Mosquito Control Strategies
Reclaim your backyard from biting mosquitoes. Learn the 3-step system of water elimination, landscaping maintenance, and professional barrier misting.
To keep mosquitoes out of your backyard year-round, combine three essential practices: eliminate standing water weekly (birdbaths, tarps, eavestroughs), trim dense perimeter foliage to reduce daytime shading, and apply monthly professional barrier treatments to resting foliage from May to September.
Mosquitoes only require a bottle cap of standing water to lay 100–300 eggs, which mature into biting adults in just 7–10 days. Managing moisture combined with resting foliage treatments yields 90%+ mosquito reduction.
Clean gutters, dump planter saucers, cycle birdbath water every 4 days, and treat French drains with Bti dunks.
Thin overgrown cedar hedges and prune low branches to allow sunlight and breeze to dry out ground moisture.
Professional misting on leaf undersides, fence perimeters, and under decks kills resting mosquitoes on contact.
Citronella candles only create a localized scent plume that shifts with the slightest breeze, leaving the rest of your patio exposed. YardShield™ creates an all-encompassing active barrier across your entire property perimeter.
