Sun’s Out, Bugs Out
Southern California’s year-round warmth creates the perfect environment for mosquitoes to thrive, carrying diseases like West Nile and Zika. Knowing where they breed and rest helps you fight back. We’ve got your solution—fewer mosquitoes, less risk. Here are a few common mosquito species we’d like to help you send packing—appealing to your inner nerd; notice their reservoirs and feeding times:
-
Asian Tiger Mosquito: Aggressive daytime biter. Breeds in small containers (e.g., plant saucers). Spreads Dengue, Zika, Chikungunya.
-
Yellow Fever Mosquito: Bold daytime biter, human-focused. Breeds in tiny water spots (e.g., buckets). Carries Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya.
-
Australian Backyard Mosquito: Invasive daytime biter. Breeds in containers. Spreads dog heartworm.
-
Southern House Mosquito: Night biter (8 PM–midnight). Breeds in dirty water (e.g., drains). Spreads West Nile Virus (WNV).
-
Western Encephalitis Mosquito: Dusk-to-dawn biter. Breeds in ponds/marshes (e.g., foothills). Carries WNV.
-
Northern House Mosquito: Evening biter. Breeds in stagnant water (e.g., neglected pools). Spreads WNV.
Hit Them Where They Breed
Attracted by breath, sweat, and heat, mosquitoes fly distances for a blood meal. Cutting water sources in your yard prohibits them from breeding there—try these DIY tips or grab the Mosquito Source Checklist from GLACVC to stop local breeding. Pair with our treatments for real control:
- Eliminate Small Containers: Aedes lay eggs in tiny spots—pots, birdbaths, buckets, tires. Empty or cover weekly.
- Check High and Low: Clear gutters and drains to stop pooling—key breeding sites.
- Maintain Your Space: Trim grass and plants; remove water-trapping clutter—mosquitoes love shade.

Next-Level Mosquito Control with Janus Pest Management
Our advanced treatments, boosted by your DIY, effectively decrease exposure and risks. Here’s how we help:
- Yard Treatments: We apply targeted sprays—multi-mode action (MOA) chemistry or eco-friendly green repellents—to shrubbery, shady, and moist areas where mosquitoes rest, reducing activity for 4–6 weeks. Schedule a treatment before your next backyard event to ease mosquito bites, or opt for seasonal services for extended relief—your guests will appreciate the extra comfort! Live near the foothills? These sprays also reduce biting black flies and no-see-ums.
- In2Care Bait Traps: These traps curb Aedes breeding continuously, stand-alone, or between treatments. Removing just one female prevents up to 1,000 eggs, and studies show a 30% capture rate can cut populations by 80% over two months. See the image and video below.
-
Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs): Applied to birdbaths, plant saucers, fountains, and exterior drains prevent mosquito larvae from maturing into adults.
