What is the most effective mosquito control?

Terminix professionals know how to get rid of mosquitoes because they understand the conditions that attract and breed them, and use the best products available in the industry to get rid of them. For effective mosquito control, Terminix will partner with you to point out problem areas to watch out for in between services.

How do you get rid of mosquitoes in your yard?

In addition to treating your yard for mosquitoes, taking preventive measures is important to help keep mosquitoes out of your yard. Mosquitoes can lay an average of 100 eggs in a container the size of a bottle cap, so it's important to eliminate areas of standing water and other breeding sites around your home. In addition to service treatments, your Terminix professional will provide tips to address problem areas in your yard for effective mosquito control.

Can you DIY mosquito control?

There is little scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of DIY mosquito control methods like citronella candles, dryer sheets and essential oils. It's important that mosquito treatment is applied correctly, following all instructions on product labels. Terminix mosquito control professionals are knowledgeable in terms of the most effective treatment methods and their proper application. Don't leave your mosquito problem up to chance with potentially ineffective DIY treatments. Trust the professionals instead.

Here’s what our mosquito control customers say:

"Excellent follow through"

“Very professional. Used a different company before which had poor service when compared to Terminix. I use them now for mosquito spray, quarterly pest control and their termite service. All good with very professional and courteous people. They also alert you via text to let you know when service is going to be provided and when they are on the way. They also follow up with any concerns I may have. Excellent follow through.”

"The service has been great and the pests are under control"

"We used Terminix when we lived in OKC for years. When we recently moved to our current location, we searched for Terminix because of an infestation of ticks and mosquitoes and spiders. The service has been great and the pests are under control. The service techs are polite and professional.”

Frequently asked mosquito control questions

Can Terminix help with my mosquito problem?

Yes. We have a mosquito control service that begins working immediately and protects for weeks (not available in all areas). Terminix specialists use advanced methods that don't just repel mosquitoes, but kill them, allowing you to enjoy your backyard and warmer weather without these winged nuisances disrupting your fun.

How often will I need mosquito control?

We do offer a one-time service. However, to keep mosquito activity down all season long, we will need to treat your yard regularly during mosquito season in your area.

How does mosquito treatment work?

During your initial mosquito treatment, we will conduct a thorough inspection around the perimeter of your home. Then, we will develop a customized mosquito treatment based on our findings and the layout of your property. We will apply a liquid treatment on shrubs and greenery (avoiding pollinating flowers for the protection of active pollinators like bees) to help keep mosquitoes away. Our treatment eliminates mosquitoes on contact and creates a zone of protection that lasts for weeks. We then come back for regular service during mosquito season to inspect and treat your property. In the unlikely event that mosquitoes do come back in between treatments, we will come back to retreat – at no additional cost to you.

I’m having an outdoor wedding at a venue, can Terminix spray there prior to the event?

Congratulations! We'd be honored to help keep your special day protected from mosquitoes. All we need for you to do is pass our information to the venue director and we can discuss the best time to provide mosquito treatment for their outdoor space.

What's my next step to exterminate mosquitoes?

Don't waste the precious days of summer worrying about mosquito bites. Call the mosquito control specialists at Terminix to schedule a free inspection. From there, we'll work with you to develop a customized treatment plan to keep mosquitoes away.
