You shouldn’t have to sprint from your car to your front door. Or cancel backyard gatherings because the mosquitoes are unbearable. When mosquito control works, your evenings on the deck become relaxing again instead of a battle against swarms of biting insects.
Michigan’s mosquito season can stretch from spring through fall, and Otisville’s location near flood plains and wooded areas creates perfect breeding conditions for multiple species. Professional treatment breaks the breeding cycle and creates barriers that keep new populations from establishing in your yard.
The difference is immediate and lasting. Families can eat dinner outside without constantly swatting. Kids can play in the yard without coming inside covered in bites. Your outdoor investment actually becomes usable space instead of decoration you can only admire from inside.
We’ve been serving Otisville and surrounding areas since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things differently than the big chains.
You get the same experienced technician every visit. No rotating cast of part-time college students who don’t know your property or your specific mosquito challenges. Your technician learns where mosquitoes breed on your property and adjusts treatments based on what works best for your situation.
We’ve earned awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor because consistent results matter more than flashy marketing. Otisville residents deal with unique mosquito pressures from seasonal flooding and wooded areas, and we understand exactly how to target the species that cause problems in this area.
First, we inspect your entire property to identify current mosquito activity and breeding sites. Standing water sources, vegetation where adults rest, and areas with the right conditions for egg-laying all get documented and targeted.
Next, we apply treatments that work on multiple levels. Breeding sites get treated to eliminate larvae before they become biting adults. Vegetation where mosquitoes rest during the day gets barrier protection that kills them on contact. Areas around patios, decks, and outdoor living spaces get priority treatment.
The program continues throughout mosquito season with regular applications timed to mosquito lifecycle patterns. We’re not just spraying and hoping – we’re disrupting breeding cycles and targeting the specific species most active in your area during each part of the season. Most treatments provide 4-6 weeks of protection, and we include flea and tick control at no extra charge since these pests often share the same outdoor habitats.

Our mosquito control program targets both adult mosquitoes and larvae to break the reproduction cycle completely. Treatment includes standing water sources where mosquitoes breed, vegetation where they rest, and barrier protection around your outdoor living spaces.
Otisville’s location creates ideal conditions for multiple mosquito species. The flood plains and ditches provide breeding sites for floodwater mosquitoes like Aedes vexans, while wooded areas harbor species that can carry serious diseases. Michigan is home to nearly 60 mosquito species, and several found in this area are known vectors for West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
Your service automatically includes flea and tick treatment because these pests often share similar habitats and treatment methods. Why pay extra for separate services when one comprehensive approach protects your family and pets from multiple biting pests? All applications use EPA-registered products that are safe for children and pets, with only 1-2 hours needed before you can resume outdoor activities.
Most professional mosquito treatments provide 4-6 weeks of protection under normal conditions. However, heavy rainfall can reduce effectiveness since it washes away residual treatments and creates new breeding sites.
Michigan’s unpredictable weather patterns mean timing matters. We schedule treatments based on mosquito lifecycle patterns and local weather conditions, not just calendar dates. If you experience breakthrough activity before your next scheduled visit, we’ll come back at no charge to assess and re-treat if needed.
The key is consistent, season-long protection rather than one-time applications. Mosquitoes produce multiple generations during warm weather, so stopping just one generation isn’t enough. Our program targets each generation throughout the season for cumulative population reduction.
Otisville deals with several problematic mosquito species due to its location near flood plains and wooded areas. Aedes vexans, known as the floodwater mosquito, breeds in temporarily flooded areas and can disperse far from breeding sites to become a nuisance.
The area also sees Psorophora ciliata, Michigan’s largest mosquito species called the gallinipper, which breeds in flood waters and delivers particularly painful bites. Culex species that prefer polluted water sources can be found in catch basins and storm drains, and these are known carriers of West Nile virus.
Different species are active at different times of year and prefer different breeding conditions. Spring species develop in snowmelt pools, while summer species take advantage of any standing water from rainfall. Professional treatment targets the specific species most active in your area during each season rather than using generic approaches.
Yes, we use EPA-registered products specifically approved for mosquito treatments around homes with families and pets. All applications are applied by trained technicians who understand proper application techniques and safety protocols.
Most treatments allow children and pets to return to treated areas within 1-2 hours after application. We use integrated pest management principles that prioritize the safest effective methods, including targeted applications and baits rather than broad-spectrum spraying whenever possible.
We also offer eco-friendly treatment options for families who prefer botanical-based or low-toxicity solutions. These products are derived from natural sources but still provide effective mosquito control. Your technician will explain what products we’re using, where we’re applying them, and any precautions you should take.
Mosquito control typically begins in mid to late April in Michigan, depending on weather conditions. However, timing depends more on temperature patterns than calendar dates since mosquito activity is driven by heat and moisture availability.
Spring treatments target overwintering mosquito eggs and early-season breeding sites before populations explode. Getting ahead of the breeding cycle is much more effective than trying to control established populations during peak season.
We monitor local weather patterns and mosquito activity levels to determine optimal timing for your first treatment. Starting too early wastes money on treatments that won’t be effective, but waiting too long means dealing with established populations that are harder to control. Your technician will recommend the best schedule based on current conditions and your property’s specific risk factors.
Yes, if pests break through between scheduled treatments, we return at no charge to assess and re-treat if necessary. However, mosquito control success depends on multiple factors including weather conditions, breeding site elimination, and consistent treatment timing.
We don’t promise 100% elimination because that’s not realistic with mosquitoes. New populations can always move in from neighboring properties, and heavy rainfall creates new breeding opportunities. What we guarantee is significant population reduction that makes your outdoor space usable again.
Our goal is keeping mosquito populations below the nuisance threshold rather than complete elimination. Most customers see dramatic improvement within the first week of treatment, with continued reduction throughout the season. If you’re not seeing acceptable results, we’ll work with you to identify and address any factors that might be limiting effectiveness.
Our mosquito program includes treatment of breeding sites, barrier applications to vegetation where mosquitoes rest, and protection around outdoor living areas like patios and decks. We also include flea and tick control at no additional charge since these pests often share the same outdoor habitats.
Each visit includes inspection of your property for new breeding sites or conditions that might attract mosquitoes. Standing water sources get treated or recommendations made for elimination. High-activity areas get priority attention based on your family’s outdoor usage patterns.
You also get the same experienced technician for every visit, so treatments become more effective over time as your technician learns your property’s unique challenges. No binding contracts are required – you can adjust or cancel service based on results you can see. We also offer price matching if you find comparable service for less from a licensed competitor.
