Biting Pests Are Ruining Your Outdoor Time

Nothing ruins a backyard BBQ in Eagle, kids running through the sprinkler in Meridian, or a quiet evening on a Boise Foothills patio faster than swarms of mosquitos and other biting pests. Beyond the itch, these pests carry real health risks for your family and pets.

We couldn't use our backyard without getting eaten alive. After Green Guard's mosquito treatment, we've had BBQs, birthday parties, and the kids play outside every day. It's like we got our yard back!

Know Your Enemy: Mosquito & Outdoor Pest Control Facts

Identification

Our Lawn & Mosquito Program targets all biting outdoor pests common across Ada and Canyon Counties: Mosquitos (Culex and Aedes species, plus floodwater mosquitos near the Boise River), Ticks (Rocky Mountain wood ticks and American dog ticks), Fleas (often brought into yards by squirrels, raccoons, and deer), Chiggers (tiny mites causing intensely itchy bites), No-see-ums (biting midges around shaded, moist areas), and other crawling, biting insects that make outdoor living miserable.

Behavior & Habits

Mosquitos breed in standing water and are most active at dawn and dusk. In the Treasure Valley, the worst breeding sites we see on yard walk-throughs are irrigation ditches, low spots that flood after a sprinkler cycle, and wet ground along the Boise River corridor. Ticks wait on tall grass and shrubs (common along Greenbelt trails and Foothills properties) to latch onto passing hosts. Fleas survive in shaded lawn areas waiting for a host.

Health & Property Risks

Mosquitos can transmit West Nile virus and other diseases. Ticks carry Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other serious illnesses. Fleas cause allergic reactions and can transmit tapeworms to pets and humans. Chigger bites cause intense itching lasting weeks.

Warning Signs You Have an Infestation

  • Multiple itchy bites after spending time outdoors
  • Mosquitos swarming around your patio or deck
  • Finding ticks on yourself, family members, or pets
  • Pets scratching excessively from flea bites
  • Avoiding your own backyard due to biting pests
Our Process

How We Solve Your Pest Problem

A proven, three-step approach to complete pest elimination

01

PROPERTY ASSESSMENT

We walk your yard to flag breeding sites, high-activity zones, and the watering or drainage habits that pull biting pests in. On Treasure Valley properties, that usually means checking irrigation boxes, dog runs, and shaded shrub beds first.

  • Standing water identification
  • Vegetation assessment
  • High-traffic area mapping
02

FINE MIST TREATMENT

Our technicians apply a fine mist spray and fog treatment across your full lawn and landscape, hitting the shaded spots where mosquitos rest in the heat of the day.

  • Full yard coverage
  • Shrub & vegetation treatment
  • Perimeter barrier application
03

BAIT STATION PLACEMENT

Mosquito bait stations placed at key spots provide ongoing knockdown between visits and target breeding females, not just adults you see.

  • Long-term mosquito reduction
  • Targets breeding populations
  • Monthly maintenance included

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our mosquito & outdoor pest control services

Our Lawn & Mosquito Program targets mosquitos, fleas, ticks, chiggers, no-see-ums, biting midges, and other biting and crawling outdoor insects. It's specifically for outdoor biting pests, not ornamental plant pests like aphids or mites.
Once the treatment has dried completely, typically 30 minutes to an hour depending on conditions, your yard is safe for family and pets to enjoy. We recommend staying inside during application and until surfaces are dry.
We provide monthly treatments during peak Treasure Valley biting season (May through October). That cadence keeps protection steady as products break down naturally and new mosquito broods hatch from nearby irrigation water.
Our treatment dramatically reduces mosquito populations on your property, typically by 85 to 90 percent. Since mosquitos can fly in from neighboring lots and Ada County waterways, we can't promise 100 percent elimination, but most Boise and Meridian customers tell us they're back in their yards within a week.
We can treat around (but not directly on) vegetable gardens. Let us know during scheduling, and our technicians will skip edible plants while still protecting your outdoor living areas.
No. This service targets biting pests that affect people and pets, like mosquitos, ticks, and fleas. Ornamental pest control addresses pests that damage plants, like aphids, scale, and spider mites. If you need both, we can put together a combined plan.
Yes. We run the Lawn & Mosquito Program across the full Treasure Valley, including Eagle, Star, Kuna, Middleton, Caldwell, Nampa, Boise, Meridian, and Garden City. Properties near canals, ponds, or pasture irrigation tend to need the program most.
