Reduce Biting Activity and Protect Outdoor Spaces
Mosquitoes thrive wherever standing water and shaded foliage create breeding and resting zones. Effective mosquito control requires more than fogging — it requires identifying breeding sites, treating resting areas, and interrupting the mosquito life cycle through targeted applications.
Pestcom Pest Management provides professional mosquito control services designed to reduce active populations and help prevent new waves from emerging.
Why Mosquito Problems Start
Mosquito activity is driven by two main factors:
- Standing water where eggs and larvae develop
- Shaded foliage and structures where adult mosquitoes rest during the day
Common breeding and resting sites include:
- Bird baths, planters, clogged gutters, and yard drains
- Irrigated turf, low spots, and poorly drained areas
- Dense shrubs, patio covers, pergolas, and fence lines
Eliminating these zones is the key to long-term mosquito control.
Our 5-Step Mosquito Control Procedure
- Inspect water sources and foliage zones
- Treat resting foliage where adults harbor
- Apply larvicides to treatable standing water
- Provide a water-management checklist for the property
- Schedule periodic re-service during peak mosquito months
This layered approach targets mosquitoes at multiple stages so populations don’t rebound.
Our Mosquito Control Strategy
Inspection
We locate:
- Standing water sources
- Shaded resting areas
- High-activity zones near patios, doors, and yards
Targeted Treatments
- Foliage treatments where adult mosquitoes hide
- Larvicides in breeding water
- Perimeter treatments to reduce migration toward living areas
Ongoing Maintenance
Seasonal treatments keep populations suppressed throughout warm months when mosquitoes are most active.

Why Mosquito Control Matters
Mosquitoes are more than a nuisance. As blood-feeding insects, they are known carriers of multiple diseases that affect both humans and animals.
Some mosquito-borne illnesses include:
- West Nile virus
- Zika virus
- Dengue fever
- Malaria
- Yellow fever
Reducing mosquito populations lowers bite pressure and reduces exposure risks for families and pets.
What to Expect From Treatment
- Quick reduction in biting activity
- Continued improvement as breeding sites are controlled
- Customized service based on yard conditions and pressure
Treatments are designed to be effective while remaining safe for families, pets, and outdoor use.

- Repair irrigation leaks and avoid puddling
- Use fans on patios to disrupt mosquito flight
- Store containers upside down when not in use

Mosquitoes In Boise
Mosquitoes can be found just about anywhere. They thrive inside and outside — in cold environments and hot ones. And they are located in nearly every corner of the planet, including Idaho.
In Idaho, you can find several types of mosquitoes. The most common species in Idaho include:
- Culex pipiens. This species is a common vector for the West Nile virus.
- Aedes vexans. Known for its aggressive biting behavior, this mosquito is often found near floodwaters.
- Aedes dorsalis. These mosquitoes are typically found in salt marshes and other coastal areas.
- Anopheles freeborni. This mosquito is a potential vector for malaria, though malaria is not common in Idaho.
- Culex tarsalis. Another vector for the West Nile virus is often found in agricultural areas.
You can find mosquitoes in your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, yard, or even in the walls of your home. Our team of Boise-based pest technicians are experts in mosquito control. We know where mosquitoes like to hide and how to get rid of them quickly.

Understanding the Mosquito Lifecycle
Mosquitoes develop in four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Control is most effective when multiple stages are addressed.
- Eggs are laid near standing water
- Larvae live in water and feed on organic matter
- Pupae develop before emerging as adults
- Adults bite and reproduce
By treating standing water and resting zones, mosquito populations are reduced before they can multiply.
