Mosquito Control in
Richmond, VA
Mosquito control for homes across Richmond and the surrounding area, from our shop in South Hill. We look at the property through both the pest and the moisture lens on the same visit.
How We Approach Mosquito Control Here
Our humid summers and wooded lots make this region ideal mosquito habitat.
Mosquitoes do not travel far. The population biting you in the evening almost certainly developed within a short distance of where you are standing, in water that has been sitting for a week or more. That is why treatment has to reach the resting sites and the breeding water, not just the air. Our approach works on both ends of the life cycle. Barrier treatment targets the shaded, humid places adult mosquitoes rest during the day: the undersides of foliage, dense shrub lines, fence rows and the cool side of the house. Larvicide treats the standing water we cannot drain, such as low spots, drainage structures and ornamental water. We also walk the property with you and point out the breeding sites you can remove yourself. Clogged gutters, saucers under planters, tarps, unused tires, boat covers and children's toys hold more than enough water. Around Lake Gaston and other wooded lakeside properties, that habitat survey matters as much as the treatment itself.

An old river city with a long humid season.
River Valley Humidity
The James River valley holds warm humid air through the summer, and a vented crawl space or an unfinished basement takes that air in and lets it condense on anything cooler than the air itself.
Older City Housing
Neighborhoods built a century ago sit on brick foundations, dirt floor crawl spaces and basements that were never meant to be sealed without first addressing what is under them.
Mature Urban Landscaping
Old street trees, established beds and mulch against the foundation give termites a covered route to the structure, and long settled ground carries long settled colonies.
