Mosquito Control Alexandria

Alexandria is located just outside of Washington DC, and is a community full of professionals that commute into DC for their jobs. With a population of 115,810, the entire city covers about fifteen square miles and offers a unique environment of historic neighborhoods, such as the well-known city center known as Old Town that offers a variety of restaurants and shops that appeal to locals and is a popular tourist attraction. Alexandria homeowners enjoy the cool mild winters, and will cope with the hot humid summers that come with living in Northern Virginia. Alexandria is bordered by the Potomac River, and with the nearby river and wetlands, mosquitoes and other insects tend to thrive in the area. Spending time outside hosting a barbecue can be difficult if you are constantly worrying about applying bug spray or warding off mosquitoes, and when you consider that mosquitoes are known carriers for dangerous diseases such as West Nile Virus, then taking a proactive stance with eliminating them is your best bet. Fortunately the Mosquito Tek exterminators can clear your yard of mosquitoes and other harmful insects so you can enjoy time outside again with your family and pets.

Exterminate Mosquitoes Where They Breed

Even though spraying for adult mosquitoes is what most people associate with for an effective mosquito control treatment, it is also important to deal with the prevention of mosquito larvae developing into adults. At Mosquito Tek, this is addressed using a two-step process by the technician, who will first inspect your property identifying all areas where standing water exists, and empty any containers that contain water. For the second step of the process he will apply a larvicide to areas of where standing water naturally accumulates, such as ponds. The larvae will eat the larvicide and die, thereby breaking the life cycle of the mosquito from developing into an adult. This will not affect other aquatic insects, fish, amphibians, or harm the local wildlife.

Organic and Conventional Treatment Methods

At Mosquito Tek, there are two different treatment options for exterminating mosquitoes around your home or business. Each method will effectively and safely eliminate mosquitoes on your property, and if you’re not sure which treatment plan is right for you, your mosquito control technician can help you determine which option is recommended for your individual situation.

• For those that prefer an all natural ingredient insecticide, there’s the organic mosquito control treatment option that uses Essentria. This environmentally friendly product line is NOP compliant, and is considered safe to use on organic gardens, and it has no aquatic setback. It is also a good option for restaurants with outdoor dining, daycare centers, assisted living homes, or homeowners who simply prefer a gentle solution that will kill mosquitoes but have a low impact on the environment. This treatment needs to be applied every 14 days.
• For the most difficult mosquito infestations there is the conventional mosquito treatment option which uses the Talstar product line, which has a strong mosquito knockdown and has been voted the best mosquito insecticide for the last five years. It will need to be applied every 21 days.

Tick Control Options

Every mosquito control customer is offered an optional low cost tick control treatment upgrade that will also completely eliminate ticks as well as mosquitoes. Fleas and ticks can spread serious illnesses such as typhus, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease, so protecting your family and pets from their bites is an important layer of protection that will allow you to rest assured that your home or business is free of three of the most annoying and dangerous insects that inhabit your property. For customers that don’t choose to have a mosquito treatment done but still want to treat their yard for ticks, this spray treatment can be purchased as an individual service at a very affordable rate.
