Good mosquito control is not complicated, just reliable. RS Mosquito Control was founded in 2024 by a Chanhassen family that had spent too many Minnesota summers watching backyard gatherings get cut short by biting mosquitoes. The idea was straightforward: build a mosquito control service that treats every property the way we would want our own yard treated. Honest work, clear pricing, and a program that actually holds through the season. We serve homeowners, property managers, and event hosts across Chanhassen and the wider Carver County area, and we have built our reputation one yard at a time.
Targeted spray. Clear pricing. Careful work around kids and pets.
Whether you need a full seasonal mosquito control program, a one-time spray before a big outdoor event, or a mosquito control specialist who can handle a large commercial property, we are ready to help.
Over the years, we have learned what mosquito customers actually need. They want the biting to stop, they want someone who shows up when they say they will, and they want a program that does not require them to think about it every week. That is exactly what we deliver.
Our approach follows the professional standard for integrated mosquito management. We do not just spray and leave. We start with a thorough inspection of your property, walking the yard to find standing water where mosquitoes breed. Birdbaths, low spots, clogged gutters, drainage areas, containers left out after rain. Every source we can eliminate, we eliminate. Standing water that cannot be drained is treated with larvicide so that mosquito larvae never develop into biting adults.
Once source reduction is handled, we apply a barrier spray treatment to the shrubs, foliage, and shaded resting spots where adult mosquitoes spend most of their time. That perimeter spray knocks down active adult populations quickly and keeps working for roughly three weeks between visits. The result is a measurable reduction in mosquito activity that holds through the season.
For customers who want to protect against ticks and fleas as well, the same barrier treatment covers those pests as an optional add-on. Let us take care of the rest of the program.
Mosquito control does not have to be stressful. We offer a few clear program options so you can choose what fits your property and your schedule.
The seasonal program is the right fit for most Chanhassen properties. Minnesota's mosquito season runs from the first warm weeks of late spring through early fall, and our recurring program is built around that window. We visit your property on a regular schedule, treating every three weeks through the active season. Each visit follows the same integrated process: inspect for new standing water, larvicide what we find, and apply the barrier spray to foliage and shaded areas. The program keeps mosquito pressure consistently low rather than letting populations rebuild between visits.
Spring mosquito treatment gets the season started on the right foot, and fall mosquito control carries you through to the end. You do not have to track the schedule yourself. We handle that.
Most residential customers in this part of Minnesota are well served by the seasonal program. Commercial clients or properties with extended-season outdoor use can talk with us about scheduling options that reach beyond the standard window. We are happy to discuss what makes sense for your specific situation.
Not every customer needs a full seasonal program. If you are hosting a wedding, graduation party, or backyard gathering and you want guests to be comfortable outside, a one-time special-event spray is the right call. We treat the yard before your event, and the application dries and becomes odor-free well before guests arrive. It is a practical solution that takes one item completely off your event planning list.
Trusted by homeowners. Relied on by event hosts. Ready for your yard.
Minnesota's mosquito season typically begins in late May as temperatures climb and standing water accumulates from spring rain and snowmelt. Pressure builds through June and peaks in July, with a second wave often following heavy rain events later in the summer. The season generally winds down by early October.
Two species account for most of the biting pressure in this region. Aedes vexans, the floodwater mosquito, emerges in large numbers after rain events and is responsible for much of the intense, sudden pressure Carver County residents notice after a wet stretch. Culex pipiens, the common house mosquito, is a warm-season species that breeds in stagnant water and is the primary carrier of West Nile virus in our area. West Nile virus is present in Minnesota and is worth taking seriously, though most people who encounter it experience mild or no symptoms. We mention it not to alarm anyone but because it is a real reason to keep mosquito populations managed.
Low-lying yards, retention ponds, and drainage ditches are the most productive breeding habitat in and around Chanhassen. Our standing-water inspection targets exactly those spots. Post-rain flare-up pressure is one reason the three-week treatment cycle matters. We time visits to stay ahead of population spikes rather than responding after they peak. All it takes is a call to start a program.
We take the products we use seriously. Every treatment is applied by licensed mosquito control technicians who follow label directions and apply only what is needed for the target area. We do not over-apply, and we do not cut corners on technique.
Before we treat any yard, we ask about children, pets, and any sensitivities the household wants us to know about. We time applications so that treated surfaces are dry before kids and pets return to the yard. Our goal is a yard that is comfortable and safe for everyone who uses it, which is the whole point of the program in the first place.
Most of our customers are homeowners who want to use their backyard again. Whether you have a standard suburban lot or a larger property with wooded edges and a pond, we size the treatment to what is actually there. Residential mosquito control is the core of our business, and backyard and patio treatment is what we do every day. Families with young children and pet owners make up a large part of our customer base, and we treat every yard with that in mind.
Outdoor dining areas, HOA common spaces, apartment complex grounds, parks, campgrounds, and golf courses all benefit from consistent, professionally managed mosquito control. Property managers value a reliable visit cadence, clear communication, and a service provider who shows up as scheduled. We work with commercial clients across Carver County and structure programs to fit the size and use pattern of each property.
Some of the properties we treat in and around Chanhassen are large residential lots or rural acreage with significant wooded or low-lying areas. We have the equipment and the process to treat larger properties thoroughly. If you have been told your yard is too big to treat effectively, give us a call and let us take a look.
Choosing between a seasonal and a year-round program is easier than it sounds, and pricing should never be a source of confusion. Before any work begins, we walk through the cost of the program with you so there are no surprises on your first invoice or any invoice after that. Mosquito control pricing is based on the size and layout of your property, and we explain how we arrive at every number.
We give honest recommendations, never an upsell. If a simpler program fits your property, that is what we will tell you. If we find that your yard needs a different approach after the first inspection, we explain why before we change anything.
Our program also includes re-service between scheduled visits at no extra charge. If mosquito pressure spikes after a heavy rain and you need us back sooner than the three-week mark, we come back. That is part of what the program covers.
The process is straightforward from the first call to the last treatment of the season.
Word of mouth keeps us busy here, so we earn it every treatment. When you call, you reach someone who knows Chanhassen and knows the properties we treat in this area. We are locally owned and personally accountable for every job we take on.
We are based in Chanhassen and serve the surrounding communities throughout Carver County and the southwest metro. Our service area includes:
If you are in one of these communities or nearby and are not sure whether we cover your area, call and ask. We are adding customers across the region and can usually schedule promptly. You call, the technician comes.
We are based in Chanhassen and serve properties across Carver County and the southwest metro, including Eden Prairie, Chaska, Victoria, Shakopee, Minnetonka, Waconia, and Excelsior. If you are nearby and not sure whether we cover your address, call us at (952) 295-1529 and we will let you know.
We know this region well. The two species that drive most of the pressure here are Aedes floodwater mosquitoes, which surge after rain events, and Culex house mosquitoes, which are the primary carriers of West Nile virus and are most active at dusk. Our program is built around both patterns, not a generic schedule designed for a different climate.
Call us and we will come back. Re-service between scheduled visits is part of the program, not something you have to argue for. If something about a visit did not go the way you expected, we want to know so we can make it right.
Before we treat any yard we ask about children, pets, and any sensitivities the household wants us to know about. We target foliage and shaded resting zones rather than open lawn or flowering plants, and we time applications so surfaces are dry before kids and pets return to the yard. If you have a vegetable garden or a pollinator bed, mention it when you call and we will plan the application accordingly.
Treatments are performed by licensed mosquito control technicians who follow label directions and apply only what is needed for the target area. We do not cut corners on technique or over-apply product to move faster through a job.
We are a mosquito specialist, not a general lawn care or pest control company that adds mosquito spray as an extra service. Every visit follows the integrated mosquito management process: inspect for standing water, reduce sources, larvicide what remains, then apply the barrier spray. That full-cycle approach produces better results than a spray-only visit.

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.
