The Mosquito Threat in the Glenview Area
Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance; they are a public health concern in our region. Illinois often reports cases of West Nile Virus, a disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. Understanding their behavior is key to effective control and protecting your family.
The mosquito life cycle is heavily dependent on water. Even a small amount of stagnant water in a bottle cap is enough for a female to lay hundreds of eggs.
Common breeding sites around a home include:
- Clogged gutters and downspouts
- Birdbaths, fountains, and pet water bowls
- Children’s toys, tarps, and unused flower pots
- Poorly drained areas in the lawn or landscaping
- Tire swings and other items that collect rainwater
By identifying and eliminating these standing water sources, you can disrupt the breeding cycle. However, controlling the adult mosquito population that flies in from neighboring areas requires a more comprehensive treatment strategy to effectively protect your yard.
Our Comprehensive Mosquito Management Program
At Aerex Pest Control, we utilize an integrated approach to mosquito control that targets these pests at every stage of their life cycle. Our program is designed to provide maximum effectiveness and lasting relief throughout the season, while prioritizing the safety of your family and pets.
Here’s what our professional mosquito service entails:
- Detailed Property Inspection: Our service begins with a thorough inspection of your yard to identify active mosquito resting areas and, most importantly, locate potential breeding sites where water accumulates.
- Targeted Larvicide Application: We treat identified areas of standing water that cannot be easily removed with a larvicide. This eco-friendly product eliminates mosquito larvae before they can mature into biting adults, stopping the problem at its source.
- Barrier Spray Treatment: We apply a fine mist of an EPA-registered product to the foliage of trees, shrubs, and other resting sites for adult mosquitoes. This application creates a protective barrier that eliminates active mosquitoes and helps prevent new ones from entering.
- Ongoing Client Education: We provide you with a detailed report of our findings and offer practical tips for minimizing mosquito breeding grounds on your property, empowering you to help maintain a mosquito-free environment between treatments.
Our expertly trained and certified technicians at Aerex Pest Control ensure that every application is performed correctly and safely, providing you with a comfortable and more enjoyable outdoor space.
DIY Mosquito Control vs. Professional Treatment
While citronella candles and store-bought sprays can offer temporary relief in a small area, they are largely ineffective for controlling a property-wide mosquito problem. These DIY methods only repel mosquitoes for a short time and do nothing to address the root cause of the infestation.
A professional treatment program is far more comprehensive. Experts are trained to identify and eliminate the hidden breeding grounds you might overlook, which is the most critical step for long-term population reduction. Without addressing these sources, new mosquitoes will constantly emerge.
Furthermore, professionals have access to specialized, higher-grade products and application equipment. This allows for a more effective and durable barrier around your property that significantly reduces the mosquito population for weeks at a time, providing more consistent and reliable protection.

Most treatments in Glenview remain effective for 21–30 days, depending on weather conditions and property details. We recommend maintenance service for continuous protection.

Our mosquito spraying uses EPA-registered products, applied precisely to minimize any risk. We ask that pets and children remain indoors until products dry, which normally takes about 30 minutes.

In Glenview, mosquito spraying must comply with Cook County and Illinois Department of Public Health regulations. We follow all required procedures and maintain necessary certifications.
What can I do between treatments to help reduce mosquitoes?
Regularly remove standing water from gutters, plant pots, and birdbaths. Trim overgrown shrubs and keep lawns tidy to reduce mosquito resting sites and increase treatment effectiveness.

How can I prevent stink bugs in the future?
We have put together a list of stink bug prevention tips to help you keep stink bugs out of your home.
- Make it as difficult as possible for stink bugs to move into your home by sealing any openings in the exterior, placing covers over vents, and caps on chimneys.
- When possible, place gardens and fruit trees as far away from the walls of your home as possible.
- Cut tree branches and shrubs back away from the outside walls of your home; stink bugs will use their branches to access your house.
- Rake back leaves from your foundation and store woodpiles away from the immediate perimeter of your home. Stink bugs will hide under both.
- Turn off outdoor lights when they aren't needed because stink bugs are attracted to light. If possible, trade out regular white outdoor lights for LED or yellow lights that are less attractive to insects.
