BOOK YOUR MOSQUITO FOGGINGMosquitos are humans ancient predators that have been around longer than we have, and that’s a good thing, because we know so much about them and how to manage them. Versa-Tech’s mosquito control services include fogging, water treatment and luring/trapping with bait stations. Each service can be done separately, however, the best results are obtained by combining services. We offer both residential and commercial mosquito services.
UNDERSTANDING MOSQUITO BEHAVIOR
Thriving in temperatures between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit, Southern California mosquitoes are a year-round issue. Mosquitoes know a lot about humans and how to find us. Female mosquitos are attracted to carbon dioxide, body heat, perspiration, and body smells to find a host and can harbor in a water source as small as a bottle cap and well as an overwatered lawn. Adult mosquitos typically live about 7 days, some up to two months in the right conditions, and most mosquito species have flight ranges of 1-3 miles and can fit through door jambs and even window and door screens.
While we can’t stop a mosquito from landing on you, we can reduce and control populations for a more comfortable space.
DANGERS OF MOSQUITOES
One of California’s most dangerous pests, mosquitos are biting insects that can potentially transmit serious diseases including West Nile and Zika viruses, which can cause severe health issues for humans. To protect your home and family, turn to a trusted mosquito exterminator company like Versa-Tech®. We’ll bring our expert pest technicians and best mosquito removal practices to ensure your home or business is protected from mosquitoes all year long.

OUR MOSQUITO TREATMENTS INCLUDES INDOOR AND OUTDOOR MOSQUITO FOGGING, BAIT STATIONS, AND WATER TREATMENTS
FOGGING TREATMENT
A mosquito fogging treatment knocks down existing adult mosquitoes in the service area and provides residual control for the contacted surface areas. The chemical residual is effective for 30-60 days indoor and about 30 days outdoor, depending on exterior factors such as irrigation or types of plants and plant density. Mosquito fogging can be done indoors and for exterior mosquito treatments, we use a gas-powered backpack fogger than reaches up to 20 ft high and out.
As adult mosquitoes feed on nectar from plants, aphid honeydew, and plant juices, being able to reach up and into trees is key for a successful fogging. An exterior fogging is directed to get inside brush and shrub areas, through ground cover like ivy. The fog settles on leaves, branches, vines, any surface it touches to leave the residual behind and as the fog is applied, it also kills existing adult mosquitoes.
For interior fogging for office spaces, we use an electric ULV machine. An Interior fogging has the same basic concept as exterior, except the treatment is focused on higher perimeter areas, corners and around lighting. Indoor planters and waterscapes are also a concern.
INDOOR & OUTDOOR FOGGING
While mosquito fogging treatments can be done both indoors and outdoors, the most common is outdoors, especially for residences. We also treat restaurant outdoor dining areas, and outdoor product sales areas. We can fog any exterior space, residential or commercial, and a fogging treatment is the best way to knock down existing mosquito activity on a property and provide extended residual mosquito prevention and control.
EXTERIOR MOSQUITO FOGGING
An exterior mosquito fogging service works in three ways. First, it provides a repellant barrier for your location that helps keep new mosquitos away. Next, it provides an immediate knock down that kills existing mosquitos, and lastly, it provides residual control that will help control any mosquitos that contact the residual. A mosquito fogging treatment focuses on where mosquitos like to harbor, including shaded areas under plants such as bushes, trees, eave areas, under patio furniture and patio covers, ground cover and leaf build up under plants, trash cans and many more.
In addition, we also target exterior use areas such as pools, patios, BBQ areas, kids play areas and other similar spots around your house. We can reach about 20 feet up into trees. Areas around windows and doors are also treated to help keep mosquitos away from entry areas leading inside and we can even fog in the garage.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR AN EXTERIOR FOGGING
Prior to a fogging treatment, we prepare the exterior by removing items we can’t treat such as pet dishes, tableware, food service items, towels, and certain kids and pet toys. We also make sure all windows and doors are closed prior to treatment.
Importantly, while there are many variables that go into the length of the fogging treatment effective time, typically exterior fogging treatments are effective anywhere between 5-21 days before another treatment is needed. Frequency also depends on client expectations and use of the property. Most areas require two exterior fogging treatments per month for best results, with some locations requiring treatment more often. Amount of green landscaping, lawn areas, shaded areas,and off property factors such as drainage channels and more are all factors that affect the length of effectiveness.
NOTICE: WE DO NOT OFFER A WARRANTY ON ANY MOSQUITO FOGGING SERVICE – NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE TO ELIMINATE ALL MOSQUITO ACTIVITY. IT IS ABOUT CONTROL.

INTERIOR MOSQUITO FOGGING
Interior mosquito fogging treatments are generally done for larger facilities such as warehouses, office areas, construction sites, or other similar areas. We can also perform interior fogging treatments of a residence. In most cases, some minor preparation is needed prior to treatment. We use a ULV fogging system that emits a light mist onto surface areas. The service performs in two ways: An instant knock down followed with a residual treatment.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: The interior areas treated need to be vacated at time of service and for at least 4 hours after treatment ends.
MOSQUITO BAIT STATIONS
Mosquito stations kill both adult females and the larva of the Aedes mosquito. Aedes are the biggest transmitter of viruses to humans and are also the most conducive breed of mosquito to human environments. They are attracted to small man-made breeding sites and have a unique egg-laying behavior spreading eggs over several sites.
How Mosquito Bait Trap Works: The trap is not actually trapping the mosquito. Once inside the station the mosquito will make contact with the gauze, become contaminated with the larvicide, and then move to lay eggs at another site.
As the contaminated mosquito lays eggs from site it is also contaminating those sites and killing off all of the larvae and pupa. The original contaminated adult mosquito is dead within 2 to 4 days. Stations are placed in shaded areas and close to attractive sites like bushes and trees. Station density is 1 station for every 400 msq or about 10 per acre. Average 1600 sq ft home needs 2-3. Lastly, mosquito stations are focused on the female mosquito because they are the ones that bite. The more females around, the more males are likely to gather.
WATER MOSQUITO TREATMENTS
Water treatment mosquito service is designed to eliminate the larva that develop from mosquito eggs. It takes about 7 days for a mosquito to make it from egg to adult. We treat the water with a tablet or granular that releases a larvicide over time. Before the larvae have time to make it to adult hood, they are killed off by the larvicide. This is the recommended treatment for ponds, fountains, unmaintained pools, sump pump areas, and drainage locations.
