Mosquito Control

Mosquitoes are more than just a summer nuisance—they’re dangerous disease carriers that thrive in Tennessee’s warm, humid climate. They make outdoor spaces unbearable, and their bites can transmit West Nile virus, Zika virus, and other serious illnesses.

At McMinn Vermin Pro, we provide targeted mosquito control solutions that eliminate breeding grounds, reduce adult mosquito populations, and keep your yard enjoyable all season long. Stop swatting and start living mosquito-free today!

Our Mosquito Inspection Process

Our licensed mosquito control experts thoroughly assess your property to pinpoint problem areas and determine the best treatment strategy.

🔍 Standing Water Inspection – We check birdbaths, gutters, ponds, planters, and anywhere water collects.
🔍 Vegetation & Shade Analysis – Mosquitoes rest in thick foliage, under decks, and near damp areas.
🔍 Breeding Site Identification – We locate hidden areas where mosquitoes lay eggs.
🔍 Activity Level Assessment – Evaluating peak mosquito hours and infestation severity.

This detailed inspection allows us to target the root cause of your mosquito problem, not just eliminate the adults.

Our Mosquito Treatment Process

Our mosquito control program includes a multi-step approach designed for long-lasting relief:

Larvicide Treatment – We treat standing water sources with eco-friendly larvicides to stop mosquito eggs from hatching.
Adulticide Fogging – We apply a professional-grade fogging treatment to eliminate adult mosquitoes in shaded resting areas.
Barrier Protection – A residual insecticide treatment around your yard creates a protective zone that repels mosquitoes for weeks.
In2Care Mosquito Traps (Optional) – A cutting-edge, eco-friendly trap that attracts mosquitoes, contaminates them, and prevents future infestations.

Our mosquito treatments provide protection for up to 30 days per application, depending on weather conditions.

What You Can Do Before We Arrive for Mosquito Treatment

Preparing your property ensures that our mosquito treatment is as effective as possible.

  • Eliminate standing water – Dump out containers, unclog gutters, and refresh pet water bowls daily.
  • Trim overgrown vegetation – Keep grass, shrubs, and hedges well-maintained to reduce resting areas.
  • Turn off sprinklers – Avoid watering your lawn before treatment, as dry surfaces help the solution adhere.
  • Keep pets indoors – Ensure dogs, cats, and other pets are inside while we treat your yard.

A few simple steps can make a big difference in maximizing mosquito control effectiveness.
