Welcome to OpKill Pest Control’s page on Mosquito Control and Prevention in Phoenix.
OpKill Pest Control specializes in residential mosquito control across Phoenix and the metro valley area. Arizona hosts a variety of mosquito species, active during both day and night. While most active from February through November, mosquitoes are a year-round nuisance in Arizona. Our services effectively reduce mosquito populations near your Phoenix-area home or business. With convenient locations in Phoenix and Gilbert, we serve the entire metro area, including Mesa, Peoria, Avondale, and Scottsdale.
Mosquitoes, known for their irritating bites, pose significant public health risks by transmitting diseases like West Nile Virus, St. Louis Encephalitis, and Zika Virus in Arizona. Taking proactive measures to control mosquitoes can greatly minimize the risk of infection.
Our approach
Understanding Mosquito Infestation
Mosquitoes thrive in standing water, a common occurrence year-round in Arizona. Even the smallest amounts, such as water from dripping outdoor faucets, birdbaths, backyard ponds, and neglected pools, serve as ideal breeding grounds for these pests.
Why opkill?
At OpKill Pest Control, we employ a scientific approach to manage mosquito populations effectively. Our skilled technicians meticulously inspect and treat areas where mosquitoes rest and breed. Common resting places include the eaves of homes and areas with fallen foliage. For areas with unavoidable standing water, like birdbaths, our technicians provide expert recommendations for treatment and prevention.
While we have a strong track record in reducing mosquito populations, it’s important to note that sometimes the source of mosquitoes may be beyond our control. Given their flying range, mosquitoes in your yard could originate from neighboring areas.
Preventing and Protecting Your Home
Preventing Mosquitoes in Phoenix
Prevention is key to keeping mosquitoes at bay. Regular property maintenance plays a crucial role; clearing dead foliage, cardboard, pool toys, garbage, and other debris minimizes hiding spots for mosquitoes.
Eliminating standing water is another critical step. Properly treating pools and ensuring birdbaths are maintained can drastically reduce mosquito breeding opportunities.

Mosquitoes can enter homes and businesses through open windows and doors. Ensuring screens and weatherstripping are secure is essential. During mosquito season, especially from dusk to sunrise when they are most active, keeping windows and doors closed can significantly reduce the likelihood of mosquitoes indoors.
