Mosquito Control for Owasso homes
Bird Creek and the ponds in many Owasso neighborhoods give mosquitoes plenty of standing water from May to October.
We serve all of Owasso (74055) in Tulsa County and Rogers County, including Smith Farm, Bailey Ranch, Stone Canyon, and the neighborhoods along Bird Creek. Our technicians work in these neighborhoods every week, so they know where problems start.

About mosquito control in Owasso
Mosquitoes in the Tulsa metro are active from May to October, and the worst areas sit near water. The Arkansas River, Bird Creek, ponds, and drainage ditches give them endless places to breed.
Some Oklahoma mosquitoes, mainly Culex species, can carry West Nile virus. The Asian tiger mosquito also bites during the day. A barrier treatment every few weeks cuts the number of biting mosquitoes in your yard a lot.

- Bites at dusk and dawn, or all day from tiger mosquitoes

How mosquito control works
| Type | What to know |
|---|---|
| Barrier treatment | We treat shrubs, under decks, and shady leaves where adult mosquitoes rest during the day. |
| Breeding site removal | We find and dump or treat standing water so new mosquitoes cannot hatch. |
| Larvicide | Used in water you cannot drain, like a decorative pond, to stop larvae from growing. |
| Repeat visits | Treatments are repeated every 3 to 4 weeks through the season. |
