Mosquito Control in Miami, FL for Shaded Yards and Bay-Side Homes

Mosquito Control in Miami

Miami's older neighborhoods have some of the densest tree canopy and most tropical landscaping in South Florida. Coconut Grove's yards are thick with banyans, palms and bromeliads, and Little River and the Upper Eastside have mid-century homes with big trees and lush gardens. Bromeliads in particular hold water in their cups and can breed mosquitoes all year.

Along Biscayne Bay, from Edgewater to Coconut Grove, waterfront homes and condos face mosquitoes from bay-side vegetation and mangroves. The rainy season, from late spring into fall, refills every container daily. In neighborhoods like Little River and Little Haiti, many homes have backyard gardens, fruit trees and container plants, and the small water sources in those yards produce more mosquitoes than most people expect. Container-breeding mosquitoes here often bite during the day, not just at dusk.

Coconut Grove Gardens

Grove gardens are beautiful, but bromeliads and dense shade make them mosquito havens. We treat the resting areas and bromeliads and show you which containers to manage. In older Grove homes with deep porches and courtyards, the shade under the overhang is another resting area we treat. For bay-side homes in Edgewater and the Upper Eastside, the seawall plantings and the shady side of the house get the most attention, and treatment stays on your property's vegetation. For small yards in dense neighborhoods, we work the side yards, the area behind the AC unit and under stairs, where mosquitoes rest out of the sun.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

We'll tour the garden with you, dump what we can and set a monthly schedule.
