After a monsoon, your backyard can feel like a mosquito party. Warm weather plus fresh puddles is all they need. You can win without grabbing store sprays. The trick is to remove the water they breed in and let our team handle the treatment.

What homeowners can do today

These simple, no chemical steps shut down breeding fast. Do them every three to four days during monsoon season.

• Dump standing water from plant saucers, toys, buckets, grill covers, tarps and wheelbarrows.
• Drain and clear clogged gutters and low spots so water moves and dries.
• Refresh birdbaths and pet bowls with clean water often.
• Cover rain barrels and cans with fine mesh so mosquitoes cannot get in.
• Fix window and door screens and add door sweeps to keep mosquitoes outside.
• Run an outdoor fan on the patio. Mosquitoes are weak fliers and will avoid the breeze.
• Protect skin when you are outside at dusk and dawn. Use an EPA registered repellent such as DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus and wear long sleeves and long pants.

These actions break the life cycle because many mosquitoes can go from egg to adult in about a week. Less water means fewer places to lay eggs and fewer bites.

What you should call us for

Please leave chemicals and treatments to professionals. Sprays and yard products can be misapplied, drift to places you do not want, or harm beneficial insects. Our team uses targeted products and methods that focus on the source and are chosen for Arizona homes.

Here is what Alpha Pest Control handles for you

• Full property inspection to find hidden breeding spots such as irrigation boxes, French drains, blocked downspouts and shaded plant beds.
• Larval control with professional products in places where water must remain. This stops mosquitoes before they can fly.
• Precise adult mosquito reduction around living areas such as patios and play spaces using calibrated applications to shaded foliage and harborage.
• Custom prevention plan for your yard layout so the fixes you do at home work even better.
• Monsoon season service options for steady protection when activity spikes.

When to bring in the pros

• You are still getting bites after two rounds of the checklist above.
• You see wrigglers moving in water you cannot dump or drain.
• You want a steady plan during monsoon months that keeps pressure low around your home.
