Mosquito Control Built for Broadlands' Wetlands and Wildlife Corridors
Broadlands isn't your typical suburb. This 1,500-acre master-planned community was built around 150 acres of Stream Valley Park, a dedicated Wetlands Preservation Area with boardwalks and ponds, and green corridors connecting to Broad Run and Beaverdam Creek. It's beautiful. It's also some of the heaviest mosquito habitat in Loudoun County.
Better Termite & Pest Control has protected Northern Virginia families since 1968. Our internal research team has eliminated 9 harsh chemicals from our treatment programs, replacing them with reduced-risk products like Essentria and EcoVia. These are products we use in our own backyards and feel comfortable with around our own families.
Every Broadlands mosquito control plan includes unlimited callbacks at no extra cost. If mosquitoes come back between visits, so do we. No binding contracts, no cancellation fees. Call 703-683-2000 to talk directly with a licensed technician about your property.

How Broadlands Mosquito Control Works
Our approach starts with a comprehensive property inspection where licensed technicians map every breeding source and resting area on your lot. In Broadlands, that means paying close attention to drainage areas near the wetlands, leaf litter along Stream Valley Park edges, mulch beds against foundations, and standing water in gutters, bird baths, and landscape containers.
During treatment, we use professional backpack sprayers to apply a targeted combination of adulticide for immediate knockdown and insect growth regulator to break the mosquito lifecycle. Barrier treatments focus on shrub lines, deck undersides, eave overhangs, and shaded vegetation where mosquitoes rest during the day. We treat the specific spots where mosquitoes actually live, not your entire yard.
Follow-up visits happen monthly from April through October, with each treatment building on the last to create layered protection. Properties backing to the Wetlands Preservation Area or community ponds may need treatments every 3 weeks during peak summer months. Our unlimited callback policy means we'll return between visits if activity picks up after heavy rain.
In2Care: Mosquito Control That Reaches the Wetlands
With 150 acres of protected wetlands, stream corridors, and community ponds surrounding your home, traditional spray-only programs can't reach every breeding source in Broadlands. In2Care turns mosquitoes into the delivery system.
We place specialized stations in shaded areas around your property. Egg-laying females are attracted to the water inside, where they contact gauze strips treated with larvicide and a beneficial fungus. Contaminated mosquitoes then carry these control agents to hidden water sources in the Wetlands Preservation Area, Stream Valley Park, and neighboring properties that no technician could ever reach manually.
Why In2Care Is a Strong Fit for Broadlands
- Auto-dissemination reaches breeding sites in the wetlands, stream corridors, and community ponds beyond your property line
- Targets both adult mosquitoes and developing larvae in a single system
- No-spray approach works continuously between technician visits
- Complements barrier sprays for dual-layer protection through the entire season
Monthly barrier treatments keep Broadlands yards comfortable from April through October
The Asian tiger mosquito is the most aggressive daytime biter in Broadlands, breeding in the community's wetlands and shaded yards
Perimeter treatments target the shaded foundation areas and shrub lines where mosquitoes rest throughout Broadlands neighborhoods
Asian tiger mosquitoes bite aggressively during daylight hours, especially near the trails and wetlands that border Broadlands homes
Broadlands' newer homes and dense landscaping create shaded conditions mosquitoes exploit from Demott & Silver to Hillside at Broadlands
Broadlands' lush landscaping and ornamental gardens create shaded resting spots that sustain mosquito populations between treatments
Broadlands Tick Control for Trail-Adjacent Properties
Broadlands' extensive trail network, wooded buffers, and wildlife corridors along Stream Valley Park create strong tick habitat. Deer, foxes, and rabbits moving through these green corridors bring ticks close to homes in communities like Hillside at Broadlands, Demott & Silver, and properties along the boardwalk trail. Lyme disease is a real concern throughout Loudoun County.
Our tick program uses granular applications in March and November to target seasonal population surges. From April through October, we apply foliar sprays along the ecotone, the transition zone where your maintained lawn meets the natural areas and trail edges. This boundary is where most tick encounters with people and pets actually happen.
Broadlands Tick Control Strategy
- Spring and fall granular treatments during peak tick activity windows
- Ecotone spray along lawn-to-woods transition zones near trails and parks
- Damminix Tick Tubes that target ticks through the mouse-tick lifecycle
- All products vetted by our internal research team for reduced environmental impact
Why Broadlands Has Such Heavy Mosquito Pressure
Broadlands is a Certified Wildlife Habitat Community by the National Wildlife Federation, and that designation comes with a tradeoff. The 150-acre Stream Valley Park running through the center of the community, the Wetlands Preservation Area with its pond and boardwalk off Mooreview Parkway, and drainage systems flowing to Broad Run and Beaverdam Creek Reservoir create some of the most productive mosquito breeding habitat in the 20148 ZIP code.
Aedes albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito, is Broadlands' most aggressive species. It bites during daylight hours and thrives in the shaded, heavily landscaped yards throughout the community. Mulch beds against foundations, ornamental plantings, and irrigated lawns create ideal resting habitat. Culex pipiens, the common house mosquito, becomes active at dusk and breeds in the community's many ponds, drainage areas, and poorly draining landscape features.
Loudoun County's humid subtropical climate, with summer highs in the upper 80s°F and well-distributed rainfall, extends the mosquito season from late April well into October. Properties near Hillside Park, the Broadlands Nature Center, and homes backing to the wetlands boardwalk face especially heavy pressure because of continuous green corridors connecting water, woods, and residential areas throughout the community.
Seasonal Mosquito Control Schedule for Broadlands
March: Pre-season larvicide and granular tick applications. We target early breeding sites before temperatures consistently reach 50°F and mosquito activity ramps up. Starting early gives Broadlands homeowners a head start before populations explode along the stream corridors and wetlands.
April through October: Monthly barrier spray treatments hit foliage, building perimeters, and shaded resting zones. Each visit builds on the previous one. During peak summer months with heavy rainfall, we may recommend treatments every 3 weeks for properties near the Wetlands Preservation Area or Stream Valley Park where pressure is strongest.
November: Fall wrap-up with final granular tick treatment and property recommendations. This reduces overwintering populations and sets you up for a lower-pressure start the following spring.
What to Expect After Each Visit
After every treatment, we email you a "Know We Did" report detailing exactly which products were applied and where. Our unlimited callback policy means we'll come back between visits if mosquito activity increases. You'll never be charged extra to get the results you're paying for.
Bundle Mosquito Control with Year-Round Protection
Most Broadlands homeowners deal with more than just mosquitoes. The same wetlands and wildlife corridors that drive mosquito populations also support ticks, ants, spiders, and rodents looking for entry points into homes through gaps at garage doors, utility penetrations, and shared walls in townhomes and condos.
Our SeasonGuard+ program bundles mosquito control, tick prevention, Sentricon termite monitoring, and general pest management into a single monthly plan starting at $95/month. You get 9 strategically timed visits per year, one consolidated bill, and unlimited callbacks across all covered pests.

- Spring and fall granular tick treatments plus Damminix Tick Tubes
- Sentricon termite baiting system with annual inspection
- Coverage for 35 common local pests including ants, spiders, crickets, and mice
