Kensington Mosquito Control

Every property gets a full inspection before we spray a drop. Licensed technicians walk your lot and identify breeding sites like clogged gutters on older Cape Cods, standing water in planters, drainage pooling in your yard's low spots, and moisture trapped under mature oaks and elms.

Barrier spray treatment is the core of our program. We use a backpack mist blower to apply an adulticide and growth regulator mix to vegetation, deck undersides, patio areas, fence lines, and shaded spots where mosquitoes rest. The adulticide kills active mosquitoes on contact. The growth regulator stops the next batch from developing.

Standing water that can't be drained gets targeted larvicide treatments. We focus on tree holes, low-lying yard sections, and drainage easements near the Kensington Parkway corridor. These trouble spots are common across Kensington's older neighborhoods where clay soil traps moisture and postwar grading doesn't always move water off the lot.

Treatments run monthly from April through October. Between visits, our unlimited callback policy means we return at no extra cost if activity spikes after a heavy rain or weather shift. That's our Better Promise.

Kensington connects directly to Rock Creek Park, Ken-Gar Palisades, and the Kensington Cabin Park trail system. Deer and wildlife move through residential yards daily, bringing ticks with them. Blacklegged ticks and lone star ticks are both active across the 20895 ZIP code from March through November.

Our tick program starts in March with granular applications targeting the spring nymph surge. We focus on the transition zones where your maintained lawn meets natural brush or woods. That boundary is where most tick encounters happen. Dogs using the Rock Creek trail or kids playing near wooded edges pick up ticks in exactly these spots.

From April through October, tick spray treatments run alongside your mosquito visits on the same appointment. A November wrap-up treatment targets overwintering adults and reduces next year's tick population before they go dormant.

Bundle Tick and Mosquito Control in One Plan

Lyme disease cases keep climbing across Montgomery County. Our SeasonGuard+ plan bundles mosquito, tick, pest, and termite protection into one monthly service starting at $95/month. One technician. One bill. One less thing to manage. It's the plan most Kensington families choose.

March–April: Early season strike. We target overwintering egg sites before the first generation hatches. Starting early is the single most effective step you can take. It stops the population buildup that makes mid-summer mosquito problems so hard to fix. Granular tick treatments begin at the same time.

May–September: Peak season barrier sprays. Monthly treatments keep your mosquito barrier active through the hottest months. Each visit covers vegetation, hardscaping, and standing water sources. Our technicians watch for new breeding spots created by summer storms. This is important in Kensington where clay soil and hilly terrain trap water in unexpected places.

October: Fall wrap-up. A final treatment reduces the overwintering population that would otherwise emerge the following spring. This late-season visit also targets adult ticks before they go dormant, shrinking next year's baseline for both pests.
