Denver Mosquito Control

Mosquitoes are a serious problem for Denver residents, and Mosquito Squad is committed to helping fight back.

Why Do I Need Mosquito Control in Denver?

Though Denver may be the Mile High City, mosquitoes aren't bothered by elevation. Every year, they are responsible for the spread of multiple diseases, which can be quite mild or very severe. Mosquito-borne diseases that have been identified in Colorado in recent years include the following:

  • West Nile virus: According to the CDC, though every state had at least a handful of confirmed West Nile Virus infections in 2023, Colorado was hit the hardest with nearly 700 cases. 132 of these cases resulted in severe neurological problems, and 50 ended in death. This trend doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. Though West Nile Virus is typically asymptomatic or mild, complications and fatalities are possible. 
  • Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE): Though relatively uncommon, this disease has become more prevalent as the mosquito season lengthens. Most people will not develop symptoms, but some will experience fever and brain swelling. Of these symptomatic cases, around a third will result in death.
  • Zika Virus: Although confirmed Zika virus cases in the United States have declined in recent years, it is important to remain vigilant. Zika typically presents mild symptoms like fever, rash, headache, and joint pain. Pregnant women are most at risk due to the potential for severe birth defects as a result of a Zika infection.
  • Heartworm: This disease infects at least 100,000 dogs each year. It is caused by parasites that enter the bloodstream and take up residence in the heart and lungs. By the time your pet exhibits symptoms, the disease is in its later stages, and treatment is costly and time-consuming.

Mosquito Control in Denver

During the months of peak mosquito activity, you can take action to avoid being bitten with a few protective measures at home. The most important thing is to get rid of any sources of standing water, like puddles, containers that can collect rain, and other yard items. If you're spending time outdoors, wear long sleeves and a mosquito repellent containing DEET. Avoid spending too much time outside at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are at their liveliest.

Each of these steps will help, but for robust protection, you'll need something with a little more kick. Mosquito Squad's mosquito control solutions have been proven effective and can reduce mosquitoes by up to 85-90%. You'll see these results for up to 21 days of treatment if you use either of our two treatments, which includes both a barrier protection spray and a natural essential oil spray.

It's easier to deal with a problem if the solution is convenient. That's why our subscription plan is designed to make mosquito control effortless. With this plan, you'll receive regular visits from a technician every three weeks so that we can help keep you protected throughout the season.

For special occasions like parties, weddings, or outdoor gatherings, we offer one-time, on-demand special event sprays. These sprays keep mosquitoes at bay, allowing your guests to celebrate in comfort and without the annoyance of pesky insects.
