Call (952) 295-1529 and you reach someone who knows the trade and can scope your property on the phone.
Tell us what you are dealing with, what the yard looks like, and whether you have standing water nearby, and we will walk you through what a program covers and what a visit involves. That is how every job starts here.
We run a recurring seasonal mosquito program for properties across Bloomington and the surrounding area. The work covers the full integrated approach: inspecting for breeding sites, reducing or eliminating standing water, larviciding what cannot be drained, and applying a barrier spray to the perimeter to knock down adult activity. Birdbaths, gutters and plant saucers are where many mosquitoes start, and the inspection step is where we find them before the population has a chance to build.
The barrier spray is not the first thing that happens. The first thing is a walkthrough, and it matters more than most people expect. We are looking for anywhere water collects and sits after rain, because that is where the next generation of mosquitoes is already developing.
Containers left in the yard, low areas in the turf, clogged gutters, plant trays, tarps with pooled water, and ornamental features all show up in this inspection. Some of those can be drained or tipped. Others are permanent features of the property. The inspection determines which is which, and the treatment plan follows from that.
Ponds, rain gardens, and drainage areas that hold water for days after a storm cannot simply be drained. For those, we apply larvicide directly to the water so that larvae never develop into the biting adults that drive people off their patios. That step happens before the barrier spray goes down and is revisited on subsequent visits when conditions call for it.
This is the sequence that produces lasting pressure reduction rather than a short-term drop. Treating adults without addressing the breeding cycle is like bailing a boat without finding the leak.
The price for a mosquito program is not a flat number that applies to every yard. It depends on the size of the property, how much shaded foliage and dense vegetation it has, whether standing water is a factor, and whether you are looking at a single treatment or a recurring seasonal program.
A larger yard with mature trees, a pond, and significant ground cover takes more product and more time than a compact lot with open turf. A property that needs larviciding alongside the barrier spray is scoped differently from one where source reduction handles the standing water entirely. Those are the things that move a quote.
The price is confirmed on the phone before anything is scheduled. You get a clear explanation of what the program covers for your specific property, and you decide before we put a visit on the calendar. Straight answers about what the treatment covers are part of every call.

Adult mosquitoes do not spend their time flying through open air. They rest in shrubs, low foliage, dense ground cover, and shaded areas along fence lines and property edges. That is where the barrier spray goes, because that is where the population concentrates between feedings. A yard with mature trees and layered plantings holds more mosquitoes than an open lawn, and the treatment is targeted accordingly.
A pond or decorative water feature is a reliable breeding site if it is not managed. Larviciding the water prevents larvae from completing their development, which keeps the adult population from rebuilding between barrier spray visits. If your property has a pond, a fountain, or a water garden, that is one of the first things we ask about on the call.
Event hosts need one less thing to think about on the day. A one-time treatment before an outdoor gathering handles the yard ahead of time so the product is dry and the yard is ready well before guests arrive. We coordinate the timing around your event date, including short-notice requests when the schedule allows.
A heavy rain event can push mosquito numbers up sharply within a short window after standing water appears across the region. If pressure builds between your regularly scheduled visits, reach out and we will work through what the schedule allows. Re-service is available for situations where the interval between treatments does not match what the season is doing.
For properties that want mosquito control without scheduling individual visits, a permanently installed misting system runs on a timer and treats the yard at set intervals. These systems work well on larger residential lots, commercial outdoor spaces, and any property where consistent coverage is the priority. We service existing systems and handle refills as part of what we offer.
We are available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM. Call during those hours and you can get a quote and find out what the schedule looks like for your property. For event treatments or situations where you need the yard ready before a specific date, let us know the date when you call and we will work backward from it.
The recurring seasonal program runs through the active season in this region, from spring through fall. Once you are on the schedule, re-service visits are arranged automatically so you do not need to track the calendar between treatments. If your property is a venue or a commercial account with its own event calendar, we can work around that when we scope the program.
A price agreed before every visit. Clear answers every visit. No shortcuts. Anybody planning ahead in Bloomington can start with our mosquito service list.
Most of the mosquito pressure a yard produces is concentrated in the shaded, vegetated zones along its edges, not across open lawn or in the middle of the patio. Shrubs, hedgerows, the underside of deck boards, and the shaded ground beneath trees are all resting spots that hold adult mosquitoes through the heat of the day.
That is why the barrier spray targets those zones specifically. Treating open turf does little because that is not where the population sits. Treating the foliage and shaded perimeter is what produces the sharp drop in activity that follows a visit.
We apply products according to label directions, and the label directions cover re-entry timing and any preparation the household should make beforehand. Questions about a specific product can be answered on the call. What we will not do is make claims about safety that are not ours to make. The technician will walk through what the label says and what the visit involves before anything is applied.
We run mosquito control programs throughout Bloomington and the communities around it in Hennepin County. If your property is in any of the following areas, you are in our service area.
If your address is not on this list, call and ask. We cover a wide area and can confirm availability for your property on the phone. Coverage is not limited to the towns named here.
Yes. If your property is in a location that map applications do not find accurately, mention it when you call. We work out directions and access details on the phone before the first visit so there is no confusion on the day.
It does. Dense ground cover holds moisture and creates the kind of cool, shaded habitat that adult mosquitoes prefer for resting. Thinning it out reduces the number of resting spots available and makes the barrier spray more effective where it is applied. It is one of the more practical things a homeowner can do between visits.
The barrier spray is not primarily a lawn treatment. It goes into the vegetation and shaded areas where mosquitoes actually rest, which means shrubs, low foliage, and the perimeter zones rather than open turf. Source reduction and larviciding address any standing water in the lawn, but the spray is targeted at resting habitat.
The regional pattern in this part of Minnesota is sudden, heavy brood events tied to standing water that appears quickly after rain. Properties with low spots in the turf, mature vegetation, and any ornamental water features give those broods exactly what they need to develop fast. The inspection step at the start of a program is designed to find those spots before the population builds, and larviciding addresses the water that cannot simply be drained.
Yes. The same recurring program that covers a residential yard scales to commercial outdoor spaces, HOA common areas, restaurant patios, and event venues. The scope is worked out on the call based on the size and layout of the property, and the program is adjusted accordingly.
Call (952) 295-1529 to talk through what a commercial program covers for your specific situation.
Pets should be kept out of the treated area until it is fully dry. The product label sets the re-entry guidance, and we go over what that means before the visit. If you have specific questions about a particular product, those can be answered on the call.
A ditch that holds standing water is a breeding site, and it can feed mosquito populations on your property even when everything on your side of the line is addressed. We note features like that during the inspection and discuss what can realistically be done, including larviciding water that cannot be drained.
The next step is a phone call and a few questions about the yard. We handle the scoping on the call, confirm the rate before anything is scheduled, and get your first visit on the calendar from there.
Call (952) 295-1529 any day between 8:30 AM and 10:00 PM.
