Suppose you’re enjoying the warming weather in the spring or setting up for a summer barbecue. In that case, you’ll want to spend time outdoors without worrying about swatting at swarming, biting mosquitoes. Although mosquitoes are a given in Knoxville, this doesn’t have to be the case on your property.
That’s because, at Waynes Pest Control, we provide safe, eco-friendly mosquito control in Knoxville, TN, that works and provides peace of mind. To get started with your mosquito control services, schedule an inspection.
Besides being genuine nuisances, a bite from a disease-carrying mosquito can also be dangerous. When you choose Waynes, you trust an experienced company that goes above and beyond with its mosquito control in Knoxville. After thoroughly inspecting your property, we’ll provide a dynamic mosquito treatment targeted to your needs.
Mosquito Inspection
One of our mosquito treatment experts will comprehensively inspect your property, seeking places where these pests might hide and breed and environments on your land that can attract them, such as standing water that can serve as potential breeding grounds for mosquito eggs. These breeding grounds can include something as large as a pond or as small as an empty birdbath or flower pot collecting stagnant water.
Mosquito Control in Knoxville
Waynes Pest Control will then use your inspection results to design a unique plan to address your specific needs. This plan will include a perimeter that prevents mosquitoes from settling on your property and treating areas where they can hide. With each of our techniques, we’ll use environmentally friendly mosquito treatments that are safe for you, your family, and your pets while exterminating these pests.
Eliminate Mosquito Breeding Grounds
Besides getting rid of the mosquitoes already swarming on your property, our mosquito control in Knoxville also takes care of the eggs that haven’t hatched yet. Moreover, we treat breeding grounds to ensure mosquitoes won’t use your property to rebuild their population. So, you can enjoy being outside with family and friends without dealing with these insects.

Protecting Your Home and Family: Fighting Back Against Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes Can Make You Sick
Besides ending up with itchy bites from these blood suckers, mosquitoes can also carry deadly bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can sicken your family. You have a one in 300 chance of catching a significant disease if bitten. So, during the peak season (March through October), Waynes recommends mosquito control in Knoxville every four to six weeks to provide yearly protection.
Mosquitoes Reproduce Quickly
Mosquito control services are essential because a small population can multiply rapidly and turn into an infestation. Mosquito eggs sometimes only take five days to hatch, with larvae turning into adults as quickly as eight days. Just as troubling, mosquitoes can lay hundreds of eggs at one single time. So, it’s crucial to proactively get mosquito control in Knoxville before these pests take over.
Hiding and Dwelling in Your Yard
Mosquitoes can easily find places to hide on your property, even when you don’t see them yourself. Examples include empty bird baths and flower pots (but there are plenty more!). If you’ve noticed a problem, our skilled professionals can inspect your yard and identify their hiding spots.

Knoxville Mosquito FAQs:
There is only one foolproof method of outdoor mosquito control – calling Waynes. Removing stagnant water and other sources of standing water, such as trash can lids, AC drip pans, birdbaths, foundations and filling in potholes will help remove the desirability of your home. Trimming back foliage and places where mosquitoes can hide during the day will help, too. However, you’ll need Waynes’ assistance to ensure that they don’t swarm and come back. While this is handy outdoors – it doesn't solve issues indoors.
In the past, residents of Knoxville, TN, have covered themselves in mosquito repellant, such as DEET and hoped for the best. This form of mosquito prevention, alongside residential mosquito control such as mesh mosquito nets on doors and windows, will cut down the number of bites you’ll receive.
There are 3,000+ mosquito species found across the world, 200 of which live right here in the USA. While it is possible for any of these species to show up in the South, we usually have our own regular visitors in Knoxville, TN. We’re not talking about long mosquitoes, such as Daddy Long Longs, Crane Flies, and other essentially harmless pests. We’re talking about biting mosquitoes – the kind our mosquito pest control services are on hand to deal with.
Our mosquito control technicians regularly get called out to deal with two types of mosquitoes more than others. These include:
- Asian Tiger Mosquito: Our most common disease spreading mosquito. It gets its name from its black and white bands.
- Common Mosquito: Don’t often carry diseases but are found throughout the USA and will still bite.
Tennessee may also be home to the following more exotic mosquitoes:
- Japanese Encephalitis Mosquito: Not as common, but this disease spreading pest also has a black and white body with a yellowish-white stripe down the middle.
- Yellow-Fever Mosquito: This is notable for its dark and light stripes but not overly common. It can spread disease, as its name suggests.
- Eastern Treehole Mosquito: Dark colored with silvery-white streaks down its site. Relatively harmless.
There's no pest control service in Knoxville that will permanently rid you of mosquitoes. Not in Knoxville, TN or anywhere else. However, our mosquito control service can repel mosquitoes for up to a month. Repeated treatments and services will keep them away throughout the entire season. Our affordable mosquito treatment costs vary depending on the service. We recommend several treatments to ensure that your summer days and nights are uninterrupted by mosquitoes.
Our mosquito control in Knoxville lasts for about four to six weeks, so we recommend frequent reapplications of our mosquito treatments during the peak season.
