Mosquitoes bite, annoy people, and carry harmful diseases, making them a pest that nobody wants on their property. Unfortunately, Southern California has more than 50 established species, including non-native species that have moved in over the past several years.

Southern California Mosquito Species
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 eliminating 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 eco-friendly options. We offer a range of organic 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.
