Mosquito Station Maintenance

How the System Works

The Mosquito Station turns mosquitoes into part of the solution.

• A female mosquito enters the station and picks up two active ingredients

  • The active adulticide allows the mosquito to live just long enough (6-12 days) to contaminate nearby breeding sites.

  • Before dying from the adulticide, the female mosquito carries the active larvicide on her body to nearby breeding sites, expanding the area of control and killing multiple generations of mosquitoes.

This method of control creates a chain reaction that eliminates both adult mosquitoes and their larvae, even in places we cannot physically treat.

What to Expect

• Noticeable control typically begins within 7–10 days

• Continuous protection works 24/7, even when we’re not on-site

• Monthly service keeps stations active and effective

• Long-term reduction in mosquito populations over time

This is not a temporary knockdown. It is a system designed for ongoing control and suppression.

What’s Inside the Mosquito Stations?

Each station uses a combination of two highly targeted active ingredients designed specifically for mosquito control:

Pyriproxyfen, an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR)

Insect growth regulators work by disrupting the mosquito life cycle.

• Prevents larvae from developing into biting adults

• Stops future generations before they ever emerge

• Targets insects specifically, not mammals

This is not a harsh, broad-spectrum insecticide. It’s a precision tool that mimics natural insect hormones and is widely used in drinking water reservoirs and public health mosquito programs due to its extremely low toxicity to humans and animals.

Beauveria bassiana a biological control agent

This is a naturally occurring soil fungus used in agriculture and pest control.

• Attaches to adult mosquitoes when they enter the station

• Gradually shortens their lifespan

• Helps spread control to other breeding sites

It’s a biological solution that targets insects only and does not impact people, pets, or wildlife.

Safety: What You Should Know

We take safety seriously, especially for families with kids and pets.

For People & Pets

• Both ingredients are considered low toxicity to humans and mammals

• They are used in very small, contained amounts inside the station

• No broadcast spraying or airborne exposure

If a Station Is Disturbed

• If knocked over, don’t worry, nothing toxic was spilled :)

  • Call, text, or email the office, and we will send a technician by to refill the station.

If Touched

• Brief skin contact is not considered harmful

  • Simply wash your hands as a precaution

If a Pet Drinks From It

• Small, incidental ingestion is unlikely to cause harm

  • At worst, mild stomach upset may occur

• We can relocate stations if a pet shows repeated interest
