Below you’ll find a list of the typical environments that foster breeding for mosquitoes in the South Shore and Cape Cod area.

  • cape cod homes

    Suburban Areas Near the Water

    Features: Wooded lots, overgrown vegetation, and standing water (ponds, ditches, or temporary floodwaters).

    Why It Matters: These areas provide ideal mosquito breeding sites and shelter from wind and predators. Species Impacted:

    Aedes vexans (Inland Floodwater Mosquito): Utilizes temporary pools created by heavy rains or flooding.

    Culex pipiens (Northern House Mosquito): Prefers stagnant water commonly found in ditches or containers.

  • Tick control in wooded areas

    Parks, Hiking Trails, and Forested Areas

    Features: Shaded areas, high humidity, and nearby water bodies create prime mosquito habitats.

    Why It Matters: Outdoor enthusiasts are often exposed to biting mosquitoes during dawn and dusk, peak feeding times for many species.

    Residential Yards with Dense Landscaping

    Features: Shrubs, bushes, and gardens that retain moisture, as well as ornamental ponds, birdbaths, and gutters that collect water.

    Why It Matters: Residential yards often provide sheltered breeding sites close to human hosts, increasing the risk of mosquito-human contact.

    Species Impacted:

    Aedes japonicus (Asian Bush Mosquito): Breeds in small, water-filled containers like flower pots and birdbaths.

    Culex pipiens: Commonly found in urban and suburban areas.

    The coastal climate of Cape Cod features warm summers with high humidity, creating favorable conditions for mosquito survival and reproduction.

  • dense vegetation

    Dense Vegetation

    Cape Cod Mosquito Control: What You Need to Know

    How does Cape Cod's weather affect mosquito control treatments?
    Cape Cod’s warm, humid climate and frequent storms create ideal conditions for mosquitoes. Our treatments are formulated to withstand these weather patterns, providing lasting protection even after heavy rain.
    Are your mosquito treatments all-natural?
    Yes! We use a proprietary formula made from all-natural ingredients that eliminates mosquitoes but maintains the wonderful ecosystem of your yard.
    Common reasons customers need this service?
    They want to enjoy their backyards, their pools and not have to spray down their kids with bug spray. They want to try and keep their children & pets from being exposed to harmful diseases that mosquitoes & ticks carry and can transmit.
    Why are mosquitoes more of a problem in Cape Cod?
    There are a lot of marsh areas and wetlands in many of the towns. Often EEE and West Nile are found in late summer in some of our towns
    Does the treatment work on all mosquito species found in Cape Cod?
    Yes, our mosquito control solutions are designed to be effective across various species common in Cape Cod, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
    How soon can I see a reduction in mosquitoes after the treatment?
    Almost immediately you could notice a reduction, but most likely within the first 24 hours, as treatments often stir up mosquitoes until they die.
    What should I do if it rains shortly after a treatment?
    Cape Cod’s frequent rain won’t significantly impact the effectiveness of our mosquito control. Our formula includes weather-resistant properties, allowing it to remain effective even after rainfall.
    What about my children and pets?
    Pets and children should be inside during each application. However, they can re-enter the property once the product has dried, roughly 10-15 minutes. At that point, there are no restrictions until the next application.
    Will this service harm the bee population?
    We do not directly spray hives to not harm the bees and the amount of product applied in a mist fashion is not usually enough to impact a larger bug like a bee.
    Will it kill ALL the mosquitoes?
    Nothing is 100% effective as mosquitoes can fly in from neighbors or other areas that are not treated. Usually it will kill 90+% of mosquitoes on a property.
    What are the best times of year to start and stop service for your area?
    The best time of year to start is late April/early May as the treatments become more effective after each application and it is important to break the breeding cycle before mosquitoes get too established. We typically stop service mid-October as that is when temperatures drop, and we often get our first frost.
    Why do I see more mosquitoes after rainstorms?
    Rainstorms in Cape Cod often create standing water, which provides an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. Our treatments target these areas to reduce mosquito populations effectively.
