Understanding Mosquito Behavior in Arlington
Mosquitoes in Arlington are most active during dawn and dusk, hiding in shrubs, tall grass, and shaded areas during hot daylight hours. Female mosquitoes need blood meals to produce eggs, which is why they bite humans and pets. After feeding, they seek standing water to lay eggs, continuing the reproductive cycle that can produce new generations every 7-10 days during peak season.
Comprehensive Barrier Spray Treatments
Our barrier spray application creates an effective defense around your property. Technicians apply professional-grade products to vegetation, shrubs, and resting areas where mosquitoes congregate. The treatment adheres to foliage, creating a protective barrier that continues working for weeks after application. These treatments target adult mosquitoes while remaining appropriate for residential use when applied by our trained professionals.

Stop Them at the Source with Mosquito Stations
For homeowners who want extra protection, we offer mosquito stations—an innovative solution that targets mosquitoes where they breed.
These stations work continuously to stop mosquitoes at the source, spreading treatment to hidden breeding sites and cutting down future generations. This system is people and pet-friendly while delivering long-lasting results. How these stations work:
1. Attracts Mosquitos
Stations lure female mosquitoes looking to lay eggs.
2. Contaminates the Mosquito
She picks up larvicide and a biological fungus.
3. Spreads the Treatment
The mosquito carries larvicide to other water sources, killing larvae.
4. Eliminates Adults
The fungus kills the mosquito after a few days, reducing the biting population.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much area does one mosquito station cover?
Each station effectively protects an area of about 1,200 to 2,500 square feet, depending on the environment. Strategically placing multiple stations around your property ensures broad coverage to reduce mosquito populations.
How often do I need mosquito treatments?
We recommend monthly service during the warmer months to maintain consistent protection and reduce mosquito populations effectively.
What areas do your treatments target?
