Mosquito Control Arlington
Arlington is a thriving community located next to Washington, DC, and has subdivisions located near different transit spots to help make commuting into D.C. easier. Arlington is home to both the Arlington National Cemetery and the Pentagon, and has a number of large companies who prefer the location since it’s conveniently located near the nations capital. Arlington has a humid subtropical climate with mild winters, but the hot humid summers are perfectly suited to breed mosquitoes, so Arlington residents and company owners need the exterminators at Mosquito Tek that can eliminate mosquitoes safely and effectively.
Exterminate Mosquitoes Where They Breed
When you consider that mosquitoes are carriers of deadly diseases such as West Nile Virus, then it’s important to prevent them from living and thriving anywhere near your property. When it comes to eliminating mosquitoes, you need to do more than spray to kill the adult mosquitoes. Mosquito Tek uses a two-step approach to mosquito control, where the mosquito technician first identifies areas where mosquitoes breed and applies a larvicide that the larvae will eat and die, thereby preventing them from developing into adults. This larvicide does not affect other insects, nor is it harmful to the environment. Once the larvae are addressed, a barrier spray that exterminates the adult mosquitoes is applied to all areas where mosquitoes live and thrive.
Conventional and Organic Mosquito Treatments
It’s important that you have choices when it comes to bringing mosquito populations under control on your property, which is why Mosquito Tek offers two highly effective options for your mosquito control treatment services. The conventional method has the strongest mosquito knockdown, but is still safe to use around your family, pets, wildlife, and all plant life surrounding your property. The conventional mosquito spray needs to be reapplied every three weeks. The organic mosquito control option is environmentally friendly and safe to use around organic gardens, restaurants, assisted care facilities, and daycare centers. It has no aquatic setback, and uses 100% all natural ingredients that are safe to use around your family, pets, and the local wildlife. The organic mosquito treatment needs to be reapplied every two weeks.Tick Control Options
Ticks and fleas are not only annoying to your family and pets, but they are also known carriers of dangerous diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease. Mosquito Tek wants to make sure the property surrounding your home or company is free from not only mosquitoes, but also ticks. For all customers that select to have any mosquito control service performed, they also have the option of adding the tick control upgrade that will additionally eliminate ticks as well as mosquitoes. The tick control service is available either an upgrade to any mosquito control service, or it can be purchased individually as a standalone service. These treatments will prevent you, your family and pets from getting attacked by fleas or ticks while spending time in your own backyard.

Mosquito Prevention Tips
If you are worried about the mosquitoes around your yard, there are steps that you can do to help lower the number of mosquitoes that may be bothering you. While these steps can help, they will not completely eliminate the mosquitoes.
- Keep your lawn trimmed: When your lawn is short, and your bushes trimmed back, it is easier for the ground to dry, which gives the mosquitoes fewer places to find harborage.
- Address standing water: Mosquitoes can breed in just a capful of water. If you have spaces that collect water, you need to address the areas by draining them to stop mosquitoes from breeding on your property.
- Change your light bulbs: Mosquitoes are not attracted to light, but to the frequency that light bulbs send out. If you switch to yellow bug lights or LED lights, you will not attract the mosquitoes.
- Use insect repellent: Insect repellent is a sure way to stop the mosquitoes from biting you and your family. DEET has been found to be very effective against mosquito and tick bites.
