Mosquito control
Get your yard back from mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes need standing water to breed and shade to rest in during the day. A Plus Pesticide targets the spots around your home where they hatch and hide, so you spend more time outside and less time swatting.
Mosquitoes in Jacksonville
Mosquitoes that thrive in Jacksonville heat and rain.
Jacksonville gets a lot of rain, and the warm months give mosquitoes a long breeding season. The Asian tiger mosquito lays its eggs in small containers, gutters and saucers, and it is common in Florida backyards. Other species breed in ditches, ponds and low spots that hold water after storms.
Mosquitoes are more than a nuisance. They can spread diseases such as West Nile virus. Removing standing water is the first step, and treating resting areas keeps the population in check between storms.
What to look for
Signs your yard has a mosquito problem.
Standing water
Buckets, plant saucers, clogged gutters, pet bowls and tarps that hold water are breeding sites, even when they hold only a little.
Swarms in shaded spots
Dense shrubs, low ground and the space under decks are where adult mosquitoes rest during the day.
Spikes after storms
A jump in mosquitoes after heavy rain means new breeding sites have filled up nearby.

Common questions
Mosquito questions Jacksonville yards raise.
Will one treatment eliminate every mosquito?
No treatment removes every mosquito, especially with new ones arriving from neighboring properties. A recurring plan keeps the population around your home lower for longer.
Do I need to do anything myself?
Yes. Empty containers, clear gutters and change pet water and plant saucers each week. Those steps work with the treatment.
