🦟 Mosquito Control in Broward County, FL

Mosquitoes are a year-round challenge in Broward County, but pressure peaks dramatically during the rainy season from May through October. South Florida receives 60 or more inches of rain annually, much of it falling in intense summer thunderstorms that create standing water breeding sites throughout residential neighborhoods — in clogged gutters, low spots in lawns, tarps, planters, birdbaths, and AC condensate drains. Standing water as shallow as a bottle cap can produce hundreds of mosquitoes in 7-10 days. Broward County's warm temperatures mean mosquito development from egg to adult can occur in as little as a week.

The mosquito species of greatest public health concern in Broward County is Aedes aegypti — a small, striped day-biting mosquito that breeds in small containers around homes and is the primary vector for dengue fever, Zika virus, and chikungunya. Broward County Mosquito Control manages public areas but does not treat private property — making professional residential mosquito control essential for homeowners who spend time outdoors.

How We Treat Mosquitoes in Broward County

• Vegetation barrier spray — residual applied to shrubs, trees, and shaded areas where adult mosquitoes rest during daylight hours; effective for 21-30 days
• Larvicide applications — Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) dunks and granules applied to ornamental water features, French drains, and standing water that cannot be eliminated
• In2Care mosquito trap systems — autocidal gravid ovitraps that attract and eliminate Aedes aegypti without broad insecticide use; effective for container-breeding species
• Breeding source elimination audit — comprehensive inspection to identify and address all standing water sources on the property before treatment
