Residential Mosquito Treatment in Tempe for Homes and Yards

Good Tempe mosquito control starts with knowing why mosquitoes show up: warm weather, watered landscaping and monsoon puddles give them plenty of places to breed. The city’s own pest guide calls mosquitoes a regional issue, warns that they can transmit West Nile virus and heartworm in dogs, and points residents to Maricopa County Vector Control.
We are locally owned and operated, based in Phoenix, and family owned since 1986. Our mosquito spraying in Tempe focuses on the places mosquitoes breed and rest, so you can use your patio and backyard comfortably again. Residential service never requires a contract, and our technicians are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division.

  • Why It Matters

Why Treat Your Yard

Maricopa County Environmental Services, which serves Tempe, traps mosquitoes weekly year round and tests Culex for West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis, and Aedes aegypti for dengue, chikungunya and Zika. Countywide, 182 mosquito samples tested positive for West Nile in 2025 and 186 in 2026 through November 2 (county figures, not Tempe-specific).
Our climate is dry much of the year, yet mosquitoes need only a little water. Monsoon storms from June through September can leave water in buckets, low spots and clogged drains, and a few days of standing water is often enough for a new batch of larvae. Pool equipment, irrigation lines and landscaping features can keep that going all year, and they are easy to overlook.

How Tempe's Water Shapes Mosquito Season

Water is a big part of the mosquito picture here. The City of Tempe provides flood irrigation to 17 city parks and about 850 residential customers, maintaining more than 37 miles of irrigation mains and about 14,500 deliveries a year. Water is delivered starting at 10 p.m. Sunday and can take several days to finish, with no water in November or December due to the SRP dry-up. Puddles that linger after a delivery are worth a look.
Weather matters too. In March 2015, Maricopa County fogged Tempe and Tolleson neighborhoods earlier than normal after a wet winter left standing water and more than 370 mosquito complaints. If you have a pond or water feature, Maricopa County Vector Control offers mosquito-eating Gambusia fish free of charge, and we can treat the yard around it.

  • Our Method

How Our Treatment Works

Step 1
Property Assessment
Our licensed technicians start by inspecting your property for breeding spots, standing water and the shaded areas where adult mosquitoes gather.
Step 2
Breeding Site Elimination
Next we point out water sources that can produce mosquitoes, such as clogged drains, irrigation leaks, forgotten containers and landscape features that hold water.
Step 3
Yard Treatment
We then treat the foliage, shady corners and landscape spots where adult mosquitoes rest during the day. Product goes onto those resting surfaces instead of being sprayed broadly into open air.
Step 4
Barrier Maintenance
Repeat visits keep a protective barrier in place around your outdoor spaces and noticeably cut down mosquito numbers through the active season.
Step 5
Prevention Recommendations
Your technician also shares tips for removing the breeding conditions specific to your property and our desert climate.
