Mosquito Control in Long Island City
Queens County Pest Control provides licensed mosquito control for Long Island City homes and businesses.

Our Long Island City programs combine standing-water source reduction, targeted larviciding, and barrier treatments on the shaded foliage where adult mosquitoes rest.
Mosquito Pressure in Long Island City
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.
