How to get rid of mosquitoes in your yard: start with standing water, then limit how they reach your home. Roanoke yard help: (540) 632-8124. A weekly yard check can address breeding spots that even a professional yard treatment will not permanently remove.
DIY steps to try first
Empty and scrub containers weekly
Check birdbaths, buckets, plant saucers, toys, and unused pools. CDC recommends emptying and scrubbing water-holding items, not simply topping them up.
Cover water you need to keep
Secure rain-barrel and storage-container covers so mosquitoes cannot get inside. Turn unused containers upside down.
Repair the indoor barrier
Fix damaged door and window screens and avoid propping exterior doors open. Check indoor containers, including plant saucers, for standing water.
Do not add random chemicals to ponds or drains. Any mosquito-control product must be labeled for the pest and location and used exactly as directed.
