Mosquito Control in Northbrook

Enjoying Outdoor Living Without the Bites

In Northbrook, the arrival of warmer weather should mean barbecues, gardening, and evenings on the patio. However, for many residents, it also marks the return of aggressive mosquitoes that can turn outdoor enjoyment into a frustrating battle against bites. Beyond the annoyance of constant itching, mosquitoes in our area pose a genuine health concern, carrying diseases like West Nile Virus that threaten the safety of our families and pets. Dense vegetation and standing water, common in suburban landscapes, often create the perfect breeding grounds, making professional intervention essential.

The Danger of Mosquitoes in Our Area

Mosquitoes are frequently cited as the deadliest animals on earth due to their disease-carrying capabilities, and while the risks in Northbrook aren't the same as in tropical climates, they are still significant. The Culex mosquito, common in Illinois, is the primary vector for West Nile Virus, a serious illness that can affect people of all ages. Additionally, mosquitoes can transmit heartworm to dogs and cats, posing a direct threat to your beloved pets.

• Disease Transmission: The risk of West Nile Virus and other encephalitis strains increases as the summer progresses, making consistent control vital.
• Allergic Reactions: For many, especially children, mosquito bites lead to severe swelling, itching, and secondary infections from scratching.
• Quality of Life: The mere presence of swarming mosquitoes can render patios, pools, and gardens unusable, trapping families inside during the best months of the year.
• Rapid Reproduction: Mosquitoes can breed in as little as a bottle cap full of water, meaning populations can explode exponentially after a single rainfall if left unchecked.

Understanding these risks highlights why mosquito control is not just about comfort—it is a matter of health and safety for your household.

Our Mosquito Reduction Approach

At Aerex Pest Control, we understand that eliminating every mosquito is impossible, but significantly reducing their population to manageable levels is achievable with the right science-backed approach. We focus on breaking the lifecycle of the mosquito, targeting both the adults that bite and the larvae that are waiting to hatch. Our goal is to create a protective barrier around your property using the safest methods available.

• Property Inspection: We identify and treat high-risk areas such as dense shrubbery, tall grass, and under-deck areas where adult mosquitoes rest during the heat of the day.
• Larvicide Application: We target breeding sites—like standing water in gutters, birdbaths, or low-lying yard spots—with biological larvicides that stop mosquitoes before they develop wings.
• Barrier Sprays: Our targeted misting applications create a zone of protection that repels and eliminates mosquitoes on contact, providing relief for weeks at a time.
• Event Services: We also offer one-time treatments for special outdoor events, ensuring your guests are remembered for the fun they had, not the bites they received.

We use only products registered by the Environmental Protection Agency, ensuring our treatments are safe for your family and the environment while being tough on pests.
