Mosquito Control in North County San Diego
Quick answer: Daytime bites around your ankles usually mean invasive Aedes mosquitoes, which arrived in San Diego County in 2014. They breed in tiny amounts of standing water and rarely travel far, so the source is almost always your yard or a neighbor’s. Battle Pest Control finds and treats those breeding spots. A yard treatment is $129.
If you’ve been getting chewed up around the ankles in broad daylight, that’s not the mosquito you grew up with. It’s the invasive Aedes mosquito, the small black-and-white striped one that showed up in San Diego County in 2014 and has spread across North County since. It bites during the day and breeds in almost no water: a plant saucer, a toy, a clogged gutter, even a bottle cap. Overachiever.
Here’s the good news. These mosquitoes don’t travel far, usually about 150 yards from where they hatched. If you’re getting bit on your patio, the source is almost always your yard or the one next door.
That’s what I go after. I find every spot on your property where they’re breeding, treat it, treat the shady spots where the adults hang out, and show you what to tip and toss. Your house stops being the problem.
