Mosquito Control in St. Augustine, Jacksonville & St. Johns

Mosquitoes are far more than an annoyance in St. Augustine, Jacksonville & St. Johns. They are a legitimate public health concern. Florida consistently ranks among the top states in the country for mosquito-borne disease transmission, and our region is home to several species capable of carrying serious illnesses. The Asian tiger mosquito and the yellow fever mosquito, both common in St. Johns, Duval, and Clay Counties, are known vectors for diseases including West Nile virus, Eastern equine encephalitis, Zika virus, and dengue fever. While the risk of contracting these diseases from a single bite is relatively low, the cumulative exposure that comes from living in a high-mosquito area increases the risk over time.

What makes mosquito control particularly challenging in our region is the environment itself. St. Augustine, Jacksonville & St. Johns receives an average of 50 inches of rainfall per year, and our flat terrain means water collects easily in low-lying areas, ditches, gutters, birdbaths, flower pot saucers, and even bottle caps. A female mosquito needs only a tablespoon of standing water to lay her eggs, and those eggs can hatch in as little as 48 hours. This means that after every rain event, new breeding sites appear across your property. Without consistent treatment, mosquito populations rebound quickly.
