Reclaim Your Summer Evenings

You know that feeling when you step outside and immediately get swarmed. When your kids can’t play in the backyard without coming in covered in bites. When that deck you built sits empty because mosquitoes have claimed it as their territory.

That stops here. Professional mosquito control means you get to use your outdoor space again. Your family barbecues don’t turn into slapping contests. Your evening walks become enjoyable instead of endurance tests.

The difference is real protection that lasts weeks, not hours. You’re not just buying temporary relief – you’re investing in a summer where your yard belongs to you again.

Shiawassee County Mosquito Control Company

Twenty Years Protecting Local Families

We’ve been serving Shiawassee County 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 trained technician every visit. Not a rotating cast of part-time college students who don’t know your property or your specific mosquito challenges.

Michigan’s mosquito season hits hard from late spring through early fall. We know which species are active when, where they breed around your property, and how to break their reproduction cycles before they make your life miserable.

Mosquito Treatment Process

How We Eliminate Your Mosquito Problem

First, we inspect your property to identify breeding sites and problem areas. Standing water in gutters, flower pot saucers, low spots in your yard – these are mosquito nurseries that most homeowners miss.

Next, we treat both the adults and the larvae. Our barrier treatment creates a protective zone around your outdoor living spaces while targeting the vegetation where mosquitoes rest during the day. We also treat breeding areas to stop the next generation before they hatch.

The treatment lasts up to 21 days and eliminates 85-90% of mosquitoes on your property. You’ll notice the difference within 24 hours, and it keeps working even after rain. Your technician monitors results and adjusts the approach based on what’s working best for your specific situation.

Mosquito Abatement Shiawassee County

What's Included in Your Service

Your mosquito control program includes comprehensive treatment of breeding areas, barrier protection around your property, and ongoing monitoring throughout the season. We target both adult mosquitoes and larvae to break the reproduction cycle completely.

Here in Shiawassee County, we’re dealing with multiple mosquito species that peak at different times. Some carry West Nile virus, which has been detected in Michigan every summer since 2002. Our treatment approach accounts for these local disease risks and seasonal patterns.

Your service also includes flea and tick treatment at no additional charge. Since these pests often share the same outdoor habitats as mosquitoes, combining treatments provides better protection for your family and pets while delivering more value for your investment.

Our barrier treatment provides protection for up to 21 days, even with Michigan’s unpredictable weather patterns. The treatment uses a specialized formula that bonds to vegetation and surfaces, so it doesn’t wash away with rain or break down quickly in sunlight.

However, treatment longevity depends on several factors specific to your property. Heavy rains, irrigation systems, and the amount of vegetation can all affect how long protection lasts. Your technician monitors these conditions and adjusts the treatment schedule accordingly.

Most Shiawassee County properties do well with treatments every 3-4 weeks during peak mosquito season, which typically runs from late May through September. We’ll recommend the ideal schedule for your specific situation after evaluating your property and mosquito pressure.

Yes, we use integrated pest management techniques that prioritize the safest effective methods for your family and pets. Our products are EPA-registered and applied according to strict label guidelines by trained, licensed technicians.

Most treatments allow children and pets to return to treated areas within a few hours of application. We’ll provide specific guidance based on the products used and weather conditions on treatment day. Many families choose to keep pets indoors during application as an extra precaution, though it’s not always necessary.

We also offer eco-friendly treatment options made from essential oils for families who prefer natural solutions. These botanical-based products provide effective mosquito control while being gentler on the environment, though they may not last quite as long as traditional treatments.

West Nile virus is the primary concern in our area, with cases detected in Michigan every summer since 2002. As of 2024, Michigan has reported multiple human and animal cases, with peak risk occurring from late July through September when mosquito populations are highest.

Eastern Equine Encephalitis is less common but more serious when it occurs. Both diseases are transmitted through mosquito bites, making professional mosquito control an important health protection measure for your family.

Most people infected with West Nile virus don’t develop symptoms, but about 20% experience fever, headache, and body aches. Severe cases can cause brain inflammation, particularly in people over 50. Professional mosquito control significantly reduces your family’s exposure risk by eliminating the mosquitoes that carry these diseases.

The ideal time to begin mosquito control in Shiawassee County is late May or early June, before mosquito populations peak. Starting early allows us to target the first generation of mosquitoes and prevent population explosions later in the season.

Michigan’s mosquito season typically runs from late spring through early fall, with peak activity during July and August. However, warm spring weather can bring mosquitoes out earlier, while mild fall temperatures can extend the season into October.

Your technician will recommend the best start date based on current weather patterns and mosquito activity in your specific area. Starting proactively is always more effective and less expensive than waiting until mosquitoes become unbearable and trying to catch up with an established population.

We target both adult mosquitoes and their breeding sites for complete control. Adult-only treatments provide temporary relief but don’t stop the next generation from hatching, which means you’re constantly fighting new mosquitoes every few days.

Our comprehensive approach includes identifying and treating standing water sources where mosquitoes lay eggs – places like clogged gutters, flower pot saucers, low spots in your yard, and areas around air conditioning units. We also apply barrier treatments to vegetation where adult mosquitoes rest during the day.

This dual approach breaks the mosquito reproduction cycle and provides longer-lasting protection. You’re not just getting relief from current mosquitoes – you’re preventing future generations from taking over your outdoor space. That’s why our treatments remain effective for weeks rather than days.

You’ll typically notice a significant reduction in mosquito activity within 24 hours of treatment. The barrier spray kills mosquitoes on contact while continuing to eliminate new ones that enter the treated area for weeks afterward.

Complete results develop over the first few days as the treatment reaches its full effectiveness. Mosquitoes that weren’t directly contacted during application will be eliminated as they land on treated surfaces or encounter the barrier protection around your property.

Weather conditions can affect how quickly you see results. Calm, dry conditions allow for optimal application and faster results, while windy or rainy weather immediately after treatment might slow the initial impact. Your technician will let you know what to expect based on conditions during your specific treatment.
