Why St. Louis Mosquitoes Are So Bad
St. Louis sits at the confluence of two major rivers, with hot, humid summers that mosquitoes love. Add in the mature landscaping and water features common in our neighborhoods, and you have ideal breeding conditions.
Mosquitoes don't just bite—they can carry diseases like West Nile virus, which has been detected in St. Louis County. Protecting your family from mosquitoes is about more than just comfort.
After 20 years in lawn care, I spent countless hours in St. Louis backyards. I know where mosquitoes breed and rest, and I use that knowledge to target treatments where they'll be most effective.
Where Mosquitoes Breed
- Standing water
Birdbaths, plant saucers, clogged gutters
- Drainage areas
Low spots that hold water after rain
- Overgrown vegetation
Tall grass and dense shrubs
- Tree holes
Water collecting in trunk cavities
- Tire swings
Old tires that collect rainwater
My Mosquito Treatment Approach
Effective mosquito control means treating where they rest, not just where they fly.
Property Assessment
I walk your property to identify breeding sites and resting areas. The underside of leaves, shady areas, and dense vegetation are key targets.
Targeted Treatment
I apply professional products to vegetation, structures, and other areas where mosquitoes rest during the day. This kills them before they bite.
