Quick Facts About Mosquitoes & Wasps
- Mosquito season in Oklahoma: Active from warm spring weather through fall.

Mosquito Control: Why Mosquitoes Love Your Yard
Mosquitoes need standing water to breed and shaded, humid places to rest. Even a small amount of water—like a bottle cap or a plant saucer—can be enough for them to lay eggs. Oklahoma's warm, wet spells can bring a rapid increase in mosquito populations.
Common Breeding Spots Around Edmond Homes
Why Mosquito Control Matters
Mosquito bites itch and can ruin outdoor family time. Furthermore, mosquitoes in Oklahoma can carry serious viruses such as West Nile virus. While professional treatment significantly reduces mosquito activity and bites, no treatment can guarantee a 100% mosquito-free yard.
How Our Mosquito Treatment Works
Inspect
We walk your yard to find breeding sites and resting areas, such as shrubs, fence lines, shaded patios, and tall grass.
Reduce Sources
We advise you on which standing water sources to dump, drain, or fix around your property.
Treat Resting Areas
We apply a professional barrier treatment to foliage and shaded outdoor surfaces where mosquitoes rest.
Treat Standing Water
Where water cannot be removed, we apply an eco-safe larvicide that targets mosquito larvae directly.
Protect Pollinators
We carefully avoid spraying flowering plants and take strict precautions around beneficial bees and home gardens.
Repeat Schedule
Because treatments have a limited residual life, we recommend a consistent seasonal schedule (typically every 3 to 4 weeks).
Wasp, Hornet and Stinging Insect Control
Not all stinging pests behave the same way. Knowing what you are dealing with is crucial for safe and effective removal. Here is a quick guide to common stinging insects in the Oklahoma area:
What it looks like: Slender with long legs, brown or reddish coloring.

What to Do (and Not Do) if You Find a Nest
If you discover a wasp or hornet nest on your property, following these critical guidelines ensures your safety while preventing aggressive reactions from the colony.
- Keep children and pets safely away from the nest area.
- Take a photo from a safe distance if you need help identifying the insect.
- Stay calm and move away slowly if wasps are flying around you.
- Close nearby windows and doors until the nest is professionally treated.
- Move away calmly if approached—avoid swatting or running wildly.
- Don't spray the nest with water, gasoline, or fire. It is extremely dangerous and makes wasps aggressive.
- Don't seal the nest entrance (especially in exterior walls). Trapped wasps will chew their way into your home.
- Don't swat at wasps or run wildly, as sudden movements trigger attacks.
- Don't try to knock down a large or high nest by yourself.
Stings: Safety and First Aid
- Move away: Immediately move away from the nest area to avoid multiple stings.
- Clean the area: Wash the sting site with soap and water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and gently remove a honey bee stinger if present.
- Monitor symptoms: Watch for spreading swelling, hives, or pain that progressively gets worse.
- Emergency care: Call emergency services right away if someone has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, dizziness, a fast heartbeat, or has been stung many times.
- Allergies: People with known insect allergies should always carry their prescribed medication (like an EpiPen) and seek immediate medical care.

How to Reduce Mosquitoes and Stinging Insects Around Your Home
Taking proactive steps around your property can significantly lower pest activity:
Empty standing water in buckets, saucers, toys, and bird baths at least once a week.
Clean gutters and make sure water drains properly away from your house foundation.
Trim shrubs and keep your grass short to reduce cool, humid resting areas for mosquitoes.
Keep trash cans closed tightly, as wasps are heavily attracted to food, garbage, and sugar.
Seal gaps under eaves, vents, and soffits where queen wasps look to build early nests.
Check sheds, grills, playsets, mailboxes, and outdoor furniture for early nests each spring.
Use patio fans when sitting outside, as mosquitoes are notoriously weak fliers.
Cover outdoor drinks and food containers when dining or relaxing in your yard.
