Mosquito bites aren’t just an annoyance—they can spread viruses and parasites, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
While DIY mosquito-control methods—burning a citronella candle or wearing mosquito repellent—are popular, they’re not strong enough to fend off swarms. And, long-term exposure to commercial mosquito-spray insecticides can be harmful to children, pets, people with chemical sensitivities.
A licensed pest-control service is best equipped to manage the mosquito population around your home. A pest-control company can evaluate your mosquito problem, formulate a plan, and provide a free quote for the cost of their services.
In this guide, you’ll learn about the typical cost to have a pest-control pro eliminate mosquitoes on your property.

Total costs for mosquito control
Mosquito-control companies focus on infestations of adult mosquitoes, their breeding areas, as well as mosquito larvae. The typical price range for professional mosquito control services is $69–212 per treatment, with a national average cost of $120, including labor and supplies.Â
Your total mosquito-control cost will also depend on the size of your property. The average price range is $125–225 per quarter-acre and $150–300 per half-acre.Â
The basic price typically covers spray treatment with pyrethroids, a type of synthetic chemical pesticide (not to be confused with pyrethrin, a related chemical that’s extracted from flowers).Â
Cost of other mosquito-control services
The following mosquito-treatment options may carry an additional charge:
Larvicide briquettes. These are placed in standing water to kill the mosquito larvae hatching there. They release Bti, a natural form of bacteria that harms small pests but isn’t toxic to humans, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Cost: About $75–125 per treatment.
Mosquito fogging. A mosquito misting system or fogger releases a pesticide solution over a large outdoor area. The low percentage of pesticides isn’t generally considered harmful to people and pets, as long as they’re used correctly, according to the EPA. Cost: About $150–250.
Fumigation. In the unlikely event that you have a serious indoor mosquito problem, a fogging machine is used to fill the air with a pesticide solution. People and pets shouldn’t be present during this process. Cost: $80–150 per treatment.Â
Cost factors
Size of treatment area. The size and type of treated area affects the cost of mosquito control services.
Outdoor spraying around the perimeter of the yard and specific sites of mosquito infestation costs an average $125–350.
Spraying decks, sheds, and other structures costs $100–200.
Indoor spraying costs $60–225, depending on the location of the mosquito problem.Â
Ongoing treatments. Depending on the severity of the infestation, your property may need multiple treatments.
Seasonal contract. A 6-month contract during mosquito season (March to October) on ¼–½ acre lots averages $350–600. It can cost $325 on the low end, and as much as $1,900 on the high end, depending on the extent of the problem.
Annual contract. Homeowners in regions that require year-round service should budget an average $1,440, but may range from $800–2,500.
