Reclaim Your Outdoor Living Space

When mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks take over your yard, enjoying summer becomes nearly impossible. Our comprehensive mosquito, flea, and tick control service provides reliable protection, allowing you to fully enjoy your property again. With our mosquito, flea, and tick control program, you'll experience a dramatic reduction in biting pests throughout the entire season.

Our Proven Protection Process

We follow a meticulous approach to ensure maximum effectiveness:

  1. Thorough property inspection to identify breeding sites
  2. Strategic barrier applications targeting mosquito, flea, and tick resting areas
  3. Monthly treatments from April through September
  4. Optional treatments are available during other months on request
  5. Choice between conventional and 100% organic solutions
  6. Customized treatment plan for your specific landscape

The Guys in Purple employs Virginia state-certified technicians who carefully inspect your landscape during every visit. Our 6-part program provides continuous protection when mosquitoes are most active, enabling you and your family to safely enjoy outdoor activities throughout the summer. If you notice fleas, ticks, or mosquitoes returning between visits, we'll retreat at no extra cost to you. We understand that effective mosquito control isn't just about comfort—it's about protecting your loved ones from potential health risks.

Total Yard Protection Against Ticks, Fleas, and Mosquitoes

Our comprehensive biting insect barrier treatment protects your entire family from dangerous disease-carrying pests. Children and pets are particularly vulnerable to tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease when playing in untreated yards. Our professional tick exterminator team targets breeding areas and applies treatments that interrupt the lifecycle of ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes before they become a threat. With monthly treatments from April through September, we maintain continuous protection against Virginia's persistent biting insects, even during the heaviest activity periods when conventional store-bought solutions fail. Our certified technicians inspect your entire property during each visit, ensuring complete coverage for lasting protection.

Family Protection Without the Worry

At The Guys in Purple, our barrier applications use family-friendly formulations that let you enjoy your outdoor spaces with confidence. We carefully select products and application methods that minimize exposure to children, pets, and beneficial wildlife while effectively targeting mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks.

What Brings the Biters to Your Yard

Mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks don't randomly choose your backyard for summer gatherings. They're attracted by specific conditions you might unknowingly provide. According to the American Mosquito Control Association, removing standing water can reduce mosquito populations by up to 90% on residential properties.

Why Professional Treatment Makes Sense

Many homeowners attempt DIY solutions before realizing the complexity of proper pest management. Effective control requires understanding pest life cycles, proper application timing, and targeted treatment methods. When you handle basic lawn maintenance yourself but struggle with persistent pest issues, professional treatments offer a strategic advantage.

What attracts these pests to Virginia yards

  • Standing water in gutters, toys, or bird baths (mosquito breeding sites)
  • Dense vegetation, tall grass, and leaf litter (tick harborage areas)
  • Wildlife visitors like deer, squirrels, and raccoons (carrying ticks)
  • Shady, humid areas with organic debris (ideal flea environments)
  • Carbon dioxide and body heat from humans and pets (attractants)

The Prevention Advantage

Recurring monthly treatments from April through September provide consistent protection when these pests are most active. Professional barrier applications create a protective zone around your property, delivering long-lasting abatement without the guesswork of DIY methods. The right professional approach means you'll spend more time enjoying your yard rather than constantly researching and applying treatments yourself.

Many homeowners find that scheduled professional services eliminate the frustration of ineffective store-bought products while providing expert monitoring for changing conditions throughout the season. Our specialists can answer your most common questions about keeping your family protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?

Yes, of course! Your safety is our top priority. We use products and application methods that are designed to be effective and produce results, while also being safe for humans, pets, and the environment when used as directed. Our technicians are trained to apply treatments with care and responsibility.

How soon can I expect to see results?

Many customers notice a significant drop in mosquito activity within 24–48 hours after the first treatment. Consistent service helps maintain control all season long.

What about my vegetable garden?

We take special care around edible plants and can adjust our treatment plan to protect your garden areas.

What if it rains after treatment?

Once dried, the product should be effective for 30 days. We typically expect rainfall during the month-long active period.
 

Will mosquito treatment get rid of all mosquitoes?

No treatment can eliminate 100% of mosquitoes, but our program dramatically reduces their population and activity around your home, making your outdoor spaces much more enjoyable.

Will this work for my pool area?

Pool areas are common mosquito breeding spots. Yes, professional treatments are much more effective in these areas than DIY solutions, which typically only last 1-2 days.

Do you offer organic as well as conventional treatment programs?

We offer both traditional, synthetic options, as well as organic treatments that are safe for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

If I get the service, will my yard be totally weed/insect free?

It is impossible to obtain 100% control of all insects and weeds. Our applications will dramatically minimize the risk of these pests appearing in the yard and damaging the landscape.

What I appreciate is that they will call/text a day(s) before to set the date and also when they are in route so I can put dogs inside. They remember to shut gates properly. They worked with me on treatments when I had a young puppy (avoiding certain areas puppy had access too).
