Mosquito Control

Enjoy your yard again.

Mosquitoes breed in standing water you can't always see, so spraying the air does little. Our 2-part approach targets where they breed and where they rest for fast, lasting relief.

Why You Have Mosquitoes

Water and shelter keep them around.

Standing water

Stagnant water is the number one cause. Gutters, drains, pet bowls, and hidden spots all become breeding grounds.

Shady, humid areas

Mosquitoes are weak fliers, so shaded, wind-protected spots give them a sheltered place to rest.

CO2 and animals

They're drawn to the carbon dioxide, heat, and scent from people and pets, so activity rises where you gather.

How RAYMAX Handles Mosquitoes

A 2-part approach, not just a fog.

01

Inspect for breeding sites

We hunt down the standing water and resting spots that keep mosquitoes coming back, even the hidden ones.

02

Treat where they breed

We address the source, not just the adults you swat, so the next generation never gets started.

03

Treat where they rest

Our 2-part method also targets the shaded, humid areas where adult mosquitoes shelter during the day.

04

Maintain and protect

Mosquito pressure returns with the seasons, so recurring service keeps your yard usable. If they return between visits, so do we, at no extra cost.

Why Do I Have Mosquitoes?

What draws them in, and why DIY falls short.

Mosquitoes are one of the hardest yard pests to control on your own. Tap any topic to learn more.

Standing water+

Stagnant standing water is the main reason you have mosquitoes, and a lot of it is out of your control thanks to location, neighbors, and nearby natural habitats. Even small hidden amounts are enough for them to breed.

Try this: Walk your yard and home for stagnant water and remove it. Check trees, gutters, drains and sinks, pet bowls, the fridge drip pan, the A/C, and any yard items that hide water.
Shady and humid areas+

While standing water has the biggest impact, humid or shady areas give mosquitoes an ideal place to rest. They're weak fliers, so spots with wind protection become a haven where they take shelter during the day.

Try this: If mosquitoes are gathering in one specific area, removing water and wind protection there can give you some relief.
Carbon dioxide and animals+

Mosquitoes are highly attracted to the carbon dioxide released by people and animals, so even an outdoor gathering can spike local activity. Pets and livestock give off the same attractants, so if you have outdoor pets or live near farms or wildlife, you may see more mosquitoes.

Try this: During high activity, tidy up inside and out, move pets indoors, and clear any blockage. An electric insect zapper running for a while can give some relief before you head back outside.
Can I do it myself?+

DIY mosquito control is tough because real management takes consistent, comprehensive effort. Mosquitoes breed in hidden or hard-to-reach spots like clogged gutters, dense foliage, and underground drains, so finding and eliminating every breeding site is nearly impossible for a homeowner. Over-the-counter sprays and traps usually give only temporary relief and may not even target your local species.

The RAYMAX edge: We use the most effective methods currently available. Our highly effective 2-part solution gives you fast relief so you can enjoy the outdoors again.
When to call a professional+

If you've spent more than $100 trying to DIY, you've already spent too much. Large or recurring problems usually mean mosquitoes have established breeding sites you haven't found. For prevention, a recurring plan is highly recommended to protect you through the season, and a professional can pinpoint why, when, and how they're thriving and solve it in one coordinated effort.

Common Questions

Answers before you even ask.

Why don't store sprays and candles work for long?+
They only knock down the adults near you for a short time and don't touch the breeding sites producing the next wave. Until the standing water and resting areas are addressed, mosquitoes keep coming back.
What is the 2-part solution?+
Our approach targets mosquitoes at both ends of their life: the breeding sites where larvae develop and the shaded, humid areas where adults rest. Hitting both is what gives fast relief that actually lasts.
Do I really need recurring service?+
Mosquito pressure returns with the warm season and from neighboring properties, so a recurring plan is what keeps your yard usable rather than treating once and watching them drift back.
Are treatments safe for my family and pets?+
Yes. We use targeted, responsibly applied treatments and focus them where mosquitoes breed and rest. Your technician will explain any short-term precautions around treated areas before they leave.
