Florida is famous for its outdoor living, but mosquitoes can quickly turn a backyard BBQ or a walk in the park into a miserable experience. Beyond the itchy welts they leave behind, mosquitoes are “vectors”—meaning they carry and transmit dangerous diseases to humans, pets, and livestock.

At Pest 911, we provide professional mosquito abatement services across Marion County and The Villages. Our goal is to reclaim your yard so you can enjoy the Florida sunshine without the fear of bites or illness.

Why Mosquito Control is Vital in Central Florida

Mosquitoes have a massive impact on our local economy and health. They interfere with outdoor recreation, cause distress to horses and livestock, and can even lower property values. Because female mosquitoes require a “blood meal” to produce eggs, they are constantly on the hunt for a host.

In Ocala and the surrounding communities, we are specifically concerned with several mosquito-borne viruses:

• West Nile Virus: The most common mosquito-borne disease in the U.S.

• Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE): A serious concern for Ocala’s equestrian community, as it can be fatal to horses and humans.

• St. Louis Encephalitis: A viral disease that can cause inflammation of the brain.

• Zika & Dengue: While less common, these remain a concern for Florida’s tropical climate.

Understanding the Life Cycle

To effectively control mosquitoes, you have to understand where they live.

• The Nursery: Mosquito larvae and pupae are aquatic. They thrive in stagnant water found in birdbaths, clogged gutters, flower pots, old tires, and even hollowed-out tree stumps.

• The Resting Spot: Adult mosquitoes spend their days hiding in tall grass, thick vegetation, and cool, damp places under decks or eaves.

The Pest 911 Mosquito Defense Plan

A single bite can make you sick. That’s why we use a multi-stage approach to drastically reduce the mosquito population on your property:

1. Source Reduction: Our technicians inspect your property to identify and help you eliminate standing water where larvae thrive.

2. Barrier Treatments: We apply a professional-grade mist to the foliage, shrubs, and shaded areas around your home. This acts as a “no-go zone” for adult mosquitoes.

3. Larviciding: For water features or areas that cannot be drained, we use eco-friendly treatments that prevent mosquito larvae from ever becoming biting adults.

4. Special Event Sprays: Planning a wedding or graduation party? We offer one-time treatments to ensure your guests are the only ones at the party!
