Mosquito Service
There are numerous species of mosquitos in the Knoxville area. Male mosquitos
feed on nectar while females feed on blood. Their peak time of activity
is dawn and dusk. During the day mosquitos pass the time hanging from
the underside of leaves on shrubs and trees. Asian Tiger Mosquitos, the
species that has the greatest health concern will rest in lower foliage
(from 1’-8’ off the ground.
Our certified technicians carefully treat the shrubs and trees on your
property to eliminate mosquitos from their daytime resting places.
Pest-Ops also inspects your property for breeding sites that mosquitos
can use. Any standing water may potentially allow eggs and larvae to develop.
We review our findings and show you those locations we identify around
your home and lawn to help eliminate the threat.
Our #1 concern while ridding your home of unwanted bugs and pests is the
health and safely of your family and pets.
