Your backyard should be a place where you can enjoy summer evenings without constantly swatting away mosquitoes. Our Greenbelt mosquito control programs give you back those outdoor moments you’ve been missing.
We offer full-season management through our LawnShield program, which runs monthly from March through November. Each treatment combines targeted backpack sprayer applications with strategic granular treatments. Our registered technicians use a carefully selected mix of adulticide and growth regulator compounds, including EcoVia and Essentria – products that passed through our internal research team.
As a 57-year local family business operating in the Greenbelt area, we’ve eliminated 9 harsh chemicals commonly used in our industry. Additionally, we back every treatment with unlimited free callbacks between visits. If mosquitoes return before your next scheduled service, we’ll retreat at no extra cost. Because we don’t believe in binding contracts, you can cancel anytime with 30 days notice.
Every effective mosquito program starts with a thorough property inspection to identify breeding sites and problem areas. Our licensed technicians examine your yard for standing water sources, dense foliage areas, and shaded spots where mosquitoes rest during the day.
Targeted backpack sprays focus on ivy patches, thick brush, and other shaded vegetation where mosquitoes hide. The treatment creates a barrier that significantly reduces mosquito populations within 24 hours. We carefully avoid blooming flowers and edible plants to protect pollinators and your garden.
Follow-up visits occur monthly throughout mosquito season, with unlimited retreatments available until we establish a good baseline. Our approach focuses on getting results quickly, then maintaining that protection consistently. Because every property is different, we adjust treatment areas and methods based on what works best for your specific yard layout and mosquito pressure.
The In2Care mosquito control system represents a breakthrough in eco-friendly mosquito management. These innovative stations contain a special gauze strip treated with larvicide and fungus that targets mosquitoes specifically.
Here’s how it works: mosquitoes enter the station and contact the treated gauze, becoming contaminated with the active ingredients. They then carry these materials to other breeding sites, spreading the larvicide and fungus to larvae and other adult mosquitoes. This creates a dual action control system that targets both adult mosquitoes and developing larvae.
In2Care stations are placed strategically in shaded areas around your property where mosquitoes naturally rest. The system provides minimal impact on pollinators like bees and butterflies, making it ideal for environmentally conscious homeowners. You can use In2Care as a standalone treatment or combine it with traditional spray applications for enhanced protection.
In2Care eco-friendly mosquito management offers long-term population reduction by disrupting the mosquito lifecycle at multiple stages. The stations work continuously between visits, providing ongoing protection that builds over time. Because mosquitoes spread the active ingredients to breeding sites we can’t directly access, In2Care covers areas that traditional treatments might miss.
March granular applications target the spring tick surge when these pests become active after winter dormancy. Our April through October topical treatments focus on ecotone areas where your landscaping transitions to natural terrain – prime tick habitat.
November pre-winter granules reduce tick populations before they establish overwintering sites. This comprehensive approach helps prevent Lyme disease and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, both serious tick-borne illnesses affecting our area.
Bundling tick control with mosquito programs provides significant cost savings while creating comprehensive yard protection. We establish barrier zones around your property’s perimeter and high-activity areas where family members spend time outdoors. Free callbacks ensure tick protection remains effective between scheduled treatments, backed by licensed technician inspection and retreatment when needed.
Greenbelt residents primarily deal with Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito) and Culex pipiens mosquito species. The Asian tiger mosquito is particularly aggressive during daytime hours and breeds in small containers around homes.
Potomac River influence and suburban development create ideal mosquito breeding conditions. Standing water accumulates in storm drains, flower pots, and low-lying yard areas after rainfall. The dense tree cover throughout Greenbelt neighborhoods provides perfect resting spots for adult mosquitoes.
Seasonal mosquito surges typically peak from May through September in the DC Metro area. However, mild springs can extend mosquito season into early April, while warm falls push activity into October. Tailored Greenbelt strategies must account for the area’s unique mix of suburban yards and natural green spaces.
Our treatment process follows a systematic approach designed to deliver maximum mosquito reduction. Thorough inspection comes first – we examine your entire property to identify current and potential mosquito breeding areas.
Targeted spray application focuses on vegetation and surfaces where mosquitoes rest during the day. We apply larvicide in water receptacles that can’t be drained, stopping mosquito development before adults emerge. The treatment also includes detailed homeowner elimination tips for removing standing water sources we discover during inspection.
Two-week follow-up scheduling ensures we maintain consistent mosquito pressure reduction throughout the season. Every service includes unlimited free callbacks if mosquitoes return between treatments. Additionally, we send an email service report after each visit detailing what we treated and products we used on your property.
Our registered technician starts by walking your property to identify mosquito hotspots and breeding sources. Next, they apply appropriate treatments to vegetation and standing water areas using backpack equipment for precise application. Finally, they provide specific recommendations for maintaining mosquito control between professional visits.
Spring kickoff begins in April when mosquito activity starts increasing with warmer temperatures. Early season treatments focus on eliminating overwintering breeding sites and establishing protective barriers before peak populations develop.
Peak summer treatments occur monthly from May through August when mosquito pressure reaches its highest levels. During this period, we adjust for rainfall and temperature patterns that affect mosquito development rates. Combining traditional sprays with In2Care stations provides comprehensive coverage during heavy mosquito months.
Fall final treatments continue through October, targeting late-season mosquito flushes that occur during warm autumn periods. Homeowner preparation includes ongoing efforts to drain containers, tip wheelbarrows, and maintain gutters throughout mosquito season. Our year-round readiness means we can respond quickly when unseasonably warm weather brings unexpected mosquito activity.
March focuses on tick treatments with granular applications, while April begins mosquito treatments that run monthly through October. Peak mosquito control occurs during June, July, and August when populations reach maximum levels. November concludes the season with final tick treatments to reduce overwintering populations.
All products we use are EPA approved and have passed through our internal research team. Each treatment uses materials we would feel comfortable using in our own homes. Re-entry to treated areas is typically recommended after a few hours once materials have dried.
Our Greenbelt mosquito control programs run monthly from April through October. This frequency maintains consistent mosquito reduction throughout peak season while adapting to changing weather conditions and mosquito pressure levels.
We target Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens species common in the Greenbelt area. Our treatments effectively reduce populations of Asian tiger mosquitoes, house mosquitoes, and other species that breed in suburban yard environments.
April represents the ideal start time for Greenbelt mosquito control programs. Beginning treatments before peak populations develop provides better long-term control than waiting until mosquito activity becomes unbearable during summer months.
In2Care stations contain treated gauze that mosquitoes contact when they enter. Contaminated mosquitoes then spread larvicide and fungus to other breeding sites, creating ongoing population control that works between professional visits.
Yes, we provide emergency treatments for special events or severe mosquito outbreaks. Emergency services typically involve intensive targeted spraying followed by recommendations for ongoing monthly protection through our regular program.
We treat shaded vegetation, ivy patches, thick brush areas, and standing water sources where mosquitoes breed and rest. Treatment focuses on your yard’s perimeter and high-activity areas while avoiding blooming flowers and edible plants.
Bundling mosquito and tick control through our LawnShield program provides comprehensive yard protection at reduced cost. You can also add mosquito control to existing pest management plans for convenient single-bill service.
You can cancel anytime with 30 days notice since we don’t use binding contracts. Pausing service during travel or extended absences is also possible – just call our local office to adjust your treatment schedule.
