WHY CONTROL MOSQUITOES?
In Iowa, warm and damp summer conditions create the perfect environment for mosquitoes to thrive. If you’re swatting at mosquitoes or dealing with itchy bites, it’s more than just a nuisance.
These pests can transmit harmful diseases that put both your family and pets at risk. Early mosquito pest control is essential to protect your home and outdoor spaces from the growing mosquito population and the health risks they bring.
1. Target Hard-to-Reach Areas
Mosquitoes often hide and breed in places that are difficult to spot, like gutters or dense vegetation. Professional mosquito control addresses these hidden areas to effectively reduce the population.
2. Improve Outdoor Comfort
Mosquito treatments not only reduce the mosquito population but also make your yard more enjoyable, allowing you to entertain, garden, or relax without constant swatting.
3. Create a Healthier Environment
By controlling mosquitoes, you create a safer, healthier space for both your family and pets. It’s not just about preventing bites; it’s about reducing exposure to disease.

Tips for Mosquito Prevention:
Once your yard has been treated, take these proactive steps to maintain a mosquito-free environment:
- 1
Eliminate Water Sources: Remove standing water from containers like plant saucers, toys, or anything that collects water, as these are ideal mosquito breeding sites.
- 2
Trim Overgrown Vegetation: Keep your yard tidy by trimming plants and removing debris to reduce mosquito hiding places in dense or damp areas.
- 3
Use Personal Protection: Apply a DEET-based repellent and wear long sleeves and pants during peak mosquito activity hours to protect yourself outdoors.
- 4
Check Window and Door Screens: Make sure all your window and door screens are intact, as damaged screens provide easy entry points for mosquitoes.

HOW TO SPOT MOSQUITO ACTIVITY
Spotting mosquitoes early helps prevent larger infestations. Here are some key signs to watch for:
1. Larvae in Hidden Water Sources
Mosquito larvae, or “wigglers,” thrive in stagnant water. Check areas like under-deck puddles, tree holes, or small crevices where water collects and might go unnoticed.
2. Increased Pet Scratching
If your pets seem to be scratching more than usual, especially when they come indoors, mosquitoes may be present, as they often bite animals before humans.
3. Swarms in Shaded Areas
Mosquitoes often gather in cooler, shaded spots during the day, such as under bushes or trees. Watch for clusters in these areas.
