Mosquitoes · Atlanta, GA

Mosquito control built around Atlanta’s daytime biter

The Asian tiger mosquito breeds in tiny pockets of water, often in your own yard, and bites during the day. Good mosquito control starts with finding that water.

Call if you notice:

  • Mosquitoes bite you in the yard during the day
  • You have shaded beds, gutters or water features
  • Yard time is unbearable from spring to fall

Know your mosquito

Georgia has about 60 mosquito species (GA DPH). In intown yards, the one people notice most is the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus: black with bright white leg bands, a daytime biter, and a container breeder. Georgia DPH lists it among the state's most important vector species alongside Culex quinquefasciatus, the evening-biting house mosquito that breeds in organic-rich standing water such as storm drains and neglected pools.

An integrated mosquito program

  1. Source survey

    Walk the property for water-holding items: plant saucers, buckets, tarps, toys, clogged gutters, corrugated downspout extensions, tree holes, birdbaths, AC condensate lines. See the full breeding-site list.

  2. Source reduction

    Tip, toss, cover or drain. The CDC recommends emptying and scrubbing, turning over, covering or throwing out water-holding items once a week.

  3. Larval control

    Where water cannot be removed (ornamental ponds, drains), labeled larvicides can be used.

  4. Targeted adult treatments

    Labeled residual applications to shaded resting sites such as shrubs, under decks and dense groundcover, applied away from blooming plants to protect pollinators.

  5. Seasonal follow-up

    Repeat visits through the warm season, with source checks each time.

Weekly yard checklist

  • Empty and scrub plant saucers, pet bowls and birdbaths.
  • Flip kayaks, wheelbarrows, kiddie pools and buckets.
  • Clear gutters and check downspout extensions for trapped water.
  • Pull tarps tight or remove them; they hold pockets of water.
  • Drill drain holes in tire swings and recycling bins.
  • Screen rain barrels or keep them tightly covered.

What affects mosquito-program cost

We don’t publish prices before an inspection. These factors determine the scope of work:

  • Yard size and density of vegetation
  • Number of breeding sources and water features
  • Visit frequency across the season
  • Event treatments vs. season-long programs

How it works

  1. Call

    Tell us what you’re seeing, where, and for how long. Photos help.

  2. Inspection

    A technician checks the house, crawl space or basement, attic access and yard, and finds the source, not just the symptoms.

  3. Your plan

    You get the treatment options that fit your home, what each involves, and the factors that set the cost, before any work starts.

  4. Treatment & follow-up

    Targeted treatment, practical fixes you can make, and follow-up visits where the pest needs them.

Frequently asked questions

When is mosquito season in Atlanta?

Activity usually builds in spring as temperatures rise and continues until cold weather in fall. See our Atlanta mosquito season guide.

Will spraying alone fix my mosquito problem?

Usually not. Container breeders like the Asian tiger mosquito can re-emerge from a single neglected saucer or gutter. The CDC notes that indoor insecticides alone won’t keep a home mosquito-free.

Are mosquito treatments safe for pollinators?

Responsible applicators follow the label, avoid blooming plants, and focus on resting sites. Ask your provider which products and practices they use.
