Lake Shores, Creek Corridors, and a Persistent Mosquito Problem
Round Hill sits at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western Loudoun County. Sleeter Lake, the North Fork of Goose Creek, and dozens of farm ponds create some of the densest mosquito breeding habitat in the county. The vineyards, horse pastures, and wooded estate lots that surround the town make things worse. You get a 6-month mosquito season that starts in April and doesn't let up until October. The area gets about 43 inches of rain per year. Summer humidity tops 70% for weeks.
Better Termite & Pest Control has been protecting homes across Northern Virginia since 1968. That's 57 years of hands-on local experience. Our Round Hill mosquito program pairs monthly barrier sprays with growth regulators that stop the breeding cycle before populations get out of hand. Every plan includes unlimited free callbacks between visits.
Our internal research team removed 9 of the harshest chemicals common in the pest control industry and replaced them with lower-risk alternatives like Essentria and EcoVia. These are products we use in our own backyards. No binding contracts. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice.

How Our 7-Month Barrier Program Protects Round Hill Yards
Every mosquito program begins with a 78-point property inspection. Your licensed technician walks the full lot, mapping standing water sources, drainage patterns, shaded resting zones, and vegetation near creek corridors or lake edges. A 5-acre estate at Stoneleigh Golf Club needs a different strategy than a colonial in the Villages at Round Hill or a lakeside home at Lake Point. Our inspection captures those details.
From April through October, we visit monthly with a backpack mist blower. We apply a targeted spray paired with an insect growth regulator (IGR). The spray kills active mosquitoes on contact. The IGR stops larvae from developing into biting adults, breaking the breeding cycle before populations build on your property.
We concentrate on shaded foliage, hedges, the underside of decks and porches, barn perimeters, and vegetation near standing water. We skip blooming plants and vegetable gardens. After every visit, you get a detailed email report listing what was applied and where.
The Asian Tiger Mosquito: Why Round Hill's Wooded Properties Face Daylight Attacks
The Asian tiger mosquito is Round Hill's most aggressive pest during daylight hours. You can spot it by its jet-black body and bold white-striped legs. This species doesn't wait until dusk. It will chase you from the barn to the back porch in broad daylight. It breeds in tiny amounts of standing water, including clogged gutters, plant saucers, tire ruts, forgotten buckets near sheds, and water that pools in tarps over firewood stacks. Communities like Villages at Round Hill, Lake Point, and Whitehall Farm deal with this species heavily because of their wooded lots and closeness to water.
After sunset, the common house mosquito takes over. This species breeds in larger water sources like Sleeter Lake, the Stoneleigh Golf Club ponds, farm ponds along the foothills, and the slow-moving stretches of the North Fork of Goose Creek. Properties in Stoneleigh, Hamlets of Blue Ridge, and Sunny Ridge deal with heavy dusk and nighttime activity. Their closeness to water and wooded corridors keeps populations high all summer.
Our treatment program addresses both species. The barrier spray eliminates adults wherever they rest during the day. The insect growth regulator disrupts eggs and larvae in breeding sites. Together, these two methods attack the lifecycle at every stage. Most homeowners notice a significant drop in mosquito activity within 24 hours of the first visit.
Monthly barrier treatments target shaded resting spots where mosquitoes hide between blood meals
Mosquitoes rest in shaded areas during the day and become most active at dusk near creek corridors
We treat hedges, eaves, and deck undersides while avoiding blooming plants and vegetable gardens
House mosquitoes breed in larger water sources like farm ponds, lake edges, and creek overflow areas
Properties near golf courses, vineyards, and wooded lots need extra attention during each visit
In2Care Stations: No-Spray Mosquito Control for Round Hill Estates
If you want mosquito reduction without traditional spraying, our In2Care program uses small stations placed around your yard instead of barrier treatments. Each station holds treated gauze with a larvicide and a fungus that targets mosquitoes at the source.
Female mosquitoes enter the stations looking for a place to lay eggs. They contact the treated materials and then carry them to natural breeding sites across your yard and neighboring properties. This autodissemination effect means a single station creates expanding zones of control well beyond where it sits. It's especially effective near Sleeter Lake, the Goose Creek floodplain, and the stormwater features found throughout Lake Point, Villages at Round Hill, and Woodgrove at Round Hill.
Our technicians install and maintain In2Care stations monthly from April through October. The system works nonstop between visits. Many Round Hill homeowners combine In2Care with our barrier spray for the best results. It also works on its own for properties near gardens, vineyard plots, or sensitive water features like those found at Williams Gap Vineyard and along Goose Creek.
How Autodissemination Multiplies Your Coverage
Treated mosquitoes don't stay near the station. They visit multiple breeding sites across several neighboring properties, spreading the larvicide and fungus at each one. For properties surrounded by lake shores, creek corridors, or golf course water features, this reach makes a real difference that barrier spray alone can't match.
Sleeter Lake, Goose Creek, and Round Hill's Mosquito Breeding Zones
Round Hill sits at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western Loudoun County. The town is about 12 miles west of Leesburg and roughly 50 miles from Washington, DC. It's an official Appalachian Trail Community, with the AT "Rollercoaster" section, Bears Den, and Blackburn Trail Center just a few miles to the west. The area mixes historic village homes, planned communities, golf course estates, and working horse farms on multi-acre lots.
The biggest natural mosquito factories sit right in the middle of it all. Sleeter Lake anchors the Lake Point community and Sleeter Lake Park, with shoreline vegetation and still water creating prime breeding habitat from March through October. The North Fork of Goose Creek drains the area eastward, and its floodplain holds standing water well into summer after heavy rains. The Franklin Park pond, the Stoneleigh Golf Club water features, and dozens of private farm ponds add to the network.
The Villages at Round Hill is the largest community, with over 1,200 homes built between 1997 and 2014. Its walking trails, green spaces, and proximity to Woodgrove Park create habitat overlap between residential activity and mosquito breeding zones. Lake Point's 303 homes sit directly on Sleeter Lake with canoe and kayak access. Stoneleigh's 139 custom homes on 1 to 5-acre wooded lots surround an 18-hole golf course with multiple ponds. All three communities see heavy mosquito pressure from May through September.
Round Hill's humid subtropical climate brings about 43 inches of rain per year. July highs reach the upper 80s with nighttime lows in the mid-60s. Humidity stays above 70% for weeks. The farming character of the area makes things worse. Barns, horse troughs, vineyard watering, and drainage ditches hold standing water across properties in Hamlets of Blue Ridge, Whitehall Farm, Taylor Acres, and Sunny Ridge. Deer, field mice, and wildlife move freely between the Blue Ridge foothills and residential yards. That means tick pressure is just as serious as the mosquitoes.
Tick Protection for Round Hill Homes Near the Blue Ridge Foothills
Ticks are a serious concern across western Loudoun County. Deer ticks carrying Lyme disease live in the wooded, brushy areas that surround Round Hill. You'll find them near the Appalachian Trail corridors, across the pastures and estate lots in Stoneleigh and Hamlets of Blue Ridge, and along the rural stretches of Route 7. Our LawnShield program bundles mosquito and tick control into a single monthly plan. You get one bill, one schedule, and a lower cost than booking two separate services.
Tick treatments start in March with granular applications that target the spring nymph surge. That's when young ticks wake up from winter and start looking for hosts along fence lines, tall grass, and the edge where your lawn meets natural brush. Monthly sprays from April through October focus on those edges. A November retreatment knocks down ticks before they settle in for winter.
We also place Damminix Tick Tubes filled with permethrin-treated cotton. Mice pick up the cotton for their nests. The treatment then kills the ticks that feed on those mice, breaking a key part of the tick lifecycle. This works especially well on Round Hill properties where deer, field mice, and small mammals move freely between the Blue Ridge foothills, vineyard edges, and residential yards.
LawnShield: One Plan for Mosquitoes and Ticks
Our LawnShield program covers both mosquitoes and ticks with 9 strategically timed treatments from March through November. Starting at $95 per month, it includes automatic scheduling, one consolidated bill, and unlimited free callbacks between visits. It's the simplest way to protect your Round Hill yard through the entire outdoor season.
From Phone Call to First Treatment: What to Expect
Step 1: Talk to a Real Person. Call 703-683-2000 and you'll speak directly with a licensed technician. No phone tree, no overseas call center. They'll discuss your property, recommend the right program, and give you a quote during that same conversation.
Step 2: 78-Point Property Inspection. Your technician arrives and walks the full property. They check drainage patterns, standing water sources, shaded resting areas, barn perimeters, and vegetation near lake edges or creek corridors. A 5-acre custom estate at Stoneleigh needs a different plan than a colonial in the Villages at Round Hill or a lakeside home at Lake Point. Our inspection accounts for those details.
Step 3: Initial Treatment. Using products vetted by our research team, we apply a targeted barrier treatment to shaded foliage, hedges, eaves, deck undersides, barn entrances, and vegetation near water. Most homeowners notice a significant reduction in mosquito activity within 24 to 48 hours.
Step 4: Monthly Protection Through October. Visits run April through October, keeping barrier coverage consistent through peak mosquito season. Between visits, our unlimited callback policy means we come back at no extra cost if you spot a problem. After each service, you'll receive an email report detailing what was applied and where.
