Mosquito Control in Oklahoma City

Posted by Mosquito Squad

July 5, 2024

If you're an Oklahoma resident, you are vulnerable to being overwhelmed by mosquitoes. This is especially a problem at dusk and after sunset, which is the part of the day mosquitoes love best. As the sky grows darker, it may seem impossible to escape swarms of these small, biting insects. Mosquito Squad can help with our professional mosquito control solutions.

Why do I need mosquito control services in Oklahoma City?

Anyone who has ever suffered a mosquito bite (and let's face it - who hasn't?) knows how annoying they can be. But did you know that they are also capable of spreading potential diseases, even here in the United States?

  • West Nile Virus: This is the most common mosquito-borne illness in the U.S. While many people don't show symptoms, some get flu-like problems such as fever, headaches, and body aches. In rare cases, it can cause serious brain issues.
  • Eastern Equine Encephalitis: Though less common than West Nile, this disease is much more severe. It can make your brain swell, causing high fever, stiff neck, and confusion. In the worst cases, it can even be deadly.
  • Zika Virus: While not as widespread as it was several years ago, Zika is still a concern. It can cause mild symptoms like fever and rashes, but it's most dangerous for pregnant women. Zika can harm unborn babies, leading to birth defects.
  • Heartworm Disease: This is one issue that your pets are particularly vulnerable to. Mosquitoes can give dogs (and sometimes cats) heartworms, which are dangerous parasites that live in the heart and lungs. Infected pets may cough, have trouble breathing, and lose weight. It is costly to treat.

There are other less common mosquito-borne diseases in the U.S. and even more worldwide. If you're traveling internationally, it's important to be prepared.

Even mild illnesses from mosquito bites aren't fun to deal with. That's why controlling mosquitoes is so important – it helps protect you and your loved ones from getting sick.

How can I control mosquitoes in Oklahoma City?

In Oklahoma, mosquitoes thrive during the warm, humid months from late spring to early fall. They breed in standing water, even in tiny amounts. In fact, even a bottle cap's worth of water is enough to sustain several hundred larvae. To keep your home from becoming a mosquito paradise, Mosquito Squad has developed two incredibly effective options:

  • Our most popular option, our signature protective barrier treatment, targets where mosquitoes hide and breed. It takes care of both adult mosquitoes and their larvae, and lasts for up to 21 days. In those three weeks, this treatment can reduce the mosquito population in your yard by up to 85-90%.
  • If you prefer a gentler approach, try our natural treatment. We use a blend of essential oils that smell great and is also effective for mosquito control.

Both of these treatments are available as part of our subscription plan. When you subscribe, a technician will come to your property every 21 days to reapply the treatment. This way, you get continuous protection without having to remember to schedule appointments.

Special Event Protection

  1. You can give us a call so we can learn about the date of the event, the nature of your mosquito problem, and any other important details. (This is also when you'll be able to get your free quote!)
