Mosquito Control in Elmhurst
Queens County Pest Control provides licensed mosquito control for Elmhurst homes and businesses. The northern house mosquito (Culex pipiens) and the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) are the primary biting mosquitoes in Queens County. Our Elmhurst programs combine standing-water source reduction, targeted larviciding, and barrier treatments on the shaded foliage where adult mosquitoes rest.
Mosquito Pressure in Elmhurst
Mosquitoes need only a small amount of standing water to breed — clogged gutters, catch basins, neglected pools, tarps, and any container that holds water for a week. Culex mosquitoes, the primary West Nile virus vector in Queens County, favor stagnant, organically rich water; the Asian tiger mosquito breeds in small artificial containers and bites aggressively during the day. Activity builds from May, peaks in the heat of mid-to-late summer, and tapers through October.
