Mosquitoes in southern Utah
Much of St. George doesn't have a serious mosquito problem, which makes the spots that do feel especially unfair. Pressure follows water: the Virgin and Santa Clara rivers, Fort Pearce Wash, golf-course ponds and water features, heavily irrigated lawns, and the puddles and clogged gutters left behind by monsoon storms. Adults rest during the day in shady, humid places like under decks, in dense shrubs, and in tall grass, then come out to bite at dawn and dusk. In the summer heat they can go from egg to biting adult in about a week, and a bottle cap of standing water is enough.
Why it matters
Mosquitoes in Utah can carry West Nile virus, which the Southwest Mosquito Abatement District and state health officials monitor every season. Most bites are just itchy, but reactions can be worse for kids and sensitive people, and a yard you can't use after sunset in August is its own kind of problem.

Are mosquitoes dangerous?
Mosquitoes in Utah can carry West Nile virus, which the Southwest Mosquito Abatement District and state health officials monitor every season. Most bites are just itchy, but reactions can be worse for kids and sensitive people, and a yard you can't use after sunset in August is its own kind of problem.
How do you get rid of mosquitoes?
We follow a straightforward approach: inspect the property for breeding sites and standing water; treat shady resting spots, the undersides of shrubs, and under decks; larvicide water that can't be drained or dumped; repeat through the warm months and advise on what to remove. We use EPA-registered products, applied precisely per label.
What products do you use around kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products, applied carefully according to the label and only where pests travel, not where your family and pets spend time. Before we treat, we'll gladly explain what we're using, how long it takes to dry, and when it's fine to go back into treated areas.

If pests come back between your scheduled visits, we come back too, and we re-treat at no charge. There's no trip fee, no extra invoice, and no back-and-forth about it.
