Careful work around kids and pets.

Good mosquito control is not complicated, just reliable. We visit your property on a regular schedule, roughly every three weeks from late May through September, timed to match the Chanhassen mosquito season when pressure builds and stays high. Each treatment targets the foliage, shrubs, and shaded resting sites where mosquitoes spend the daylight hours waiting to bite.
Minnesota summers also bring something every local knows well: the post-rain surge. After a heavy storm, standing water collects fast and mosquito populations can spike within days. Our program accounts for that pattern, so you are not caught off guard when the pressure climbs. West Nile virus is a genuine concern in Minnesota, and keeping adult mosquito populations down through the season is one of the most practical ways to reduce your family's exposure.
Each visit covers the property perimeter and the foliage where mosquitoes rest. Work is performed by licensed mosquito control technicians who know what to target: dense shrubs, shaded lawn edges, low-hanging branches, and any spot that stays cool and damp through the afternoon. Treatment dries quickly, so the yard is ready to use again in short order.
If activity picks back up before your next scheduled visit, we come back. Re-service between scheduled visits at no extra charge is part of the program, not an exception to it.
Every program starts with a walk of the property. Before we spray a drop, we look for where mosquitoes are actually breeding. Common sources include low spots in the lawn, clogged gutters, birdbaths, containers left out after rain, and drainage ditches along the property edge. Finding and eliminating these sites is the foundational step that makes every spray more effective. You call, the technician comes.
Some standing water cannot be drained. Ponds, low-lying areas, and drainage ditches common across Carver County fall into that category. When we find water that is staying put, we treat it with a larvicide so larvae never develop into biting adults. We give you honest recommendations, never an upsell, on which water sources need treatment and which ones just need a simple fix.
Not every customer needs a full seasonal program. If you have a wedding, graduation party, or backyard gathering coming up, a single treatment applied before the event handles the job. The spray is dry and odor-free well before guests arrive, and we work around your event timeline so scheduling is not a headache. Trusted by homeowners. Relied on by event hosts. Ready for your yard.
The Chanhassen season typically runs from late May through September, with peak pressure hitting in July and August when heat and humidity combine with standing water from summer storms. Two species drive most of the biting here. Culex pipiens is the primary carrier of West Nile virus in Minnesota and is most active in the evenings near standing water. Aedes vexans is the aggressive floodwater mosquito that surges after heavy rain and bites hard during the day as well as at night.
West Nile virus is present in Minnesota, and while most infections are mild, it is a risk worth taking seriously. A properly timed program addresses both the steady background pressure from Culex pipiens and the post-storm flare-ups from Aedes vexans. The service page covers the full detail, but the short version is: starting your program in late May and staying on schedule through the season makes a real difference.
For properties that want consistent, hands-off coverage, a permanently installed misting system is worth considering. These systems run on a timer or remote control, delivering scheduled spray cycles throughout the day without any scheduling on your end. Once installed, the system handles the routine coverage automatically. If you want protection without thinking about it, let us take care of the rest of the program.
Property managers, HOAs, restaurants with outdoor seating, apartment complexes, golf courses, parks, and campgrounds all deal with the same problem at a larger scale. We apply the same integrated approach to commercial properties: inspect for breeding sites, reduce standing water, larvicide what remains, and treat adults with barrier spray. We show up on time and ready to spray, whether that means a single building or a multi-acre property. The program scales to fit the site.
The barrier spray that protects your yard from mosquitoes works in the treated zone against ticks and fleas as well. If you want that added layer of coverage, ask about it when you call. It is a simple add-on to your existing program, not a separate service.
Mosquito control does not have to be stressful. Pricing is based on property size, the type of program you choose (seasonal recurring or a one-time event spray), and any add-ons you want. There are no hidden fees and no surprises on the invoice. Getting a quote just takes a quick call and a conversation about your property. We will ask a few questions, give you a straightforward number, and get you on the schedule.
When capacity allows, we offer same-day or next-available scheduling. Word of mouth keeps us busy here, so we earn it every treatment.
We serve Chanhassen and the communities around it across the southwest metro. If you are nearby, we can help.
If your town is not on the list, call anyway. We cover more of Carver County and the surrounding area than this list shows.
The active season in Chanhassen typically runs from late May through September, with pressure peaking in July and August when heat, humidity, and summer rain events combine. We build our recurring program around that window so you are covered from the first surge through the end of the season.
After a significant rain event, standing water collects quickly in low spots, gutters, containers, and drainage areas, and certain mosquito species can develop from egg to biting adult in as little as a week. The sudden population spike you notice after a wet stretch is a predictable pattern here in Minnesota, not a coincidence. Our program accounts for it through larviciding and re-service when conditions call for it.
We visit your property on a regular schedule, roughly every three weeks from late May through September. Each visit includes a standing-water inspection, larviciding where needed, and a barrier spray to the foliage and shaded areas where mosquitoes rest. The three-week interval is timed to match the residual window of the treatment so protection stays consistent through the season.
Visits are scheduled every three weeks through the active season. That cadence keeps adult mosquito populations down between treatments rather than letting them rebuild. If pressure spikes between scheduled visits, we come back at no extra charge.
Yes. Re-service between scheduled visits is part of the program, not an exception to it. If activity picks up after a heavy rain or mid-cycle, call us and we will get back out to your property.
The technician walks your property before any spray is applied, looking for standing water and breeding sites. Sources that can be eliminated are addressed on the spot, and water that cannot be drained is treated with larvicide. After that inspection step, the barrier spray is applied to shrubs, foliage, and shaded resting zones around the perimeter.
Call us at (952) 295-1529 and we will ask a few questions about your property, your schedule, and what you are dealing with. You get a clear price before anything is scheduled, and there are no hidden fees on the invoice.
You do not need to be home for a scheduled treatment as long as we have access to the yard. We ask that gates are unlocked and pets are brought inside before the visit. If you want to be there for the first inspection, that is always welcome.
We apply treatments to foliage and shaded resting zones, not open lawn or play areas, and the product dries quickly after application. We ask that children and pets stay out of the treated area until it is dry, which typically takes less than an hour. If you have specific concerns, mention them when you call and we will talk through the approach with you.
Yes. A one-time event spray is a practical option if you have a gathering coming up and want guests to be comfortable outside. We treat the yard before your event, and by the time guests arrive the product is dry and odor-free. It is a simple add-on that takes one item off your planning list.
RS Mosquito Control has been serving Chanhassen and the surrounding area since 2024, and every yard we treat is a yard we want to come back to. If mosquitoes are keeping you inside, the fix is straightforward. Call (952) 295-1529 and we will get a program in place before the next round of biting starts. Trusted locally. Priced fairly. Ready when you are.
All it takes is a call to start a program.

How often does a technician visit my property?
On our seasonal program, we schedule visits every three weeks from late May through September. That cadence is designed to match the residual window of the barrier treatment, so adult mosquito populations stay down rather than rebuilding between visits.
What does a technician actually spray, and where?
We focus on the foliage, shrubs, shaded lawn edges, and low-hanging branches where mosquitoes rest during the day. We do not spray open lawn or play areas. The perimeter of the property is treated so mosquitoes moving in from neighboring areas encounter the barrier first.
How soon will I notice fewer mosquitoes after the first treatment?
Most customers notice a significant reduction in biting activity within a day or two of the first visit. The barrier spray knocks down adult populations quickly. Full season-long results build as we continue treating on schedule and address breeding sources over time.
Re-Service Between Scheduled Visits
If mosquito activity picks up between your scheduled treatments, we come back at no extra charge. That is part of the program, not a special exception.
What happens if mosquitoes come back between scheduled visits?
Re-service between scheduled visits is part of the program, not an exception to it. If a heavy rain event or mid-cycle pressure spike brings activity back up, call us and we will get back out to your property at no extra charge.
Are treatments safe for children and pets?
We apply product to foliage and shaded resting zones, not to open play areas or lawn surfaces, and the treatment dries quickly after application. We ask that children and pets stay out of treated areas until dry, which typically takes less than an hour. If you have specific concerns, mention them when you call and we will walk through the approach with you.
Do I need to be home when the technician comes?
You do not need to be home for a scheduled treatment as long as we have access to the yard. We ask that gates are unlocked and pets are brought inside before the visit. If you would like to be present for the first inspection and walk-through, that is always welcome.
Integrated Mosquito Management: Source Reduction First
Every visit starts with an inspection for standing water and breeding sites. We reduce or eliminate sources before we spray, which makes each treatment more effective and keeps pressure lower through the season.
How does standing-water source reduction fit into the program?
Before we apply any spray, the technician walks your property looking for where mosquitoes are actually breeding. Common sources include low spots in the lawn, clogged gutters, birdbaths, and containers left out after rain. Eliminating or treating those sources is the foundational step that makes every barrier spray more effective.
How do weather and rain affect a barrier treatment?
A treatment that has had time to dry is reasonably resilient to light rain. A heavy storm shortly after application can reduce effectiveness, and certain mosquito species surge after significant rain events as standing water collects quickly. That is part of why our program includes re-service when conditions call for it.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
Pricing is based on your property size and the program you choose. We give you a clear number before anything is scheduled, and the invoice matches what we quoted.
How does a one-time special-event spray work?
We apply a single barrier treatment to your yard before your event. The product dries and the odor clears well before guests arrive. We work around your event timeline so scheduling is straightforward. If you have a gathering coming up, calling a week or more ahead gives us the best chance to get you on the schedule at the right time.
What can I do between visits to help keep mosquitoes down?
The most effective thing homeowners can do is eliminate standing water. Empty containers after rain, keep gutters clear, change birdbath water weekly, and look for low spots where water pools and sits. These steps reduce the breeding sites that produce new mosquitoes between our visits.
How is the program priced over the season?
Pricing is based on property size, the program type you choose, and any add-ons you select. There are no hidden fees and no surprises on the invoice. Getting a quote takes a quick call and a few questions about your property. We give you a clear number before anything is scheduled.
