Hear from Our Customers
You step outside for morning coffee without grabbing the bug spray first. Your kids play in the backyard until sunset instead of running inside covered in bites. Weekend barbecues happen on your schedule, not when the mosquitoes decide to take a break.
That’s what happens when you get real mosquito control – not the temporary fixes that wear off after the first rain, but professional treatment that creates an actual barrier around your property. You stop planning your outdoor time around peak mosquito hours and start living like you own the place.
The difference isn’t just fewer mosquitoes. It’s peace of mind knowing your family isn’t constantly exposed to West Nile virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and the other diseases these pests carry throughout Michigan’s extended mosquito season.
We’ve been protecting Vernon families since 2005. Roger, with 26 years in the industry, built our company on a simple principle: treat every customer like family and keep the same technician coming to your property year after year.
We’re not the guys who send different college students to your house every month. Our technicians have integrated pest management training, and we’ve earned recognition from Angie’s List and Home Advisor for a reason. When you call us, you’re getting two decades of experience dealing specifically with Michigan’s mosquito problems.
Vernon’s location in southeast Michigan means we understand exactly what you’re dealing with – from the early spring emergence that’s happening a month sooner due to climate change, to the summer breeding cycles in every rain bucket and clogged gutter around your property.
First, we inspect your property to identify breeding sites and mosquito hotspots. This isn’t a quick walk-around – we’re looking for the standing water sources, vegetation patterns, and microclimates where mosquitoes actually live and reproduce.
Then we create a treatment plan specific to your property. Not every yard is the same, and cookie-cutter approaches don’t work. We target the areas where adult mosquitoes rest during the day and apply larvicides to stop the next generation from developing.
Our treatments create a barrier that lasts for weeks, not days. We time follow-up visits based on the mosquito life cycle – typically every 21 days during peak season – to break the breeding pattern before populations can rebuild. You’ll notice the difference within 48 hours of the first treatment.

Your mosquito control program includes flea and tick treatment at no extra charge. While we’re eliminating mosquitoes, we’re also protecting your family and pets from the ticks that carry Lyme disease throughout Michigan’s wooded areas.
We use integrated pest management techniques that target mosquitoes without harming beneficial insects like pollinators. Our treatments focus on the shaded areas where mosquitoes actually rest – under decks, around foundation plantings, and in dense vegetation – rather than blanket spraying your entire property.
Vernon’s proximity to permanent water sources and the area’s increasing rainfall patterns create ideal mosquito breeding conditions. Our local experience means we know which species you’re dealing with and exactly when they’ll be most active. We adjust treatment timing based on Vernon’s specific climate patterns, not some generic calendar from a national company.
Professional mosquito control in Vernon typically ranges from $350 to $600 per season, depending on your property size and treatment frequency. Most programs include 4-6 treatments spaced about 21 days apart during Michigan’s mosquito season, which runs from April through October.
We offer price matching for reasonable competitors’ rates, plus discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. The investment makes sense when you consider the alternative – constantly buying repellent, avoiding your own yard, and worrying about mosquito-borne diseases that are increasingly common in Michigan.
Early spring bookings often save 20-30% compared to peak summer pricing, so scheduling your program in March or April typically offers the best value.
Michigan’s mosquito season now runs from April through October, but climate change has extended the active period on both ends. We’re seeing mosquitoes emerge about a month earlier than they used to, sometimes as early as March during warm years.
Peak activity happens during July and August when heat and humidity create perfect breeding conditions. However, the most important time for treatment is actually early spring – April and May – when we can eliminate the first generation before populations explode.
Different mosquito species are active at different times. Floodwater mosquitoes emerge after heavy rains throughout the season, while container-breeding species like the Asian tiger mosquito can produce multiple generations from spring through fall.
Michigan mosquitoes carry several serious diseases, with West Nile virus being the most common. We also see Eastern Equine Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, and viruses in the California Group of encephalitis. These aren’t theoretical risks – they’ve caused over 100 hospitalizations and several deaths in Michigan in recent years.
Eastern Equine Encephalitis is particularly dangerous, with about 30% of infected people dying and many survivors suffering permanent neurological damage. Even “minor” mosquito-borne illnesses can cause high fever, severe headaches, and body aches that last for weeks.
The risk isn’t just to humans. These viruses have killed over 200 horses in Michigan, and they can affect dogs and other pets as well. Professional mosquito control isn’t just about comfort – it’s about protecting your family’s health.
Our mosquito treatments typically last 3-4 weeks under normal conditions. The exact duration depends on weather, rainfall, and mosquito pressure in your specific area of Vernon.
Heavy rains don’t wash away the treatment once it’s dried, but they can create new breeding sites that weren’t there before. That’s why we schedule treatments every 21 days during peak season – to stay ahead of the mosquito breeding cycle rather than just reacting to population spikes.
You’ll usually notice a significant reduction in mosquito activity within 24-48 hours of treatment. The barrier effect continues working even when you don’t see immediate results, preventing new mosquitoes from establishing themselves in your treated areas.
Yes, our mosquito control program includes flea and tick treatment at no additional charge. This is especially important in Vernon because Michigan’s tick populations carry Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other serious illnesses.
Ticks and mosquitoes often inhabit similar areas around your property – shaded spots with vegetation, areas near water sources, and transition zones between lawn and wooded areas. Treating both pests simultaneously is more effective and cost-efficient than separate programs.
Our integrated approach targets both adult ticks and different life stages, breaking the breeding cycle just like we do with mosquitoes. This comprehensive treatment gives you broader protection for the same investment.
We’ve been protecting Vernon families for 20 years, and Roger brings 26 years of pest control experience specifically to Michigan conditions. National companies rotate technicians and use generic treatment schedules that don’t account for Vernon’s unique climate and mosquito species.
You get the same trained technician every visit – not part-time college students or whoever happens to be available. We personalize your treatment program based on your property’s specific breeding sites and mosquito pressure, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We also offer services most companies don’t, like canine bed bug detection – we’re one of fewer than 100 companies in the U.S. with this capability. Plus we provide price matching, local accountability, and discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders because we’re part of this community.
