Mosquitoes used to be an occasional problem in the Santa Clarita Valley. Now we hear about them every summer, especially the small black-and-white striped ankle biters that come out during the day and don't let up. Our mosquito control Santa Clarita service goes after them where they breed and rest, so you can use your yard again.
Invasive Aedes mosquitoes have spread across Los Angeles County, and they don't need a pond or a marsh. They lay eggs in a bottle cap's worth of water: plant saucers, clogged rain gutters, toys left in the yard, drip-irrigated planters and the base of potted plants. Irrigated landscaping in Valencia, Saugus and Stevenson Ranch gives them exactly what they need.
Spraying the air doesn't do much on its own. We start by finding where mosquitoes breed and where adults rest during the heat of the day, then treat those spots directly.
Dump and scrub anything that holds water once a week. Eggs stick to the sides of containers, so a rinse isn't enough. Keep gutters clear, fix leaky hose bibs and sprinkler heads, and change pet water bowls and birdbaths often. These steps make the treatment work much better.
If the pests we treated for return within 30 days, we'll re-treat at no charge. No arguing, no upsell.
Activity usually picks up in late spring and runs through early fall, peaking in the hottest months. Warm stretches can extend it on either end.
We use products labeled for residential yards and apply them to resting areas, not play surfaces. We'll tell you how long to keep kids and pets off treated areas — usually just until it dries.
One visit makes a noticeable difference, but mosquitoes keep flying in from neighboring yards. Most homes do best with recurring service through the season.
