Better Termite & Pest Control provides comprehensive mosquito control services throughout Ashburn, VA and the surrounding areas. As a family-owned business since 1968, we bring over 300 years of combined team experience to protect your outdoor space.
Our professional mosquito control approach eliminates 9 harsh chemicals commonly used in the industry. Instead, we rely on products like Essentria, EcoVia, and Borate-based solutions that our research team has approved for use in homes like ours.
We offer free estimates with no binding contracts, plus unlimited callbacks until we achieve your desired baseline. Our pest management services can be bundled together, allowing you to save money while protecting your property from mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests throughout the season.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Peak tick activity occurs during these seasons when they actively seek hosts, making targeted treatments most effective for preventing tick-borne disease transmission.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
All products we use are EPA approved and have passed through our internal research team. We’ve eliminated 9 harsh chemicals from our treatments, choosing alternatives like Essentria and EcoVia. These are products we would feel comfortable using in our own homes. Additionally, we offer unlimited callbacks at no extra cost if any issues arise.
We recommend monthly treatments during peak season from April through October. Some properties may benefit from treatments starting in March when we also address tick issues. Consistency is key to maintaining a mosquito-free outdoor space throughout the active season.
Our treatments target Aedes mosquitoes including Asian tiger mosquitoes, Culex species that can carry West Nile virus, and floodwater mosquitoes common in our area. We focus on reducing mosquito populations rather than just repelling them from your property.
We recommend starting in March or April before mosquito eggs hatch and populations establish. Early spring treatments prevent mosquitoes from building up to nuisance levels during peak summer months.
In2Care stations are placed in shaded areas around your property. Mosquitoes enter the stations, become contaminated with larvicide and fungus, then spread these agents to breeding sites throughout your area. This creates long-term control by targeting the entire mosquito lifecycle.
Yes, we provide same-day or next-day service when possible. Call us at 703-683-2000 to speak directly with a licensed technician who can provide a free estimate and dispatch a registered technician to your property.
