Better Termite & Pest Control brings over 55 years of family-owned expertise to Temple Hills Mosquito Control. Since 1968, three generations of the Schulz family have built our reputation on research-backed approaches that prioritize your family’s well-being.
Our internal research team has carefully reviewed thousands of studies to develop effective mosquito control programs. We’ve removed 9 harsh chemicals from our treatments, choosing better alternatives like Essentria, Borate, and EcoVia. This approach gives you yard protection and peace of mind knowing we’re using products we’d trust in our own homes.
Additionally, our Bundle & Save options make it easy to add termite, tick, or rodent control to your mosquito control programs. We back every service with free unlimited callbacks and never lock you into binding contracts. Because we believe mosquito treatment should work for your family, not against it.
Our licensed technicians begin every mosquito control service with a thorough property inspection. We identify breeding sites like standing water in gutters, flower pots, toys, and other containers where mosquitoes lay their eggs.
Using professional backpack sprayers, we apply a targeted combination of adulticide and growth regulator to vegetation, shrub lines, and shaded resting areas. This dual-action approach addresses both adult mosquitoes and disrupts their lifecycle to prevent mosquito populations from rebuilding.
Our control services focus on areas where mosquito activity peaks during warmer months. We treat under decks, around patios, and along property edges where mosquitoes rest during the day. Follow-up visits allow us to assess treatment effectiveness and retreat areas as needed to maintain consistent protection.
The In2Care system represents a breakthrough in eco-friendly mosquito control services. These innovative stations are strategically placed in shaded areas around your property where mosquitoes naturally seek shelter.
Each station contains specially treated gauze strips infused with larvicide and a mosquito-specific fungus. When mosquitoes enter the stations, they become contaminated with these materials and carry them back to breeding sites. This creates a domino effect that targets both adult mosquitoes and larvae throughout your property.
In2Care provides long-term mosquito management that works 24/7 without repeated spray applications. The system specifically targets mosquito biology, making it an ideal complement to traditional treatments or a standalone solution for environmentally conscious homeowners. This reliable pest control method continues working even when you’re not home.
The In2Care system delivers effective mosquito control with colony-wide impact that extends beyond your property boundaries. Its eco-friendly design creates minimal environmental impact while providing long-term population suppression.
Reliable pest control comes from the system’s low-maintenance design that works continuously throughout the season. Mosquitoes actually help spread the control agents, creating broader protection than traditional barrier treatments alone.
Our tick control services in Temple Hills, MD include granular applications in March and November to target seasonal surges. We apply topical sprays along the ecotone from April through October where your landscaping meets natural areas.
Tick control specifically targets vectors for Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Our residential tick control treatments focus on the areas where ticks are most likely to encounter humans and pets during outdoor activities.
Bundled mosquito and tick protection provides comprehensive yard protection that addresses multiple health risks. This integrated approach offers better value and more complete coverage than treating each pest problem separately.
Temple Hills and surrounding areas in MD face challenges from multiple mosquito species including Culex and Aedes varieties. Aedes mosquitoes are particularly concerning because they can carry Zika, dengue, and other dangerous diseases.
Local breeding hotspots include tidal wetlands, storm drainage systems, and neglected containers around residential properties. The region’s humid climate and abundant water sources create ideal conditions for rapid mosquito development from April through October.
Our mosquito control in Temple Hills strategy addresses these specific regional challenges. We focus treatments on the transition areas between maintained landscapes and natural vegetation where mosquitoes typically rest and breed most successfully.
Our comprehensive control service in Temple Hills follows a systematic five-step approach. Step one involves a detailed inspection of your property perimeter, landscaping, and potential breeding areas to identify current mosquito activity levels.
Step two focuses on source reduction education. We advise homeowners on eliminating standing water sources and maintaining landscapes to reduce mosquito breeding opportunities. This preventive approach enhances the effectiveness of our chemical treatments.
Steps three and four involve targeted mosquito treatment applications to vegetation, under decks, and along shrub lines. We create a growth regulator barrier around your yard protection perimeter that disrupts the mosquito lifecycle for weeks after application.
Step five includes post-treatment monitoring and our unlimited callback promise. If mosquito activity returns between scheduled visits, we’ll retreat the affected areas at no additional cost until you’re satisfied with the results.
Our mosquito control process emphasizes thorough inspection, precise application, continuous monitoring, and retreatment as needed. Each mosquito treatment builds on the previous service to create lasting protection.
Licensed technicians document treatment areas and monitor effectiveness throughout the season. This systematic approach ensures consistent results and allows for adjustments based on local pest activity patterns.
Seasonal mosquito control in Temple Hills begins with baseline treatments in early spring before populations peak. Our mosquito control services typically run from April through October, with treatments scheduled monthly during peak activity periods.
Summer represents the most intensive period for mosquito activity when warm temperatures accelerate breeding cycles. During these months, we focus on maintaining protective barriers and addressing new breeding sites that develop after rainfall.
Fall treatments help reduce overwintering larvae populations and break the cycle for the following year. We adapt our scheduling based on weather patterns and local mosquito counts to prevent mosquito populations from establishing strong footholds around your property.
Our treatments use low-impact products like Essentria and In2Care systems that have passed through our internal research team’s rigorous review. We’ve eliminated 9 harsh chemicals commonly used in the industry, choosing alternatives we’d feel comfortable using in our own homes. All products are EPA-approved and selected based on extensive research into their environmental profiles.
Mosquito control typically requires monthly treatments during peak season from April through October. Our control services provide protection that lasts 3-4 weeks between applications. Additionally, our unlimited callback policy means we’ll return between scheduled visits if you experience renewed mosquito activity at no extra charge.
We target Culex, Aedes, and Anopheles species common to MD. Our treatments are especially effective against Aedes mosquitoes that can carry Zika virus, dengue, and West Nile virus. Each species has different breeding preferences and behavior patterns that our licensed technicians account for during treatment planning.
Early spring represents the optimal time to begin mosquito control before breeding cycles accelerate. Starting treatments in March or April provides preemptive protection that prevents populations from establishing strong footholds around your property. This proactive approach to mosquito control delivers better results than waiting until problems become severe.
In2Care stations contain larvicide and mosquito-specific fungus on treated gauze strips. Mosquitoes enter the stations, become contaminated, and carry these materials to breeding sites where they spread throughout the population. This creates long-term lifecycle disruption that continues working between our regular service visits.
Our rapid response team can typically schedule emergency treatments within 24-48 hours of your call. Emergency services are backed by our unlimited callback promise, ensuring we’ll continue treating until mosquito activity returns to acceptable levels at no additional cost.
Treatment areas include shrub lines, under decks, patio perimeters, yard edges, and shaded vegetation where mosquitoes rest. We focus on the transition zones between maintained landscapes and natural areas where mosquito activity typically concentrates during daylight hours.
Pricing varies based on lot size, vegetation density, and current mosquito activity levels. Most residential properties range from $39-89 per monthly treatment. Bundle savings are available when combining mosquito control with tick control or other pest control services.
Professional mosquito treatment significantly reduces bites, lowers disease transmission risks, and extends your outdoor enjoyment throughout the season. The investment pays for itself through increased property use and peace of mind knowing your family can enjoy outdoor activities without constant pest harassment. Nothing can eliminate every mosquito, but our comprehensive approach delivers substantial population reduction that makes a noticeable difference in your outdoor comfort.
