Mosquito Control in Norfolk, VA

Residents of Norfolk love this coastal, historic city for everything it has to offer. One thing they don’t love or appreciate, though, is the mosquito problem. Living by the water certainly makes avoiding these stinging, biting pests hard, especially if you’re someone who enjoys swimming, boating, jet-skiing, or other aquatic activities.

Fortunately, there’s a way around it. Mosquito control in Norfolk, VA, isn’t always easy, but when you know more about them, why they show up, and how to reduce them, you know exactly what kind of approach to take. At least, that’s how we see it—and perhaps why our team is one of the pest control companies that Norfolk residents call when they need help.

Why Does Norfolk, VA Have So Many Mosquitoes?

Norfolk is right on the water (how could anyone forget?). But being on the coast doesn’t just mean fun activities you can do throughout the year. It also usually indicates a high water table, which means more large areas of standing water, such as marshes and wetlands, that attract mosquitoes. 

Virginia is also humid, especially during the summer, when mosquitoes are most active. There’s often heavy rainfall, and many people have lush yards with green grass, plants, trees, shrubs, and even small ponds, all of which are desirable for mosquitoes. All in all, the conditions in this area are perfect for these pests to thrive, leaving you with a yard you can’t enjoy without fear of itchy, red welts.

How to Reduce Mosquitoes In Your Yard

Though you can’t take a wet vac to all of Norfolk’s standing water (wouldn’t that be nice), you can focus on your yard and what you can change to help reduce the mosquito populations. For example, if you have standing water, such as in work buckets or forgotten watering cans, be sure to dump it. Other items with water, such as bird baths or kiddie pools, should be changed regularly to prevent stagnation and mosquito breeding. 

There’s also the option of larvicides, barrier sprays, and misting systems that regularly spray your yard with mosquito repellent. However, these DIY methods can have their pitfalls. Not only can you not truly tell how much or how little treatment your yard needs, but you can also risk adding more than necessary and potentially putting the safety of kids and pets in danger. Plus, one treatment here and there isn’t enough to last the entire season. That’s where Mosquito Squad comes in.
