Mosquito Control Service in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C.
Mosquitoes are flying, blood-sucking pests that can infest your home and yard. They are attracted to homes with greenery and standing water and are not only itchy, but they also transmit diseases. Active in the warmer months, these pests make enjoying your outdoor space irritating and unbearable.
With the help of My Pest Pros’ mosquito control services in Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland, you can reclaim and restore your outdoor living area. Whether you need a one-time intensive treatment or a seasonal protection plan, we are here to help. Our technicians find and treat the root of the problem—ensuring your home remains mosquito-free.
Mosquitoes are typically gray with white/blue/green scales on their wings. The most distinctive aspect of a mosquito is its long proboscis (nose) that pokes into the skin. While flying, their long skinny legs are typically visible, and their nose.
Once bitten, your skin will develop a small itchy red bump, which usually goes away within a few days. Mosquitoes come out during the early morning and late afternoon when the sun is at its lowest point. Eliminating mosquitoes from your home and yard is difficult, but the experts at My Pest Pros are here to help.
Also known as the Northern house mosquito, this light-brown species has dark stripes along its abdomen and is one of the most common mosquitoes in the region. House mosquitoes can carry West Nile virus and forms of encephalitis.
Asian Tiger Mosquito
Asian tiger mosquitoes are easily identified by their black-and-white striped legs and abdomen and typically measure about ¼ inch long. Known for their aggressive biting behavior, they can carry and transmit the Zika virus, dengue fever, and chikungunya virus.
Yellow Fever Mosquito
Yellow fever mosquitoes feature a distinctive white stripe on the thorax and black-and-white banded legs. This species is a primary carrier of yellow fever and can also transmit the Zika virus, dengue fever, and chikungunya virus.
Our Mosquito Control Process
Inspect
We begin with a thorough inspection to identify the type of pest, locate entry points or nesting sites, and determine the extent of the infestation.
Eliminate
We apply targeted treatments inside and outside your property to efficiently eliminate pests at the source and prevent new ones from getting in.
At My Pest Pros, we understand how frustrating and potentially dangerous a mosquito infestation can be. That’s why we take the time to identify the root cause of your mosquito problem and treat it at the source. We offer several treatment options, including one-time intensive services for major events and recurring pest protection programs to keep your home and yard mosquito-free. For long-term control, we install mosquito misting systems that effectively manage mosquito populations, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor spaces with confidence.
Mosquitoes are persistent pests that bite and reproduce quickly, but with My Pest Pros, your home or business is protected with reliable, professional mosquito control you can trust.
Wear mosquito repellent and protective clothing outdoors.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mosquitoes
Mosquito activity can begin in the spring but tends to escalate during the warm summer months. When temperatures drop, most mosquito species slow down, but the humid and warm summer conditions provide the perfect environment for them to thrive. In the DC Metro area, they are also typically more active in the early morning and late afternoon when the sun is at its lowest point.
Using natural repellents and insecticides can provide some relief and protection, but without professional mosquito treatment and intervention, you will not be able to fully eradicate an infestation. My Pest Pros offers a comprehensive seasonal pest protection plan to eliminate hidden breeding grounds and provide effective, long-lasting pest control.
Standing water is the most common cause of mosquito infestations. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water, and even small amounts—such as in clogged gutters, birdbaths, planters, toys, or puddles—can support breeding. Once mosquitoes emerge, they are attracted to carbon dioxide, body heat, and sweat, as well as shade, moisture, and dense vegetation around homes.
Depending on the species, mosquitoes can carry diseases such as West Nile Virus, Malaria (in tropical climates), and Zika Virus. Their bites transmit viruses and parasites to both people and animals, causing harm to you and your loved ones. If you notice large numbers of mosquitoes in your yard or inside your home, contact My Pest Pros today for professional mosquito treatment!
After being bitten by a mosquito, clean the affected area with soap and water to help prevent infection. Use at-home remedies such as applying ice, over-the-counter anti-itch cream, or antihistamines like Benadryl to reduce inflammation and ease itching. You should avoid scratching the area to prevent further irritation and reduce the risk of infection. If you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing or excessive swelling, consult a medical professional immediately.

This was our first time to use PestPros. We had another pest service, but they have been unsuccessful in handling the rodents in our basement. The PestPro crew thoroughly inspected inside and outside and set up many bait boxes and traps to determine how the rodents are getting into the basement.

Trace was absolutely awesome and a life saver. I'm new to Utah and bought a house near downtown, however I have a tremendous fear of bugs, and saw a few over the past few weeks which prompted me to call in. Trace was so caring, and patient with me, explaining everything very granularly so I'd understand. He was also extremely patient as I had my slight panic attacks just talking about the subject, while not judging me being so dramatic. He did me a solid and put in a light bulb in an area I was afraid to go into. Such a sweetheart and overall went above and beyond the call of duty. I had another service going on and Trace's level of patience was top tier. I'd absolutely recommend Trace and this company; I'm a forever customer! Thanks again Trace!!
