Mosquito Control & Treatment
Mosquitoes are unpleasant and troublesome pests that thrive near standing water. They produce a high-pitched buzzing sound, bite exposed skin, and can be a health hazard. While the UK does not have the tropical mosquito-borne diseases found in other parts of the world, mosquito bites are itchy, uncomfortable, and can become infected if scratched. Urgent Pest Control provides professional mosquito control for domestic and commercial properties across Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Mansfield, Lincoln and surrounding areas.

Signs You Have a Mosquito Problem
Mosquitoes breed in standing water and are most active at dawn and dusk. A persistent problem usually means there is a breeding source near your property. Bites Mosquito bites appear as raised, itchy bumps. They tend to bite exposed skin, particularly arms, legs, and ankles, and are most active in the evening and at night. Buzzing The distinctive high-pitched buzzing of mosquitoes, particularly at night, is a common complaint. If you are hearing buzzing regularly indoors, mosquitoes are breeding nearby and finding their way in. Standing Water Any source of standing water on or near your property can be a mosquito breeding site. This includes ponds, water butts, blocked gutters, birdbaths, plant pot saucers, and even puddles that persist for more than a few days. Larvae in Water Mosquito larvae are small, wriggling organisms visible in standing water. If you can see larvae in water features, gutters, or containers on your property, mosquitoes are actively breeding there.What Our Customers Say
Why Mosquito Problems Need Professional Treatment
Mosquitoes breed quickly in any source of standing water, and the problem will persist as long as the breeding source remains.
- Rapid breeding: mosquitoes can complete their lifecycle in as little as seven to ten days in warm conditions. A single breeding source can produce hundreds of mosquitoes.
- Health: while UK mosquitoes do not carry tropical diseases, their bites cause itching, discomfort, and allergic reactions in some people. Bites can become infected if scratched.
- Persistent problem: without identifying and treating the breeding source, DIY measures like citronella candles and bug sprays are only temporary.
- Hard to find: breeding sources can be small and hidden. Professional inspection identifies sources you may have overlooked.
How We Treat Mosquito Problems
Step 1: Source Identification We inspect your property and surrounding area to identify all mosquito breeding sources. This includes checking gutters, drains, water features, containers, and any areas where water collects. Step 2: Treatment We treat breeding sources with larvicides where appropriate, and apply residual insecticides to resting areas to reduce the adult population. For large outdoor areas, we can apply targeted outdoor treatments.
