Summer fun is often hampered by pests that swarm our pools. From wasps to mosquitoes, your pool is no place for pests.

And with Mosquito Squad’s Pool Owners Package, it no longer has to be! Our outdoor pest control plans are not only tailored to the pests that invade our clients’ properties, but also to the type of potential pest traps they have in their yards. Pools are just that – but with our Pool Owners Package, this summer, your pest tourist trap can become a locals-only haven!

Why Does My Pool Attract Mosquitoes and Pests?

Standing water is mosquito’s paradise. Your sparkling pool speaks to summer fun in the sun and cool evening swims – but to mosquitoes, the water splashed outside your pool is what they love most! Those tiny pools – so small, you might not even realize they’re there – are where mosquitoes deposit their eggs. Your pool area can become a mosquito breeding haven very quickly making your pool time totally unenjoyable!

Why Are Other Pests Attracted to My Pool?

Some pests, like mosquitoes and gnats lay their eggs in standing water and moist soil, respectively. Others – well, they’re thirsty. And your pool’s chemicals can be a big plus for luring them in for a drink. What’s more, shaded areas around your pool make for ideal hiding spaces for pests that require protection from hot summer sun.

But that’s not all! Your poolside food and beverage consumption can be a huge attraction to pests, like ants and flies. And where there are ants and flies, there can be even bigger pests that prey on them – like spiders. And let’s not forget about rodents, who love dining on discarded foods!

What’s Included in Our Pool Owners Package?

Our Pool Protection Package offers powerful, proactive mosquito control designed specifically for the needs of pool owners. Here’s what you can expect:

Targeted Barrier Treatments - We apply our signature barrier treatment to the pool’s perimeter, nearby foliage, and potential mosquito hangouts. This knocks down existing mosquitoes and continues to work for up to 21 days.
Focused Poolside Protection - We identify and treat areas with excess moisture, shade, or standing water—ideal mosquito hangouts. Our technicians treat areas near patios, decks, lounge chairs, planters, and any poolside décor.
Larvicide Treatments for Breeding Prevention - Got a nearby fountain, drain, or water feature? We treat standing water areas with larvicide to stop mosquito larvae from maturing into biting adults.
Customized Plan for Your Outdoor Space - Every pool setup is unique. Our trained professionals assess your yard and tailor a protection plan that works for your space, your schedule, and your summer plans.
