Mr. Mister Mosquito Control
Why You Need Mosquito Treatment
The extent of your mosquito problem depends on many factors. Homeowners who live near slow-moving water or whose homes a butt forested areas will have higher mosquito populations. If your yard is messy or overgrown, or if your gutters are clogged, you may also have larger swarms.
But even if you maintain your yard, you may find at times that it’s just not worth going out. At Mr. Mister Mosquito Control, we think that’s a shame, and we never want you to sacrifice outdoor fun just to steer clear of mosquitoes. That’s why we offer top-notch mosquito control solutions in Georgia and throughout the Atlanta Metro Area.
Mosquito Control Safely
We know that many homeowners are concerned about the safety of mosquito control solutions. That’s why we are committed to your safety, above all else. Of course, just removing mosquitoes from your yard is a huge health benefit for you and your pets. You no longer have to worry about mosquito-borne illnesses or infections that can come from scratching mosquito bites until they bleed. (Children and pets may often scratch open mosquito bites, leaving them vulnerable to infections.) But even with the health benefits of living mosquito-free, you can’t ignore the safety issues arising from the treatments used to eliminate the mosquitoes.
Unfortunately, there are many mosquito sprays on the market that are dangerous to more than just mosquitoes. Many of the available chemicals can be very dangerous to humans if used improperly. That’s why we strongly recommend against attempting to spray for mosquitoes yourself. Instead, let our trained and experienced technicians do their job and keep you safe.
Mr. Mister doesn’t use anything toxic. The spray we use is EPA-approved and 100% biodegradable. It is safe for adults and children and is even safe for pets.
Atlanta, Georgia, USA - Mosquito Facts
Georgia’s hot, humid weather and mild winters make it a haven for mosquitoes. The weather here also means that Georgia has one of the longest mosquito seasons in the continental U.S., second only to South Florida and the southern half of Texas. While the start of mosquito season varies slightly from year to year, as soon as daytime temperatures start peaking above 50º mosquitoes become active. In Georgia, that’s usually early March. As the higher temperatures sweep through the state from south to north, Canton often hits ideal mosquito weather by the second or third week of March.
The most common mosquito species in Atlanta, Georgia, USA are Aedes, Culex, and Anopheles mosquitoes. Unfortunately, between those three, almost every time of day is an active period for mosquitoes. That’s why you can’t afford to do nothing about the mosquitoes in your yard. Without mosquito control, mosquitoes will take over your yard, making it impossible to enjoy what could be a lovely summer.

How to Keep Your Family Safe from Mosquitoes
Did you know that mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on the planet? Many people imagine that some sort of wild animal—perhaps bears, alligators, or tigers—would be responsible for the most deaths. However, diseases carried by mosquitoes are the cause of more deaths than any other creature on earth. Malaria alone sickens millions of people every year and kills over 400,000, mostly children under the age of five. Malaria is rarely a concern in Atlanta, GA, United States. But other mosquito-borne diseases can still put you, your family, and your pets at risk right in your own backyard.
If you have pets, you should be especially concerned about mosquito safety. Local mosquito populations are known to carry heartworm. It usually starts with wild canine species like foxes, coyotes, and even wolves. When a mosquito bites an infected canine, it can become infected with larvae. When that same mosquito bites your pet, the mosquito larvae can infect your dog. As the disease mature and spread in your dog’s bloodstream and lungs, they can cause severe disease and even death. The only way the bacteria can spread is by mosquito bites. So the only completely foolproof way to avoid heartworm is to avoid bites. Heartworm disease is the greatest concern when it comes to mosquitoes biting your dog . This disease is caused by a worm that lives in animals’ hearts and veins. Heartworm disease spreads when a mosquito bite infected animals and then bites a second animal. Heartworm offspring can be carried from one creature to the next. Once inside your cat or dog, it can grow to a foot long. This is why we use only safe spray for pets so that they can be safe from mosquitoes as well as any residue left over from our mosquito spraying and fogging.

Our commitment to community doesn’t end there. As mosquito control experts, we care about mosquito-borne illness around the globe.

Just a single net can save the lives of dozens of children, and we have donated lots of them.
Mosquito treatment is usually an integrated effort involving reduction plus the use of chemical control products when needed to get rid of skeeters. Since mosquitoes develop in water, source reduction targets and eliminates water sources favorable for mosquito breeding and larvae. While breeding ground reduction is the more effective long-term approach to mosquito treatment, the mosquito treatment plan may require using chemical products to supplement source reduction top provide high quality mosquito control.

Atlanta, Georgia Mosquito pest control service
Effective, efficient, and environmentally proper mosquito control organizations conduct their operations of applying pesticide based on surveillance to ensure that the application will have maximum effect on mosquitoes with minimal effect on the environment. Timed release of pesticides into the environment, with no biological surveillance or human decision making to assess the need and impact, is NOT a part of a responsible mosquito control application. Therefore it is against good mosquito control practices to advocate automatic release of pesticides simply based on a timer.
