Mosquito Control
Serving Cumming, Forsyth County & Metro Atlanta since 1980 — backed by the Forsyth Promise: if pests come back, so do we.
Why Metro Atlanta Yards Stay Buggy
Georgia’s warm, humid climate gives mosquitoes one of the longest active seasons in the country — roughly March through October, peaking in the hot, sticky stretch from June to September. The aggressive Asian tiger mosquito bites during the day, not just at dusk, and every one of them can breed in as little as a bottle cap of standing water, so even a tidy yard can turn miserable fast.
That’s why a single spray rarely holds. Our seasonal program treats the shaded foliage where adult mosquitoes rest and the standing water where they breed, then repeats every three to four weeks to stay ahead of the next generation — with a green, mosquito-only trap option for homes that prefer no spray.

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
When is mosquito season in Georgia?
In Georgia, mosquitoes are active from roughly March through October and peak in the hot, humid months of June through September. Our seasonal program runs on that window, with treatments every three to four weeks.
How much does mosquito control cost?
It depends on the size of your yard and how much shade and standing water it has, so we start with a free quote. Our recurring seasonal plan is the most popular option, and seniors receive a 5% discount.
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 kids and pets?
Yes. Treatments are applied by licensed technicians strictly to label. We simply ask that people and pets stay off treated areas until they have dried, usually about 30 minutes.
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.
Can you do a one-time treatment before an event?
Yes. A one-time treatment a day or two before a party, wedding, or graduation gives your yard a clear window of relief. For all-season comfort, the recurring program is the way to go.
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.
