Safe & Effective Mosquito Control on Long Island

Season-Long Mosquito Protection Built for Long Island

Servicing Nassau County | Western Suffolk County | Queens

Mosquitoes can quickly make patios, decks, and backyards unusable during peak season on Long Island. At EM Pest Control, we provide targeted mosquito control designed to reduce activity, interrupt breeding cycles, and help you enjoy your outdoor spaces again.

Based in Uniondale, our prevention-focused approach uses proven treatment methods and a precise 21-day service cycle based on mosquito biology—not guesswork—so protection stays effective throughout the season.

Why Mosquito Control Matters on Long Island

On Long Island, mosquitoes can quickly make backyards, patios, and outdoor spaces unusable during peak season. Warm weather and moisture create ideal conditions for rapid mosquito activity if it isn’t managed properly.

Why mosquitoes become a problem:

  • They reproduce quickly — sometimes needing as little as 1/2 inch of standing water.
  • Activity can escalate fast without consistent control
  • Mosquitoes are known to spread illnesses like West Nile virus and heartworm in pets.

Where Mosquitoes Commonly Develop

Effective mosquito control starts with identifying where they rest and breed around your property. Our technicians focus on:

  • Perimeter Vegetation: Tall grass, shrubs, and shaded foliage
  • Landscaped Areas: Mulch beds, eaves, and areas under decks or porches
  • Standing Water Sources: Birdbaths, planters, fountains, and low-lying areas

Once identified, treatments are applied strategically, and we provide clear recommendations to reduce future mosquito pressure.

Our Mosquito Treatment Process

Our mosquito control program is designed for season-long protection, not temporary relief. We use a targeted approach built around mosquito biology and Long Island conditions to reduce activity and prevent rebound populations.

Our Treatment Approach Includes

  • Synthetic Pyrethroids: Fast knockdown to immediately reduce adult mosquito activity.

  • Essential Oil Repellents: Plant-based repellents like lemongrass and citronella add a secondary protective barrier that’s family- and pet-conscious.

  • IGRs & Larvicides: Interrupt the mosquito life cycle by stopping larvae from developing into biting adults.

  • Targeted Applications: Focused treatment of foliage, shaded resting areas, and known breeding zones.

Why the 21-Day Cycle Matters

Mosquitoes reproduce rapidly. Treating every 21 days allows us to stay ahead of new hatch cycles, adapt to weather changes, and maintain consistent control throughout the season.

Season-long mosquito protection starts here.

For properties with higher mosquito pressure, we also offer the In2Care Mosquito Control System as part of a layered treatment strategy.

In2Care is designed to reduce mosquito populations over time by targeting breeding activity, not just adult mosquitoes. When used alongside our 21-day service cycle, it provides added support in areas where standard treatments alone may not be enough.

In2Care is commonly recommended for:

  • Properties near wooded areas or wetlands
  • Yards with recurring mosquito activity season after season
  • Homes that need enhanced, long-term mosquito suppression

DIY Step

Why It Helps

Remove standing water weekly

Mosquitoes need very little water to reproduce; removing it reduces breeding opportunities.

Keep grass and shrubs trimmed

Reduces shaded resting areas where mosquitoes hide during the day.

Clear gutters and drainage areas

Clogged gutters and low spots often hold unnoticed standing water.

Repair window and door screens

Helps prevent mosquitoes from entering the home.

Improve yard drainage

Directing water away from the property reduces long-term mosquito pressure.

FAQs on Mosquitoes

  • Use insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus.

  • Avoid Peak Mosquito Hours: Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. Plan your outdoor activities outside of these times to reduce your risk of being bitten.

  • Wear Mosquito-Resistant Clothing: Choose long-sleeved shirts and light-colored pants when you’re out during early morning or evening hours. Mosquitoes are drawn to darker colors, so keeping your wardrobe bright can help deter them. Also, avoid heavily scented lotions, shampoos, and perfumes that could attract these pests.
  • Install screens on windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out of your home

While simple DIY steps—like eliminating standing water or using over-the-counter repellents—can offer temporary relief, they often fall short of providing long-lasting protection.

Over-the-counter products may offer short-term relief, but they don’t address breeding activity or provide lasting control. Professional treatment focuses on both active mosquitoes and future populations.

No. As long as we have access to the yard, treatments can be completed while you’re away. We’ll notify you once service is finished.

No treatment can eliminate mosquitoes entirely, but professional service can significantly reduce activity and make outdoor areas far more comfortable throughout the season.

Yes. Our treatments are applied to mosquito resting areas and are designed to be family- and pet-conscious when used as directed. We’ll review any precautions with you before service.

Mosquito activity typically begins in late spring and continues through early fall, with peak pressure during warm, humid summer months. May-October.

No. As long as we have access to the yard, treatments can be completed while you’re away. We’ll notify you once service is finished.

Mosquitoes reproduce quickly and can migrate from nearby areas. That’s why ongoing treatments and prevention measures are important for maintaining consistent control.
