Who to Call for Mosquito Problems
If mosquitoes are turning your backyard into a no-go zone, the fastest solution is to contact a local professional mosquito control company. In Utah, that means finding a service that understands our specific climate, knows when mosquito populations spike, and uses proven treatment methods that last.
Why local matters:
- Local providers understand Utah’s mosquito season (March through November)
- They can tailor treatments to your property and neighborhood
- You get a direct line to the team, not an out-of-state call center
For homeowners in the Wasatch Front, Skeeter Eater is one of the few companies that combines targeted spraying with scientifically proven In2Care Mosquito Traps. That dual approach means you’re hitting adult mosquitoes now and cutting off breeding at the source.
Why Professional Mosquito Control Works Better Than DIY
You’ve probably seen citronella candles, bug zappers, and “mosquito bombs” at the store. They may give you a little relief, but here’s the truth:
- Store-bought options often target only adult mosquitoes in the moment
- They don’t address breeding grounds you can’t see
- Their effect fades quickly, meaning you have to keep reapplying or rebuying
A professional service does three critical things differently:
- Targets breeding zones you can’t easily reach, like damp soil under decks or hidden standing water.
- Applies treatments at the right time for maximum effectiveness based on mosquito life cycles.
- Uses tools and formulas that aren’t available in retail stores but are still pet and pollinator-friendly.
This isn’t about spraying chemicals everywhere. It’s about a strategic approach that breaks the mosquito cycle.
How Utah’s Mosquito Season Impacts Control Methods
Mosquito activity in Utah ramps up in late March and peaks through summer evenings when temperatures are warm. Different areas have different risk levels depending on:
- Nearby wetlands or water sources
- Shaded, damp areas around your property
- Neighborhood landscaping and irrigation patterns
Because the season stretches into early November, a single spray in May won’t suffice. The most effective services run every three weeks during the active months to maintain consistent suppression.
By timing treatments to match mosquito breeding patterns, you can avoid the “boom and bust” cycle, where mosquitoes disappear for a week and then come roaring back.
What to Expect from a Professional Service Visit
A reliable mosquito control visit isn’t just someone walking around with a sprayer. Here’s how a well-run service works:
- Inspection – The technician walks your property to identify active zones and breeding sites.
- Targeted Spray – Immediate knockdown of adult mosquitoes in shaded areas, shrubs, and resting zones.
- Trap Placement – In2Care Mosquito Traps installed in strategic spots to catch larvae before they mature.
- Follow-Up Schedule – Return visits every 3 weeks for continued suppression through the season.
At Skeeter Eater, every visit is done by a trained local tech who knows exactly what mosquitoes are up to in your neighborhood that week.
Proven Prevention Tips You Can Use at Home
Professional service is the foundation, but you can help your yard stay mosquito-friendly by making it less mosquito-friendly. Start with:
- Dump standing water from buckets, toys, plant saucers, and tarps
- Clean gutters to prevent pooling
- Trim shrubs and grass to reduce shady resting areas
- Check irrigation so you’re not creating damp patches
Even with these steps, mosquitoes can find a way in. That’s why pairing prevention with professional backyard mosquito control works best.

FAQ: Mosquito Control in Utah
Do I need mosquito control if I only get bitten at night?
Yes. Mosquitoes are most active in the evening, but they breed throughout the day. Without treatment, they’ll keep coming back.
How soon after treatment will mosquitoes be gone?
You’ll notice a significant drop in activity within 24 hours, with continued suppression between visits.
Is mosquito control safe for pets and pollinators?
Yes. We use pet and pollinator friendly treatments that still pack a punch against mosquitoes.
How often should my yard be treated?
Every 3 weeks during mosquito season is ideal for keeping populations down.
Can I use DIY sprays instead?
They may help short-term, but they don’t stop breeding. Professional service ensures long-term suppression. If you’re dealing with other pests like midges, our midge fly control may also be needed.
