How Much Do Mosquitoes Cost?
WouterDepending on the pest control method used, the cost of mosquitoes can vary. In addition to the amount of mosquitoes in your yard, the type of property and the severity of the infestation can affect the overall cost.
A one-time treatment for an average home on a quarter-acre property can cost between $400 and $500. A commercial property may cost more because of the need for extra materials. It is a good idea to check with your local pest control company to determine the cost of your mosquito problem.
Fumigation, which is used for pest infestations inside your home, can cost around $115. This method involves closing multiple rooms and using a highly concentrated pesticide. It takes longer to break down than standard sprays.
Briquets, which are placed on the surface of water, are another treatment. These briquettes are used to kill mosquito larvae. These briquettes are available in home improvement stores.
Another treatment method is a synthetic pesticide spray. This type of spray is not toxic to fish or aquatic plants. Unlike pesticides for home use, this method does not leave residue.
A one-time spray for a small infestation can cost between $75 and $100. For a large infestation, you may need a series of treatments.
The cost of mosquito control is affected by the type of property, size of yard and the severity of the infestation. A small infestation around a single breeding site may cost between $75 and $200, while a larger infestation can cost between $500 and $1,000.
