Mosquito Control in Coral Gables, FL, From Cocoplum to the Historic Core

Mosquito Control in Coral Gables

Coral Gables is one of the greenest cities in South Florida, with a famous street-tree canopy of banyans, oaks and royal palms shading the historic neighborhoods around the Biltmore, the Granada and Riviera golf courses and the city's original 1920s streets. That shade keeps yards cool and humid, which is exactly where mosquitoes rest during the day. Gardens full of bromeliads, fountains and potted plants add water sources close to the house.

South of the historic core, Cocoplum and the other waterfront neighborhoods sit on canals and bay frontage along Biscayne Bay, with mangroves, docks and lush landscaping. Waterfront lots there see mosquito pressure from both the yard and the mangrove shoreline. The Coral Gables Waterway and the canals running through the city connect much of it to the bay.

What We Treat for Mosquito in Coral Gables

• Seawall, dock and mangrove-facing plantings in Cocoplum
• Shady yards under banyans and oaks
• Bromeliads, fountains and planters
• Courtyards, loggias and pool areas
• Boats and covers on waterfront lots

Cocoplum and Waterfront Homes

In Cocoplum, we focus on the seawall plantings, docks, side yards and the shady areas closest to the house and pool, and we check boats, tenders and covers for standing water. Treatment stays on your property's vegetation with the bay and mangroves in mind. Because waterfront homes there get pressure from the shoreline, monthly service is especially helpful, and we work within your community's gate and access process. Coral rock walls and planters in older gardens can also hold water in their crevices.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

We arrange access and walk the yard. Cocoplum owners can arrange gate access ahead of time. We walk the seawall, dock and gardens with you, check boats and fountains and set a monthly schedule. In the historic core, show us your prized plantings so we can work around them.
