How much does mosquito control cost?

Many mosquito control services use a combination of treatment methods to attack the mosquitos at all stages of their life cycle.
Terminix costs$150 to $300 for mosquito treatment. Orkin charges$30 to $100 per month for mosquito control as an add-on to existing pest control services.
What does mosquito control service involve?
Mosquito control service typically includes an initial inspection of the property to identify the specific areas mosquitos are breeding. A trained technician may use one or several treatment methods, such as aerial spraying or dusting to kill mosquitos, eggs, and larvae, and using larvicides in any standing water that cannot be removed. Follow-up treatments occur every 21 to 30 days during peak mosquito season.
How long does mosquito treatment last?
Mosquito treatments last 3 to 4 weeks on average. The length of effectiveness depends on the level of infestation, your local climate, and the type of treatment applied. Synthetic treatments typically lasts longer than others.
Rain does not affect mosquito treatments, provided the treatment has time to dry. Treatment drying time ranges from 20 minutes to 1+ hours.
When is mosquito season?
Mosquito season runs from April to October in most regions. Southern states experience a longer mosquito season that typically starts in March and ends as late as November. The best time to start mosquito control service is in the early spring just before the mosquito season starts.
Are mosquito yard treatments safe?
Yes, most mosquito control products applied by a trained professional are safe for humans and pets. These pesticides are typically applied to targeted areas, in low concentrations, and dry very quickly. Still, people with extreme chemical sensitivities should err on the side of caution and stay out of the area during treatment.
