With the York River, tidal ditches, and shaded low spots all around Yorktown, our seasonal treatments knock down the population where it breeds.
Read more about Mosquito Control in Yorktown
Mosquitoes here thrive from May through October, and the marsh edges and drainage ditches near the riverfront give them endless standing water to breed in. Wooded lots in Marlbank and Waterview hold humidity and shade long after a rain, so mosquitoes tuck into that thick greenery through the daytime heat and emerge to feed once the light fades. Even a clogged gutter or a forgotten flowerpot can produce hundreds of them in a week. The result is a backyard you can barely use through the warm months.
Our technicians inspect the property for breeding sites, treat the shaded resting areas where adults hide, and knock out larvae in the standing water we find. We return through the season to keep the population down as new mosquitoes hatch. Backed by 26 years serving Hampton Roads, our seasonal program is built to give you your yard back.

| What to compare | Universal Pest Control | Most pest control companies |
|---|---|---|
| UniGuard ProgramExclusive | Universal Pest Control Termite protection and full pest control combined in one membership for one low monthly payment — from $59/month, with the termite warranty and quarterly pest service included together. | Most pest control companies Termite protection and pest control are usually sold as two separate agreements, with two renewals and two bills to keep track of. |
| SmartPay financingExclusive | Universal Pest Control $0-down payment options on termite treatments, baiting systems, and repairs, so the work can start before payday. Simple, predictable monthly payments. | Most pest control companies Financing, where it is offered, is commonly arranged separately through a third-party lender. |
| Pest Guard Attic Insulation™Exclusive | Universal Pest Control Hampton Roads' only licensed Pest Guard Insulation™ installer, through our sister company Universal Insulation Doctor — insulation manufactured with an EPA-registered pest preventative, so the replacement itself resists the insects that ruined the original. | Most pest control companies Attic insulation is typically referred out, and standard fiberglass has no pest deterrent built into the material. |
| Total Home Health Network | Universal Pest Control Pest and termite control, attic insulation, and duct cleaning coordinated under one roof through the Universal family of companies — one point of contact for the whole job, done in the right order. | Most pest control companies Pest control only.

Free inspections, plus same-day and next-day service. | Most pest control companies Retreatment terms, callback windows, and what counts as covered differ from contract to contract. |
