Mosquito Control in Southwest Ranches, FL for Acreage, Barns and Nurseries

Mosquito Control in Southwest Ranches

Southwest Ranches is wide-open by Broward standards: large lots, horse properties, plant nurseries, ponds and canals, all set between Davie, Cooper City, Pembroke Pines and Weston. That adds up to a lot of mosquito habitat. Water troughs, ponds, drainage swales and low spots in pastures hold water after storms. Nurseries with rows of potted plants and daily irrigation create thousands of tiny water sources. Tree lines, hedges and barns give adult mosquitoes shade during the day.

Because lots are big and neighbors are spread out, the mosquitoes biting you on the porch may be breeding anywhere on several acres, not just next to the house. During the rainy season, from late spring into fall, numbers can build quickly after a run of afternoon storms. Families, horses, dogs and livestock all feel it, and the evening hours when people ride, feed or sit outside are often the worst.

Horses, Livestock and Home Nurseries

Tell us about your animals and where they eat, drink and rest, and we'll plan around stalls, paddocks and water sources. If you grow plants commercially or keep lots of potted stock, the pots, saucers and drip lines can be a major breeding source. We'll show you which spots matter most and how to manage them between visits, such as tipping pots after rain and checking low spots in the growing area.

Simple Steps Between Visits

Scrub and refill troughs regularly, and use a trough that drains fully when you clean it. Flip wheelbarrows and buckets. Keep tarps on hay and equipment tight so they don't pool water. Fill low spots in pastures that stay wet for days. Clear gutters on the house and barn. Keep grass and brush trimmed near the house and around the paths you walk at dusk. These steps make each treatment last longer.
