How to Get Rid of Mosquitoes in Your Backyard

To get rid of backyard mosquitoes, remove standing water where they breed and treat the shady, humid areas where adults rest. Professional barrier treatments knock down the adult population and typically keep a yard protected for about three to four weeks per application.

Steps you can take today

• Empty or refresh standing water — buckets, saucers, gutters, and birdbaths.
• Keep grass and shrubs trimmed to reduce shady resting spots.
• Fix drainage so water doesn't pool after rain.

How professional treatment works

A barrier treatment targets the leaves and shaded areas where mosquitoes rest during the day, cutting the population fast. Because it wears off over a few weeks, treatments are repeated through mosquito season for continuous protection.
