Mosquitoes breed in still water — and it takes surprisingly little. Gutters, plant saucers, bromeliads, tarps, and low spots in the yard all hold enough. Florida's rainy season keeps producing new breeding sites weekly, so control is about knocking down the adults and removing the water they're using, on a repeating schedule.
Signs to look for
Bites concentrated in the early morning or evening
Mosquitoes resting on shaded exterior walls, under eaves, or in dense shrubs during the day
Standing water in gutters, plant saucers, bromeliad cups, or tarps after rain
A noticeable increase in activity a few days after heavy rainfall
How [Your Business] treats it
Walk the property to locate and drain standing water — gutters, saucers, low spots, bromeliads
Apply a barrier treatment to vegetation and shaded resting surfaces where adults hide during the day
Treat on a repeating schedule through peak season, since new breeding sites appear weekly in Florida's rainy months
Offer a misting system for properties that want continuous, automated coverage
Why they’re here
Any container that holds water for more than a few days — saucers, buckets, toys, tarps
Dense shrubs, bromeliads, or overgrown vegetation providing shade and shelter
Clogged gutters that pool water after rain
Low-lying yard areas with poor drainage
Prevention tips
Empty standing water from containers, saucers, and toys at least once a week
Clean gutters so they drain fully after rain
Trim back dense shrubs and keep bromeliads flushed
Check tarps and covers for pooled water after storms
