Mosquito control in the San Fernando Valley
Mosquito control brings the mosquito pressure on your property down. It does not clear the whole neighborhood, and nobody can honestly promise that. We fog the undersides of the leaves where mosquitoes actually rest during the day, use a growth regulator so the ones still flying cannot reproduce, and place In2Care stations that let the mosquitoes carry larvicide back to breeding sites you would never find. We inspect for standing water, identify what species is active, and build a plan around your property instead of a generic fogging schedule.

- 101
Inspect and identify
We check the property for standing water and breeding sites and identify which species is active, since Aedes and Culex mosquitoes behave differently and call for different placement.
- 202
Install and treat
We place In2Care stations in the right spots and fog the shaded landscaping, working under the leaves where mosquitoes rest, with a growth regulator mixed in so survivors cannot breed. Depending on the size of the yard, fogging can do as much as the stations or more, and most properties do best with both.
- 303
Maintain the stations
We return on a recurring schedule to refill and check the In2Care stations and reapply treatment, since mosquito control only holds up with ongoing maintenance.
What we use, and where
In2Care stations use no chemicals or pesticides at all, the larvicide inside is toxic only to mosquito larvae and is carried out by the mosquitoes themselves, so it does not harm bees, butterflies, birds or pets. The contact treatment we fog into the landscaping is environmentally friendly and breaks down, and it is fine around kids and pets once it has dried.
Mosquitoes by month
Peak months for mosquitoes in the Valley, from our own route records.
Most Valley yards with a real mosquito problem do best pairing In2Care stations with a Hybrid treatment schedule through the warm months. "Fogging kills what is flying today, the stations go after tomorrow's mosquitoes too," says Sam Karbelnig, owner.

What mosquitoes customers say
I have been using Facility Pest Control for many years. They have been the best decision for me and my family to keep pests and mosquitoes away from our home. Always on time, always friendly, and the treatments work.
Honorable, honest, efficient and provide fair pricing. Someone is always available to help and the techs (Juan cares for our home) are also wonderfully adept. Sam, who I believe is the owner, is always incredibly kind, considerate, patient and informed. We have NOT been bitten ONCE at our home since Facility began in the spring, and we have neighbors on either side of us with green, mossy pools. We are even able to enjoy sitting outside in the mornings and evenings now. So grateful we stumbled across this company. Highly recommend!
They helped us with a protracted roach problem. The owner took the time to talk through the issue with us for a long time. He was the only company that said we didn't need to get on a multi year contract. They ended up coming three times and I haven't seen new roaches for months. Thank you for your excellent customer service and thoroughness.
Mosquitoes questions, answered
What are the most common mosquito species here?
Southern California has more than 50 established species, but Aedes and Culex are the two you will notice most. Aedes bite aggressively during the day, Culex bite at dusk and overnight, and both call for a slightly different placement of stations and treatment.
What are the signs of a mosquito problem on my property?
Daytime bites, evening bites, and standing water sitting in gutters, pots, old tires or a birdbath are the main signs. Mosquitoes breed anywhere water sits for more than a few days, so removing those sources is half the battle.
How do I stop mosquitoes from breeding on my property?
Remove standing water wherever you can, clogged gutters, old containers, unused pots, and change birdbath or pet bowl water weekly. For water you cannot get rid of, like a pond, our In2Care stations and treatment plan pick up where prevention leaves off.
What is the benefit of In2Care over regular spraying?
In2Care stations use the mosquitoes' own biology against them, a female picks up larvicide at the station and carries it back to breeding sites we would never find, like a clogged gutter or a shaded drain. It works alongside treatment instead of replacing it.
Is your mosquito control safe for bees and other pollinators?
Yes. In2Care stations are self contained and toxic only to mosquitoes, so bees and butterflies are not affected. Our non toxic yard treatment is applied to resting areas, not blanket sprayed, which keeps exposure to pollinators to a minimum.
How does mosquito control actually work here?
We inspect for standing water and identify the species present, then combine In2Care station placement with a non toxic contact treatment on shaded landscaping and resting areas. Stations get refilled and treatment gets reapplied on a recurring schedule through the season.
When is mosquito season in the Valley?
Activity generally runs from around April through October, picking up fastest after warm, wet stretches. Most of our mosquito customers go on a Hybrid plan for the season rather than calling only after a bad weekend outside.
Will this get rid of every mosquito?
No, and anyone who promises that is not being straight with you. We can bring the activity on your property way down, but mosquitoes travel, and a bite can easily come from a neighbor's yard or from a walk around the block. A bite can also take a couple of hours to show up, so the place you feel it is often not the place you got it. What we control is your property.
What is the difference between fogging and the In2Care stations?
Fogging treats the undersides of the leaves where mosquitoes rest during the day, and we mix in a growth regulator so the ones that survive cannot reproduce. Each In2Care station covers up to about 4,000 square feet and goes after breeding sites you cannot see. Depending on your yard size, fogging can be as effective as the stations or better, and most yards do best with both.

Some of the more common types of mosquitoes in Southern California include the following:
Aedes Mosquitoes
There are multiple species within the aedes genus, and they’re the most common type found in our state—with 27 different varieties of them living in California. You may hear them referred to as floodwater mosquitoes because they lay eggs in places that are expected to fill up with water. As adults, this kind of mosquito can bite people pretty aggressively and can spread many types of disease: from yellow fever to dengue, chikungunya, and more. They also spread heartworm in dogs.
Culex Mosquitoes
This is the second most common type of mosquitoes in Southern California with 12 species found in our state. Although they aren’t as troublesome in the daytime, they bite at dusk and during the night.
Anopheles Mosquitoes
Five different species of anopheles are found in California. What’s especially dangerous about them: they are the only known carrier of malaria.
Culiseta Mosquitoes
Four different species of culiseta are found in California. The biggest problem: some of them really like to bite.
Mosquito Prevention Techniques
Water is crucial for mosquitoes, no matter what stage of the life cycle—egg, larva, pupa, or adult—they’re in. So, by controlling whatever sources of standing water that you can on your property, and reducing what you can’t get rid of, you can make your home and yard less hospitable to them.
For example, make sure that you get rid of any water that’s collected inside of barrels and buckets, old tires, toys, and clogged rain gutters. Don’t leave water in your pets’ bowls outside when they’re not in use. If you’ve got a fish pond, remove excess vegetation around it and consider adding mosquitofish to the pond. If you have a birdbath, change the water weekly to get rid of any mosquito larvae.
Other strategies include wearing clothing that covers exposed skin, including arms and legs. Hats are available with netting for the face and head if needed. Use an EPA-registered repellent; when using sunscreen, apply that first and then put the insect repellent over that. When possible, stay indoors when mosquitoes are most active. Also, if you have any reason to believe that you or a loved one has become ill because of a mosquito bite, seek medical attention promptly.

Mosquito Control Services
No matter how careful you are, you may well find mosquitoes on your property. After all, these critters appreciate the California climate. So, if you find that your mosquito prevention techniques simply aren’t enough, be proactive in reaching out for help. The sooner a professional pest control company begins treatment, the better.
Our process involves an inspection of your Southern California property; an identification of the species there; and the creation of a mosquito control program that best fits your challenges.
At Facility, we have three mosquito control methods that we use to rid your yard of these pesky pests which can also be quite dangerous. And, no matter what pest control services you need, ask us about our environmentally friendly options. We offer a range of natural and green services to protect your property and our planet, so please ask us about the low-toxic or non-toxic choices that would be right for you.
In2Care Mosquito Treatments
We offer the innovative In2Care Mosquito Trap System that targets mosquitoes at both the adult and larval stages. This system uses green ingredients to attract female mosquitoes, which lay their eggs in the water and then carry the In2Care trap’s larvicide to other mosquito breeding sites in the area around the trap. The active ingredients in the trap include a biological fungus that’s toxic only to insects and doesn’t harm birds or your pets.
The In2Care Mosquito Trap we install on your property is designed to control the dangerous Aedes aegypti species in particular and attracts the Culex mosquito species as well. Your Facility Pest Control technician will be glad to answer all of your questions about this safe, effective method of mosquito control for your home.
Apart from the above product, we also offer fogging of yards and regular spraying for efficient mosquito prevention.

The Rapid Response Phase (0–10 Seconds)
Unlike traditional natural products that function solely as repellents, this methodology utilizes a high-impact contact formula. It delivers 100% "knockdown" power within 10 seconds, neutralizing active mosquito populations instantly. Within one hour, the process achieves a full biological kill, ensuring the environment is cleared of active threats.
The "Outdoor Living" Shield (Dual-Action Protection)
The treatment extends beyond mosquito control to provide a comprehensive shield against fleas. This dual-action approach is specifically engineered for homes with pets, creating a secure perimeter that protects both the landscape and the inhabitants.
The FIFRA 25(b) Safety Standard
Safety is treated with clinical precision. As a FIFRA 25(b) exempt product, the formula relies on EPA-approved essential oils rather than harsh synthetic chemicals. It is 100% biodegradable and safe for plant life, allowing for the aggressive treatment of "hot spots," such as thick shrubbery and shaded ivy, without the risk of landscape damage.
The Sensory Signature & Immediate Access
The "Fresh Scent" experience replaces the traditional chemical odor of pesticides with a refreshing cinnamon-mint fragrance. This serves as a sensory signal of a clean, professionally treated space. Because the formula is eco-conscious and non-synthetic, families and pets can safely return to their outdoor activities the moment the spray dries.
