Residential Mosquito Treatment in Scottsdale for Yards and Patios

Mosquito control in Scottsdale is about more than a comfortable evening on the patio. Sprinklers, pools and summer storms leave water behind, and that is all a mosquito needs to breed. Because West Nile virus circulates in our county, keeping them down around your home is also a way to look after your family.
Our mosquito spraying in Scottsdale focuses on the places mosquitoes breed and the shady spots where adults rest, so your patio and pool area are easier to enjoy. City Wide has been family owned since 1986, is based in Phoenix, and never asks residential customers to sign a contract.

  • Why It Matters

Why Mosquito Management Matters

Mosquitoes spread disease to more people than any other animal, and in our area West Nile virus is the main concern. Maricopa County counted 186 West Nile virus positive mosquito samples countywide in 2026 as of November 2, up from 48 in 2024 (a county figure, not Scottsdale only).
The desert stays dry most months, but summer storms from June through September change that. Any container, puddle or drain that stays wet for several days can start producing mosquitoes. Sprinkler systems, pool equipment and landscape features keep that water around all year, which is easy to miss.

Mosquitoes Around Scottsdale Yards, Lakes and Greenbelt

Scottsdale averages 7.66 inches of rain a year, so much of the standing water around homes comes from sprinklers, pools and planters rather than the sky. Properties near water, such as the 7 man-made lakes of McCormick Ranch or the Scottsdale Greenbelt, about 12 miles of parks and paths along Indian Bend Wash, are worth a closer look for spots where water collects.
Under Ordinance 4606, which the city council adopted 7 to 0 in July 2023, grass turf on new single-family homes is limited to rear yards, so the back yard is where turf and its watering now sit. The county’s mosquito map lists 43 routine county mosquito traps at Scottsdale ZIP code addresses, 31 with a recorded fogging date, most recently in 2021 to 2023, and our technicians still check each yard for its own water sources.

  • Our Method

How We Treat Your Yard

Step 1
Property Assessment
Our licensed technicians survey your property for breeding sites, water sources and the spots where adult mosquitoes are most active.
Step 2
Breeding Site Elimination
We help you deal with water that breeds mosquitoes, such as clogged drains, irrigation problems, forgotten containers and landscape features that hold water.
Step 3
Yard Treatment
We treat foliage, shaded corners and other landscape spots where adult mosquitoes rest during the day. The product goes onto those surfaces rather than being sprayed broadly into the air.
Step 4
Barrier Maintenance
Repeat visits keep a protective barrier in place around your outdoor spaces and hold mosquito numbers down through the active season.
Step 5
Prevention Recommendations
Your technician also shares tips for removing the breeding conditions specific to your property and the desert climate.
