Mosquito Problems in Brooklyn (Kings County)
Brooklyn (Kings County) sees heavy mosquito pressure every summer, driven by dense development, abundant standing water, and a warm, humid climate. Unlike rural areas where mosquitoes breed in marshes, Brooklyn's mosquitoes come from the small pockets of water all around the urban landscape — catch basins, clogged gutters, flat rooftops, discarded containers, neglected pools, and overwatered planters. Culex mosquitoes, the main West Nile virus vector in New York City, and the Asian tiger mosquito, an aggressive daytime biter, are both established across the borough.
Fogging for adult mosquitoes alone provides only short-lived relief — new mosquitoes emerge from untreated breeding sites within days. Lasting control in Brooklyn's dense environment depends on finding and eliminating the standing water that produces them, treating the water that can't be removed, and knocking down the adults where they rest. Our technicians combine a thorough breeding-site inspection with targeted treatment to address mosquitoes at every stage.
How We Handle Mosquito Control in Brooklyn (Kings County)

- Larviciding — Treating standing water that can't be removed (catch basins, drains) to kill larvae before they become biting adults
- Barrier treatment — Targeted application to shaded vegetation, fence lines, and under decks where adult mosquitoes rest during the day
Mosquito Control in Brooklyn (Kings County) — FAQ
What mosquitoes are common in Brooklyn?
Two species dominate in Brooklyn: Culex mosquitoes, the primary carrier of West Nile virus in NYC, and the Asian tiger mosquito, an aggressive daytime biter now established throughout the borough. Both breed in small amounts of standing water — catch basins, clogged gutters, discarded containers — rather than open marshland.
How do exterminators get rid of mosquitoes in Brooklyn?
Lasting control combines source reduction (eliminating the standing water where mosquitoes breed), larviciding (treating water that can't be drained), and barrier treatment (targeting the shaded vegetation where adults rest). Fogging alone gives only short-lived relief because new mosquitoes emerge from untreated breeding sites within days.
When is mosquito season in Brooklyn?
Mosquito season in Brooklyn typically runs May through October, peaking in the hot, humid stretches of mid-to-late summer, when West Nile virus risk is also highest. Starting treatment early — before populations build — produces the best results.
