Do you need a mosquito treatment?
We’ve all heard the news about the Zika Virus, West Nile, Dengue Fever and other diseases carried by mosquitoes. But did you know mosquitoes are responsible for more deaths than any other animal? They are also harmful to our pets, livestock, and other animals. Take back your yard, and protect your family and pets while enjoying the summer with our mosquito control service!
- West Nile Virus: This is a viral infection that can cause fever, headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. In severe cases, it can lead to neurological issues and, in rare cases, death.
- Zika Virus: Zika virus can cause birth defects in infants born to mothers who were infected during pregnancy. It can also lead to Guillain-Barré syndrome in some adults.
- Dengue Fever: Dengue can cause severe flu-like symptoms, including high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, and mild bleeding.
- Chikungunya Virus: Chikungunya symptoms include fever, joint pain, muscle aches, headaches, joint swelling, or rash. In some cases, joint pain can persist for months.
- Malaria: While not as common in the United States, mosquitoes can transmit malaria. Symptoms include fever, chills, and flu-like illness, which can be severe and potentially fatal.

FAQs About Mosquito Pest Control
Mosquitoes are more than just annoying; they are vectors for various diseases such as West Nile virus, Zika virus, and dengue fever. Controlling their population is crucial for public health and preventing the spread of these illnesses.
Mosquitoes are attracted to standing water, where they lay their eggs. Common breeding grounds include stagnant ponds, bird baths, clogged gutters, and even small puddles. Additionally, they are attracted to body heat, carbon dioxide, and certain scents emitted by humans.
To reduce mosquito breeding, regularly empty and clean containers holding stagnant water, maintain gutters, and ensure proper drainage. Additionally, use mosquito dunks or larvicides in areas with standing water to prevent the development of mosquito larvae.
Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk, but some species are active throughout the day. It’s essential to take preventive measures, such as using repellents and wearing protective clothing, during peak mosquito activity times.
No, not all mosquitoes carry diseases. However, some species are known vectors for diseases like malaria, West Nile virus, and Zika virus. It’s essential to control mosquito populations to minimize the risk of disease transmission.
DIY methods include eliminating standing water, using mosquito repellents, installing screens on windows and doors, and using mosquito nets. While these methods can provide some relief, professional mosquito control services are often more effective for long-term results.
Mosquito control services typically involve a combination of larvicide treatments, adulticide applications, and source reduction. Professionals assess your property, identify breeding sites, and implement targeted strategies to reduce the mosquito population.
Yes, reputable mosquito control services use EPA-approved products that are safe for pets and children when applied according to guidelines. It’s advisable to follow any specific instructions provided by the professionals during and after the treatment.
Yes, natural methods include planting mosquito-repelling plants, using essential oils like citronella, and employing biological controls like introducing mosquito-eating fish to water features. While these methods may help, professional mosquito control services often provide more comprehensive solutions.
The duration of effectiveness varies depending on factors such as weather conditions, mosquito species, and the severity of the infestation. Typically, professional treatments provide weeks to months of relief, and recurring treatments may be necessary during peak mosquito seasons.

Our neighbor alerted us to a huge wasp nest that was attached to an outside window on our home. We have a pest contract with Southern Pest so called them. That very same day they sent Devante Trent to us and he was AWESOME! He bravely sprayed the huge nest and then knocked it all to the ground and finished killing all the eggs. He was fun and funny and just delightful to work with. Thank you Southern Pest Control and thank you Devante!

From Richmond, VirginiaDylan, our pest control expert, was thorough, knowledgeable, polite and friendly. We are glad to have chosen Southern Pest and recommend their services to friends and family often. They have been protecting us and our home from pests for 25 years. Not only have we never had an out-of-control infestation, but they come out to retreat the yard whenever we suspect an infestation is imminent. We have them for the Termite Protection as well as a Pet Lovers package which covers fleas & ticks. Our experience has been that whatever they do for the fleas and ticks also curbs the mosquitoes. We are quite happy with Southern Pest Control.

I have been with Southern Pest Control for the last 3 years. They go above and beyond to ensure great customer service and satisfaction. I really can't say enough good things about this company! They always show up on time and are professional, personable, and courteous. Communication is easy, whether it be over the phone or in person. And most importantly, NO FREAKING BUGS! 😁 Most recently, I was highly impressed once again when my tech Matt came out for a scheduled renewal inspection and treatment, (even though we had torrential downpours and the city of Suffolk had issued a severe weather warning). He showed up right on time with a big smile and and just shrugged about the rain, like it wasn't a thing. He went about his inspection and treatment smoothly and efficiently, and even took his time to engage in a little conversation, despite it being the last appointment of the day when he no doubt (but didn't let on) wanted to get home to his family and dry clothes. STELLAR customer service, and top-of-the-line treatments.Oh and did I mention? NO FREAKING BUGS!! 😁 Love these guys ...HIGHLY recommend! 😊

Not really happy and won't renew. Had a scheduled appointment and they canceled an hour prior and said they would call to reschedule. Did you really thing we would get a call? A good company would call and say hey, sorry, we couldn't make it today, but can we reschedule? And I have recommended people in the past, well no more.

Have had SPC for over a decade and their service is outstanding. Had a retreatment today specifically for ants and the service was just as good or better than my annual service. Nathan was right on time. He listened to my concerns (termites vs ants?) and looked at the evidence I pointed out to him. He knew exactly what the issue was and he patiently explained the differences between flying ants and termites. He quickly treated my house inside and out. He was very courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Nathan reinforced my confidence that SPC is the pest control company I will stick with.

I am very pleased with the service provided by Southern Pest Control recently. I've been a customer since 2002 and never had any issues with them through the years. Southern Pest Control is one of those rare companies that actually doesn't raise renewal prices every single year. I had an especially noteworthy service performed this year ...and mostly because of the service tech - Ian. Ian was polite, professional and easy to talk to! Ian performed a thorough inspection and ensured an appropriate amount of product was applied around my home's foundation. Ian demonstrated exceptional service and I appreciate his efforts!

we signed up for a 2 year contract and have had to call them back out once and am going to call them and schedule them again within the last 6 months. within 2 weeks of them spraying we have spider webs all over our house and porch again.the first time we used them 2 years ago we signed up for a year they were great they came out and sprayed the first time and we didn't see any spiders or bugs anywhere and they automatically came out every couple of months to respray.I don't know if they changed what they use or what but it isn't working.I have also tried to log onto the site with my log on info and it won't let me log on. I bet if I was trying to make a payment I would be able to log on but to request service all of a sudden I can't log on.

We are fairly new to Southern Pest Control here in Virginia Beach. We have had several treatments inside and outside of our home. Everyone has been so kind and professional while here. Matt came today and he was the best too. I showed him a few areas I wanted treated and he went right to it. This company is very thorough and will come whenever you need them. I’ve hardly seen a bug inside. Just a few dead ones. Not a fan of bugs in the house so their treatments are definitely working! Thank you all!
