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 with targeted applications.
Pestcom Pest Management provides professional mosquito control services designed to reduce active populations and help prevent new waves from emerging throughout the season.
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 or treating these zones is the key to long-term mosquito control.

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. If you are experiencing mosquito problems or if you want to avoid mosquitoes from invading your property, give Pestcom a call.

-
How many visits are typical?Initial setup + 1-2 follow-ups resolves most homes; severe cases may require additional checks and sealing.
-
Will I need interior service or just exterior for rodents?We service both - interior where activity is present and exterior to stop new entry and pressure.
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, rest in shade, and reproduce
By treating standing water where possible and targeting resting zones, populations are reduced before they multiply.
Committed to Protecting Your Home
Our mosquito control programs are designed to be effective while remaining family- and pet-friendly when used as directed. Technicians apply treatments where mosquitoes breed and rest, then reinforce protection through ongoing service and clear prevention guidance.
By combining targeted treatments with habitat management, we help keep mosquito pressure under control throughout the season.
Our Mosquito Control Procedure
- Inspect water sources and foliage zones
- Treat resting foliage where adult mosquitoes harbor
- Apply larvicides to treatable standing water (when appropriate)
- 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 and drainage issues
- Shaded resting areas in shrubs and landscape edges
- High-activity zones near patios, doors, and outdoor living areas
Targeted Treatments
- Foliage treatments where adult mosquitoes rest
- Larvicide applications where breeding water is treatable
- Perimeter guidance to reduce migration toward living areas
Ongoing Maintenance
Seasonal treatments help keep populations suppressed during warm months when mosquitoes are most active.
