Mosquito Control Services
Mosquitoes are more than just a summer nuisance — they can ruin outdoor enjoyment, disrupt sleep, and in some cases, transmit serious diseases like West Nile virus. In Ontario, mosquito populations surge during warm, humid months and breed in standing water around homes and businesses. Effective mosquito control combines source reduction, treatment of breeding sites, and residual applications for long-term relief.
Northern House Mosquito
Light brown with pale banded legs and body. Breeds in stagnant water like birdbaths, clogged gutters, and storm drains. Most active at dusk and night. Known to carry West Nile virus. Larvicide in breeding sites and dusk-time misting are key control methods.
Eastern Treehole Mosquito
Dark-colored with silver markings. Breeds in tree holes, tires, and other containers that collect rainwater. Active during the day. Can transmit La Crosse encephalitis. Control includes emptying water-holding containers and treating natural breeding cavities.
Floodwater Mosquitoes
Aggressive daytime biters. Hatch after heavy rains or flooding in low-lying areas and ditches. While not strong disease vectors, they bite in swarms. Source reduction and larvicide applications are essential after storms.
