Mosquitoes — Control & Prevention in Metro Atlanta & North Georgia
From March through October, mosquitoes can make a North Georgia backyard unusable — and they're more than a nuisance. Mosquitoes transmit West Nile virus and other serious illnesses, and they breed in as little as a bottle cap of standing water.
Forsyth Exterminating's mosquito program combines property inspection, breeding-site elimination, larvicides for standing water, and barrier treatments applied to the shaded foliage where adult mosquitoes rest. Treatments repeat every three to four weeks through the season, keeping populations knocked down when they'd otherwise peak. For customers who prefer a chemical-free approach, we also offer trap systems that target only mosquitoes.
Signs You Have a Mosquito Problem
- Getting bitten in your own yard, even in daytime
- Standing water in gutters, plant saucers, toys, or low spots
- Shaded, damp foliage near patios and decks
- Neighbors' untreated water features nearby
How We Solve It
Property inspection
We identify breeding sites — standing water, clogged gutters, low spots — and the shady resting areas adults use.
Eliminate breeding
We remove or treat standing water with larvicides so mosquitoes never take wing.
Barrier treatment
A misting treatment on foliage and shaded areas knocks down adults and keeps repelling them between visits.
Seasonal cadence
Visits every 3–4 weeks, March through October, keep protection continuous — with green trap options available.
Keep Them From Coming Back
- Tip and toss standing water weekly
- Keep gutters flowing and downspouts clear
- Run a pump or fountain in ponds and water features
- Trim dense vegetation where mosquitoes rest

Mosquitoes FAQs
How long does a mosquito treatment last?
Barrier treatments remain effective for roughly three to four weeks, which is why our seasonal program repeats on that cycle from March through October.
Is mosquito treatment safe for pollinators?
We time and target applications to resting areas — not blooms — to minimize impact on bees and beneficial insects, and we offer mosquito-specific trap systems as a green alternative.
Will one treatment fix my yard for the summer?
One treatment gives quick relief for an event; season-long comfort requires the recurring program, because mosquitoes re-infest from surrounding areas.
