Springfield Mosquito Control Programs
Better Termite & Pest Control has served Springfield families since 1968, helping homeowners reclaim outdoor spaces from persistent mosquito problems. Our comprehensive mosquito management combines proven treatments with innovative technology for season-long backyard protection.
Springfield\'s well-maintained landscapes and irrigation systems create ideal breeding conditions, while proximity to natural water sources keeps pressure high from spring through fall. Our targeted mosquito control programs reduce populations and disrupt breeding cycles tailored to these local challenges.
We offer traditional spray treatments and eco-friendly In2Care systems. Registered technicians inspect each property to find problem areas and create custom plans, and our programs include unlimited callbacks so we\'ll return at no extra cost if mosquitoes come back between scheduled visits.

Springfield Mosquito Control: Local Mosquito Insights
Springfield faces pressure from Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger) and Culex pipiens throughout warm months. Suburban landscaping offers shelter while standing water enables rapid breeding.
Common breeding spots include clogged gutters, decorative water features, plant saucers, and areas where irrigation leaves temporary pools. Even small water in toys or tarps can fuel growth, and the mature tree canopy provides ideal resting areas.
The climate allows activity from early spring to late fall with humid summers driving peaks. Because populations rebound quickly after rain, consistent management is essential for lasting comfort.
How Our Springfield Mosquito Control Works
Our treatment methodology starts with a detailed inspection of your property to identify mosquito breeding sites and resting areas. During this process, licensed technicians examine areas where mosquitoes typically congregate, including dense vegetation, shaded spots, and areas with standing water.
The treatment involves applying an adulticide combined with an growth regulator using a backpack sprayer system. Basically, the adulticide targets adult mosquitoes currently on your property, while the growth regulator disrupts the development of mosquito larvae. This dual approach provides both immediate relief and longer-term population control.
Our technicians focus on the ecotone areas of your property - essentially the transition zones between your maintained landscaping and natural areas. These locations serve as prime mosquito habitats because they offer both shelter and moisture. Additionally, we treat dense foliage, ivy patches, and other areas where mosquitoes rest during the day.
The materials we use have passed through our internal research team\'s evaluation process. we\'ve eliminated 9 harsh chemicals commonly used in the industry, choosing products we\'d feel comfortable using around our own families.
In2Care Mosquito Control System
The In2Care mosquito control system represents a breakthrough in eco-friendly mosquito management through innovative auto-dissemination technology. This system uses specially designed stations placed strategically around your property to target mosquitoes in a completely different way than traditional treatments.
Each station contains a unique gauze strip treated with both a larvicide and a specific fungus That\'s harmless to humans and pets but lethal to mosquitoes. When female mosquitoes enter the stations seeking a place to lay eggs, they become contaminated with these active ingredients. The mosquitoes then carry these materials to other breeding sites throughout your neighborhood.
This auto-dissemination process essentially turns mosquitoes into unwitting agents of their own population control. Because the contaminated mosquitoes visit multiple breeding sites, they spread the larvicide to water sources that would be impossible to treat directly. The fungus component works over time to eliminate adult mosquitoes while the larvicide prevents larvae from developing in contaminated breeding sites.
The In2Care system works continuously throughout the mosquito season without requiring frequent reapplication. Stations are refilled and maintained as needed, typically lasting several months per refill.
How the In2Care System Fights Mosquitoes
In2Care stations provide residual control by contaminating mosquitoes that then spread active ingredients to multiple breeding sites. This creates ongoing breeding site disruption across a much larger area than the stations themselves occupy. The system targets mosquito reproduction cycles rather than just eliminating adult mosquitoes.
Tick Treatment
Springfield experiences a significant tick surge during March, requiring early intervention to protect families from tick-borne illnesses. Our March treatment involves both granular application and topical spray methods to target ticks as they become active after winter dormancy.
The granular application distributes active ingredients throughout areas where ticks are likely to quest for hosts. This includes transition zones between lawn and natural areas, around walking paths, and near outdoor seating areas. Additionally, we apply topical treatments to areas where family members and pets frequently spend time.
Our tick program includes a November retreat to address the second peak of tick activity that occurs in fall. During this season, adult ticks become active again, creating renewed risk for disease transmission. The fall treatment helps reduce populations before ticks seek overwintering sites.
Between the spring and fall granular applications, we provide monthly topical treatments from April through October. This comprehensive approach addresses both the spring tick surge and ongoing tick pressure throughout the warm months.
Mosquito Treatment Process
Our mosquito treatment process begins with a comprehensive inspection of your entire property to identify current mosquito activity and potential breeding sites. Licensed technicians examine vegetation, water sources, and structural features that might harbor mosquitoes.
Following the inspection, we apply targeted spray treatments to areas where mosquitoes rest and breed. This barrier treatment creates a protective zone around your outdoor living spaces while reducing mosquito populations in surrounding areas. The treatment focuses on areas like dense shrubs, under decks, and around water features.
We schedule regular follow-up visits throughout the mosquito season to maintain protection and address any new problem areas. Because mosquito populations can fluctuate based on weather and other factors, ongoing treatments are essential for consistent results.
Our program includes unlimited callbacks between scheduled visits. If you notice increased mosquito activity after a treatment, simply contact our office and we\'ll return to retreat the affected areas at no additional charge. This commitment ensures you receive the protection you\'re paying for throughout the entire season.
Seasonal Springfield Mosquito Control
Our seasonal approach starts with spring pre-treatment before mosquito populations become established. This early intervention helps prevent the initial population buildup that would otherwise lead to problems throughout the summer months.
Summer maintenance treatments occur monthly to address peak mosquito activity. During these warmer months, mosquito reproduction cycles accelerate, requiring consistent treatment pressure to maintain population control. Additionally, summer treatments target the areas where mosquitoes are most active during family outdoor activities.
We complete our fall final spray as temperatures begin to drop and mosquito activity decreases. This treatment helps reduce the number of mosquitoes that might survive into the following season. Because some mosquito species overwinter as adults, fall treatments provide an important population reduction benefit for the next year.
Our year-round protection approach means starting treatments early and maintaining them consistently through the entire mosquito season. This strategy provides much better results than sporadic treatments because it prevents population buildup rather than just reacting to existing problems.
