Mosquito Control Annandale
Annandale is about fourteen miles south of Washington, DC and has a population of 41,008. The city center is unique because it serves as the unofficial Koreatown for the greater Washington DC area. There are a number of local shops and restaurants that cater to Koreans. However, it is well-known for quality Korean food, Korean bakeries and Korean barbecues. Many people throughout the DC area will travel to take advantage of the excellent cuisine available in Annandale.
Annandale is home to several different parks in the area including Wakefield Park, Canterbury Woods Park and the Hidden Oaks Nature Center. There are many other parks to visit. With several streams that run throughout the city, Annandale is a prime breeding ground for mosquitoes. The cool, mild winters and hot and humid summers also contribute to a burgeoning insect problem, and Mosquito Tek can exterminate any mosquitoes that may be in your backyard so you can enjoy time outside with your family again.
Eliminate Mosquitoes Where They Breed
In order to completely eliminate mosquitoes, the mosquito control technician needs to do more than spray for adult mosquitoes. Mosquito Tek uses a two-prong approach to help get your mosquito population under control by first addressing mosquitoes where they breed, and stop mosquito larvae from developing into biting adults by treating the breeding areas with larvicide. This process involves treating any permanent standing water that is on your property and emptying containers where permanent water may gather unnaturally. The larvicide will not negatively impact other aquatic insects, nor is it harmful to wildlife.
Conventional and Organic Mosquito Treatments
Mosquito Tek offers two highly effective, yet safe mosquito control treatment options. For the toughest mosquito infestations, the conventional treatments are performed using the Talstar product line. Talstar has one of the most effective mosquito knockdowns on the market and is effective for up to three weeks. For those that prefer mosquito insecticides with only all natural ingredients, Mosquito Tek offers an organic mosquito control option using the Essentria line of products. The Essentria organic treatment option is NOP compliant and is 100% safe to use on your organic garden, is a good option for public spaces, restaurant owners, nursing homes, and daycare centers. Each treatment is effective for up to two weeks.Tick Control Options
As an added value, every customer that has a mosquito treatment done can also choose to get an optional low cost tick control treatment upgrade that will completely eliminate ticks as well as mosquitoes. This service can either be purchased as an upgrade to the mosquito contyrol plan, or it can be purchased individually. Flea and tick treatments are highly suggested since fleas can plague both your family and pets, may move inside of your home, and ticks carry serious diseases like Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Mosquito Tek understands that you want to keep your family and pets safe which is why they provide this affordable option of additional protection with each treatment.

Mosquito Prevention Tips
There are steps that you can take in your yard to help reduce the number of mosquitoes that are currently plaguing your yard.
- Try new light bulbs: Mosquitoes and other insects are actually attracted to the specific frequencies that some light bulbs put out. Switching to LEDS or yellow bug lights can help stop mosquitoes from being attracted to your property.
- Keep your lawn short: Mosquitoes need a place to find harborage. Long grass, overgrown bushes and a lot of undergrowth are the perfect places. Keeping your lawn short, and the bushes trimmed will allow your yard to dry out more quickly and reduce the number of mosquitoes in it.
- Address standing water: Mosquitoes can breed in just a capful of water. They love old buckets or wheelbarrows filled with water, as well as old tires. Check your property for areas that may be collecting water and address them by cleaning up or filling in holes in the ground.
- Wear mosquito repellent: The final step to protect your family is to use an effective mosquito repellent each time you go outside. The CDC recommends using DEET since it will also protect against ticks.
