and ponds. Ashburn Farm has 5 fishing ponds. The Broadlands Wetlands is a protected habitat. And just southeast of Brambleton, Beaverdam Reservoir covers over 300 acres. Every one of these water sources breeds mosquitoes from April through October.
Then there's the building boom. New projects around the Ashburn Metro Station and Moorefield keep creating puddles and pools in construction sites and freshly graded lots. Asian tiger mosquitoes love these conditions. They bite during the day and can carry West Nile virus.
Ashburn's hot, humid summers (87 degrees on average in July, 70%+ humidity) keep mosquitoes active for 7 months. Without regular treatment, homeowners in ZIP codes 20147 and 20148 face nonstop mosquito pressure from all the breeding habitat around them.

What Ashburn-Area Homeowners Say
1,100+ 5 Star Reviews on Google "I love Darren over at Better Termite. He is always so attentive and kind, and really goes, IMO, out of his way to do a fantastic job. And I am so happy that I had NO MOSQUITOES this summer in my backyard in spite of the fact that there is a drainage area right behind my house, and that is 100% because of Better Termites services."
"I've had nothing but great experiences for 3 years now. Their consistent, reliable service really stands out for me, and everyone is always kind and easy to talk to. I also like that they're a local, family-run business... Kamaal, who I'm gonna call my customer consultant, is fantastic—he really listens to my concerns and works with me to come up with the best plan for whatever pest issues I'm dealing with. He even keeps me updated on pest trends in my area so we can stay ahead of any problems."
"Better Termite has been keeping our house bug free for years with regular perimeter treatments. As a small, family owned business, they are able to personalize their approach based on your needs. It's clear that they prioritize customer service and communication. We recently had a swarm of a stinging insect take shelter under our ground-level deck, and they researched, bought necessary equipment, and came up with the best way to treat it. Highly recommend!"
"We've had a subscription service with this company for yrs, since moving into our current house, and realizing it was rather...spidery. But NO MORE! Better Termite uses pet-friendly, but not spider-friendly products, and we are now creepy crawly-free! Over the years, they've also tackled ants, bees, and HORRIBLE paper wasps!"
