Mosquito Control Built for Chantilly's Suburban Landscape
Chantilly's location along Big Rocky Run, Walney Creek, and the forested corridors of the 640-acre Ellanor C. Lawrence Park drives heavy mosquito breeding from April through October. Stormwater retention ponds throughout HOA communities in Walney Village, Pleasant Valley, and South Riding add even more standing water where mosquitoes reproduce.
Better Termite & Pest Control has served Chantilly families since 1968. Our research team has eliminated 9 harsh chemicals from our programs, choosing reduced-risk products like Essentria and EcoVia instead. Whether you're in Walney Village, Chantilly Green, Franklin Farm, or South Riding, we understand what drives mosquito populations in your specific neighborhood and treat accordingly.
Every Chantilly mosquito control plan includes unlimited callbacks at no extra cost. If mosquitoes come back between scheduled visits, so do we. No binding contracts. Call 703-683-2000 and talk directly with a licensed technician about your property.

How Chantilly 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 Chantilly, that means checking drainage near retention ponds, leaf litter in wooded borders along Big Rocky Run, standing water in gutters, bird baths, corrugated drain pipes, and those forgotten planter saucers on your patio.
During treatment, we use professional backpack sprayers to apply a spray that kills adult mosquitoes on contact combined with a product that stops young mosquitoes from developing. We focus on shrub lines, deck undersides, eave overhangs, and shaded vegetation where mosquitoes rest during the day. We aren't spraying your entire yard. We hit the spots where mosquitoes actually live.
Monthly visits during the active season build on each other to create layered protection. Our unlimited callback policy means we'll return between visits if activity picks up after a heavy thunderstorm or a humid stretch during Chantilly's warm summers.
In2Care: Mosquito Control That Spreads Itself
With Big Rocky Run, Walney Creek, stormwater ponds, and the forested edges of Ellanor C. Lawrence Park all feeding mosquito populations into Chantilly neighborhoods, traditional spray-only programs can't reach every breeding source. 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 other water sources across your property and into neighboring areas, including hidden spots that no technician could find.
Why In2Care Works Well in Chantilly
- Treated mosquitoes spread control agents to breeding sites in retention ponds and wooded corridors beyond your property line
- Targets both adult mosquitoes and developing larvae in a single system
- Works continuously between technician visits with no repeated spraying
- Complements barrier sprays to provide dual-layer protection through the entire season
Monthly barrier sprays build layered protection through the entire mosquito season from April to October

Chantilly Tick Control for Wooded Properties
Chantilly's stream corridors, mature tree canopy, and parks like Ellanor C. Lawrence Park, Sully Historic Site, and Ox Hill Battlefield Park create tick habitat that borders directly on residential areas. Homes in Walney Village, Pleasant Valley, and properties backing onto Big Rocky Run face the strongest tick pressure. White-tailed deer and field mice moving through these corridors carry Lyme-disease ticks into backyards.
Our tick program uses granular applications in spring and fall to target seasonal population surges. From April through October, we spray along the border where your maintained lawn meets the woods. This transition zone is where most tick encounters with people and pets happen.
Tick Control Strategy
- Spring and fall granular treatments during peak tick activity windows
- Targeted spray along lawn-to-woods transition zones where exposure is highest
- Damminix Tick Tubes that target ticks through the mouse-tick lifecycle
- All products vetted by our research team for effectiveness and reduced environmental impact
Why Chantilly Has Heavy Mosquito Pressure
Chantilly sits in the Piedmont region where oak-hickory forests, stream valleys, and suburban development converge. Big Rocky Run, Walney Creek, and Round Lick Run drain through residential areas into the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The 640-acre Ellanor C. Lawrence Park provides habitat for wildlife, but also creates a natural mosquito production zone that borders neighborhoods in Walney Village and along Route 28.
The Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is the most aggressive species in Chantilly. It bites during daylight hours and thrives in the shaded, tree-lined lots found throughout Pleasant Valley, Franklin Farm, and Chantilly Green. The common house mosquito (Culex pipiens) becomes active at dusk and breeds in standing water from clogged gutters, corrugated drain pipes, and the dozens of HOA retention ponds that dot the Chantilly landscape.
Virginia's humid climate, with Chantilly summer highs near 88°F and frequent afternoon thunderstorms, extends the mosquito season well into October. The 1970s-1990s suburban homes that make up most of Chantilly come with wood decks, attached garages, and landscaped common areas that give mosquitoes plenty of hiding spots. Neighborhoods near Dulles Airport also deal with large paved surfaces and drainage systems that collect standing water in low spots.
Your Chantilly Mosquito Control Schedule
March: Pre-season larvicide and granular tick applications. We target early breeding sites before temperatures consistently reach 50°F and mosquito activity starts. Getting ahead of the population curve is the most cost-effective move you can make.
April through October: Monthly barrier spray treatments hit foliage, building perimeters, and shaded resting zones. Each visit builds on the last. During peak summer months, properties near Big Rocky Run or Ellanor C. Lawrence Park may need treatments every 3 weeks when mosquito pressure is strongest.
November: Fall wrap-up with final granular tick treatment and property winterization recommendations. Reducing overwintering populations gives you a lower-pressure start the following spring.
After Every Visit
We email you a detailed report with product logs and recommendations for your property. Our unlimited callback policy means we return between scheduled visits if mosquito activity increases. You never pay extra to get the results you're paying for.
Bundle Mosquito Control with Year-Round Protection
Most Chantilly homeowners deal with more than mosquitoes. The same forested corridors and stream valleys that drive mosquito populations also bring ticks, ants, spiders, and rodents looking for entry points around your foundation, garage, and deck stairways. Older homes in Chantilly Green and Armfield Farms and newer townhomes in Commonwealth Place at Westfields each come with their own pest challenges.
