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.

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.
We have been customers for almost 15 years and whenever we have a problem they come as soon as they are able, even for the same problem. They always have or try to figure out a solution. All of the technicians are knowledgeable and answer all of our questions. When we were first time customers MPP even found a ladder to get a wasp nest on a doormer 40 feet up.

My Pest Pros has always shown up when I’ve needed them! The technicians are friendly and knowledgeable, visits are scheduled promptly, communication is solid, and pricing is reasonable. Since being their client they’ve eliminated ants, crickets, and all the pests that find their way in from the nearby woods. They also conduct a mosquito treatment that greatly reduces the impact of a nearby creek. Recently, Ben came by to conduct a treatment and removed a wasp nest that was well on its way to being a big problem. I’d strongly recommend this company to anyone that wants to protect their home and have a service on call for when they need it most.

Corad Williams was just here and is warm and knowledgeable. Would be happy to have him service our home again.Always pleased with the quality of the people employed by Pest Pros, but a recent change in making reservations - putting callers through to an AI voice system - has been terrible.The AI is programmed to take specific dates/times, then state it will "pass the message on to our reservations team." However, the messages don't seem to be passed on accurately. It took nearly two weeks and several phone calls on my part to get Corad out for a mouse problem. This shouldn't happen, particularly for a company who charges close to $100/month for their subscription services.Again, every human being I have interacted with at My Pest Pros has been lovely. The AI is frustrating and essentially useless.Employees = 5 starsAI voice system = 1 star
If you have a pest-control question, we respond around the clock. We don’t rush treatments; we get them right! We treat our customers like family; because, to us, you are. So whenever you have a pest problem, you can rely on the team at My Pest Pros to take care of it.
