Mosquito Control in Fort Lauderdale, FL for Canal and Waterfront Homes

Mosquito Control in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is called the Venice of America for a reason. Hundreds of miles of canals wind through neighborhoods like Rio Vista, the Las Olas Isles, Harbor Beach, Coral Ridge and Victoria Park, and the New River runs right through downtown. Most waterfront lots have lush, shady landscaping between the house and the seawall, which is exactly where mosquitoes rest during the day.

Away from the water, older bungalow neighborhoods like Tarpon River, Sailboat Bend and Wilton Manors next door have tight lots, big shade trees, tropical plantings and lots of pots and containers. Container-breeding mosquitoes thrive in those yards. Add the rainy season's daily afternoon storms, plus king tides in the fall that leave water in low streets and swales, and Fort Lauderdale has a long, busy mosquito season.

Canal Lots and Boats

On a canal lot, the shady band of plantings along the seawall and the side yards get the most attention. Boats, tenders, kayaks and their covers often hold rainwater, so we check them every visit. We treat the vegetation on your property only, with the waterway in mind. In bungalow yards, it's usually the bromeliads, pots and fountains that keep mosquitoes going.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

We'll tour the yard, check every boat cover and planter and dump what we can. You'll get a monthly schedule and a note on keeping the yard safe for pets after treatment.
