Mosquito

Why Mosquitoes Are More Than Just a Nuisance

Mosquitoes are not simply an outdoor annoyance. In Ontario, mosquitoes are active carriers of West Nile Virus — a disease that causes serious illness in vulnerable individuals. Beyond the health risk, mosquito pressure drives customers away from restaurant patios, makes backyards unusable during peak summer months, and keeps families indoors when they should be enjoying their outdoor space.

A single female mosquito can lay up to 300 eggs at a time in as little as a bottle cap of standing water. Without intervention, one backyard can host thousands of mosquitoes within a season.

Pestisect’s mosquito control services target the breeding cycle at the source — not just the adult mosquitoes you see flying.

Without proper control, their population can increase rapidly, spreading across your yard, garden, or commercial outdoor space.

Mosquito Species Common in Ontario

Understanding which species is active on your property helps us target treatment precisely:

Each species requires slightly different source control and treatment targeting. Our technicians identify what’s active on your property before applying any treatment.

Culex Mosquitoes

Size: Small to medium (4–7 mm)

Appearance: Light to dark brown

Behaviour: Active at night, common in urban areas

Breeding Site: Stagnant water in drains, gutters, pots

Small brown mosquitoes active at night, commonly found in standing water like drains and containers.

Aedes Mosquitoes

Size: 3–6mm

Appearance: Black with white stripes

Behaviour: Aggressive daytime biters

Breeding Site: Small containers — bottle caps, tires, flower pots

Black with white stripes, aggressive daytime biters found near homes and gardens.

Anopheles Mosquitoes

Medium-sized mosquitoes found near natural water sources, active during dawn and dusk.

Floodwater Mosquitoes

Size: 6–10mm

Appearance: Dark brown with golden markings

Behaviour: Strong fliers, aggressive biters

Breeding Site: Puddles and open land after heavy rain or snowmelt

Appear after rainfall, known for aggressive biting and rapid population growth.

Why Mosquito Control

Why Mosquito Control Matters for Your Property

Mosquito control is essential for maintaining a safe, comfortable, and usable outdoor environment for both residential and commercial properties. Mosquitoes are not just a seasonal nuisance—they are fast-breeding pests that can quickly multiply in areas with standing water, moisture, and shaded surroundings. Without proper control, even a small mosquito problem can turn into a widespread infestation in a short period of time.

For Homeowners

Enjoy your backyard, deck, and garden again. Evening barbecues, children's outdoor play, and patio dining are all severely impacted by high mosquito pressure. Our treatment restores your outdoor living space.

For Business Owners & Restaurants

Outdoor seating is a revenue generator — but only when guests are comfortable. A heavy mosquito problem drives diners indoors or away entirely. Hotels, resorts, and event venues also benefit from professional seasonal mosquito management.

For Property Managers

Common outdoor areas in condominiums and apartment complexes — courtyards, pool decks, shared gardens — attract mosquito infestations impacting tenant satisfaction. We offer recurring seasonal programs for multi-unit properties.

Our Treatment Process

How Mosquito Control Works

Our systematic approach ensures complete elimination of Mosquito

Property Inspection

We walk your entire property to identify standing water sources, breeding sites, resting areas in dense vegetation, and entry points around the structure.

Source Identification & Elimination

Standing water is the root cause. We identify every breeding site — floor drains, gutters, downspout pools, flower pots, bird baths, tarps, low spots in lawns — and either eliminate the source or treat it directly with larvicide.

Barrier Treatment

We apply a targeted residual barrier spray to the underside of foliage, fence lines, shaded areas, and perimeter vegetation where adult mosquitoes rest during the day. This significantly reduces the adult population and extends protection for weeks.

Prevention Guidance

We provide specific, actionable prevention steps for your property — re-grading low areas, covering water features, maintaining gutters — to reduce breeding conditions throughout the season.

Keep gutters clean

Clogged gutters hold water for weeks after rain

🚰

Cover or refresh water features

Bird baths and water gardens should be treated or changed every 3–4 days

🌿

Trim dense vegetation

Moist shrubs and dense plantings are daytime resting spots for mosquitoes

Frequently Asked Questions — Mosquito Control

When is the best time to start mosquito control in Ontario?

Treatment is most effective when started in late May, before peak mosquito season arrives in June. However, source elimination and barrier treatments are effective throughout the active season (May–October).

How long do mosquito treatments last?

Barrier treatments typically remain effective for 3–4 weeks, depending on weather conditions. Rain and heavy dew can shorten effectiveness, while dry conditions extend it. We recommend 3–4 treatments per season for consistent protection.

Is mosquito spray safe for my children and pets?

We use Health Canada-approved formulations applied at low concentrations to vegetation. We advise keeping children and pets off treated areas while the product is wet (typically 30–60 minutes). Once dry, treated areas are safe for normal use.

Can mosquito control eliminate all mosquitoes from my property?

No treatment eliminates 100% of mosquitoes — flying adults can enter from neighbouring properties. Our goal is to dramatically reduce the population on your property and break the breeding cycle, which significantly improves outdoor comfort.

Do you offer seasonal mosquito programs?

Yes. We offer seasonal programs with scheduled treatments throughout the mosquito season. Seasonal clients also receive priority booking and discounted per-treatment rates.
