Mosquito Control

Residential mosquito control is essential in Georgia to protect your family, home, and outdoor enjoyment from mosquitoes, which are among the most dangerous insects in the world because they can spread serious diseases such as Zika virus, West Nile virus, malaria, and other illnesses, and may cause severe birth defects and neurological disorders. Professional mosquito control programs, like Forsyth Exterminating’s customized treatments performed every 3–4 weeks from March through October in the Atlanta area, combine inspection, removal of stagnant water breeding sites (such as ponds, pools of water, and containers that collect rainwater), and the use of larvicides on larval habitats with adulticides that quickly knock down adult mosquito populations to reduce both health risks and nuisance biting. Homeowners can support these services by eliminating standing water, installing pumps or fountains in ponds to keep water moving, and using natural mosquito-repelling plants such as citronella, lemon thyme, catnip, and rosemary around doors and outdoor living areas.  In addition to our traditional treatment methods, Forsyth Exterminating also offers mosquito traps that use green control methods to target ONLY mosquitoes.  Our programs provide environmentally conscious control and prevention.
