How Our Mosquito Control Works
Our mosquito control treatment begins with a thorough property inspection by our registered technicians. We identify key mosquito resting sites including shrubs, shaded areas, and deck undersides where adult mosquitoes spend their time.
Using backpack sprayers, our control professionals apply targeted treatments to foliage, ivy patches, and shaded lawn care areas. The treatment combines an adulticide for immediate results with a growth regulator that disrupts the mosquito life cycle.
We re-treat your property through monthly treatments during peak season. Additionally, we provide follow-up visits at no extra cost if mosquitoes persist between scheduled services. Our approach focuses on eliminating standing water breeding sites while creating a protective barrier around your outdoor environment.
In2Care Mosquito Control System
The In2Care Mosquito Control System offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional spray treatments. These specialized stations are placed in shaded areas around your property where mosquitoes naturally rest and seek breeding sites.
Each station contains gauze strips treated with larvicide and a beneficial fungus. When adult mosquitoes enter the station, they become contaminated and carry these agents to other water sources where they lay their eggs in water. This process spreads the larvicide throughout the mosquito population.
The system provides effective mosquito control by targeting both adult and larval stages simultaneously. Unlike traditional treatments, In2Care has minimal impact on beneficial pollinators and creates long-term reduction of mosquito populations. While the system costs more than conventional spraying, it offers sustained protection and environmental benefits that many homeowners prefer.
How the In2Care System Works
The contaminated mosquitoes spread larvicide and fungus to multiple breeding sites, creating a network effect that reduces mosquito populations over time while protecting beneficial insects.
Tick Treatment
Our tick control program includes targeted treatments during peak tick activity periods. We apply granular treatments in March during the spring tick surge and again in late fall to disrupt the tick lifecycle.
These applications focus on the ecotone areas where ticks naturally occur. The granular products create a barrier that interrupts tick development and reduces populations before they can pose health risks.
Tick control is essential for preventing Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Our approach targets deer ticks and other local species that can transmit serious diseases to humans and pets.
Why Tick Treatment in Spring and Fall Matters
Peak tick activity occurs during these seasons when they actively seek hosts, making targeted treatments most effective for preventing tick-borne disease transmission.
Local Mosquito Insights
Ashburn, VA and Loudoun County face significant mosquito challenges due to the area\'s rapid suburban development. Asian tiger mosquitoes and floodwater mosquitoes are particularly common in our region.
The expansion of new communities creates ideal breeding conditions with construction sites, retention ponds, and landscaping features that collect water. These mosquitoes can carry West Nile virus and have the potential to spread Zika virus.
Local vegetation and shaded areas around homes provide perfect resting spots for mosquitoes. The combination of standing water from construction and mature tree cover makes professional mosquito control essential for enjoying your outdoor environment.
Treatment Process
Our mosquito control services begin with an initial phone consultation with a licensed technician. During this call, we provide a free estimate and explain our comprehensive control program.
Our on-site inspection includes a detailed check for standing water sources and shaded areas where mosquitoes rest. We examine shrub lines, deck undersides, lawn perimeters, and any areas that retain moisture.
The treatment application targets specific zones using our approved products. We focus on the ecotone where your landscaped areas meet natural spaces, treating vegetation and creating a protective barrier. Follow-up visits occur monthly during peak season, with free callbacks available if mosquitoes return between scheduled treatments.
Our Step-by-Step Treatment Plan
Initial inspection identifies breeding sites and resting areas, followed by targeted treatment application, ongoing monitoring, and scheduled repeat visits throughout the mosquito season.
Seasonal Mosquito Control
Seasonal mosquito management requires different approaches throughout the season. In March, we focus on tick control during the spring surge, while April marks the beginning of active mosquito treatments.
Spring treatments target early-season larvae in water sources before adult populations emerge. Summer requires monthly treatments from May through September to maintain control during peak mosquito activity and protect your outdoor activities.
Fall treatments in October and November focus on final population reduction before mosquitoes enter dormancy. We adjust our control program based on weather patterns and local mosquito activity levels to ensure consistent protection.
Adapting Our Program Through the Seasons
Treatment timing and product selection change with seasonal mosquito behavior patterns, ensuring optimal control while minimizing environmental impact during each phase of the mosquito lifecycle.
