Mosquito, Flea, and Tick Control  

Fast, Effective Treatment Against Biting Pests Outdoors 

Backyard barbecues shouldn't come with mosquito bites, flea attacks, or tick concerns. Cedar Pest Control handles mosquito control, flea pest control, and tick pest control with treatments that stop the biting and keep your family comfortable outside. We eliminate adult pests hiding in your yard while treating breeding sites to prevent larvae from maturing.

With eco-friendly options and guaranteed services that come with free re-treatments if pests return, you're in the right place.

Safe Products That Don’t Bite Back

We know you care about what goes on your lawn, especially when kids and pets spend time there. Our pest control company offers three treatment approaches for mosquito control, flea exterminator services, and tick pest control:

  • Standard Treatment: Liquid barrier spray using fogging targets mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas every three weeks during pest season. This delivers immediate results with 90% knockdown after one treatment and 100% knockdown after two treatments.
  • All-Natural, Green Treatment: Plant-based repellent using fogging provides eco-friendly control throughout the season. Results are visible within one day, with an 85% knockdown after one treatment and a 95% knockdown after two treatments.
  • Bee and Butterfly Friendly Treatment: Special In2Care bait traps eliminate up to 90% of mosquitoes without harming bees and butterflies. Results are typically available within 2-3 weeks, with a 10% knockdown achieved after the first treatment and a 90% knockdown after two treatments.

Every treatment targets the pests without blanketing your yard in unnecessary products. We follow integrated pest management principles, which means we focus on the source of the problem and use targeted, environmentally friendly applications to minimize our impact.

Mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas have no place at home. Call us at (804) 575-5536 or book an inspection online to get started! 

How Our Mosquito, Ticks, and Flea Control Works

Step one is the inspection and source reduction for mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. Our technicians locate every source of standing water where mosquitoes lay eggs and shaded, moist areas where fleas and ticks thrive. For water sources that cannot be removed (such as decorative ponds or French drains), we apply a larvicide, like Bti, to kill mosquito larvae before they hatch into biting adults.

Standard Program FAQs
  • Every three weeks during mosquito season, we’ll use a fogging system to disperse the repellent over your yard. If necessary, we’ll also apply the repellent directly to standing water sources where mosquitoes breed, such as ponds and ditches.

    Our repellent is non-toxic and produces no known negative health effects. If you’re looking for an all-natural, plant-based mosquito control solution that is safe to use around your family and pets, then look no further than Cedar Pest Control! 

  • Our green, all-natural mosquito repellent creates a protective barrier against mosquitoes through the combination of essential oils. Rosemary oil, geraniol, and peppermint oil are released into the air when the repellent is applied, creating an unpleasant smell for mosquitoes. The scent also acts as a physical deterrent, blocking their access to potential hosts.

    Additionally, these oils are known to possess insecticidal properties, which help reduce the mosquito population in an area. Whether you are grilling, gardening, or just want to enjoy some time in your backyard, Cedar Pest Control offers the perfect solution for keeping pesky mosquitoes away.

  • Our green, all-natural mosquito repellent features a light and pleasant scent, which most people find quite pleasant, thanks to a blend of essential oils. While the scent may be strong enough to deter mosquitoes, it is mild and not overpowering for humans, although the scent may vary depending on the amount of repellent applied and the area where it is being used. However, it still provides a fantastic way to keep pesky mosquitoes away without worrying about strong odors or skin irritations.

  • Our green mosquito treatments are specifically designed using eco-friendly, naturally-derived active ingredients that are gentle on people and animals. These solutions target the mosquitoes themselves while minimizing risk to beneficial insects, the environment, and your family. We focus on treating vegetation where mosquitoes rest, and surfaces are typically safe once the treatment has dried, which usually takes about 30 minutes. The safety of your children and pets is our top priority when designing and applying every mosquito control program. We encourage you to discuss any specific concerns with our technicians before treatment begins.

  • The most effective way to prevent mosquitoes indoors is to ensure all your window and door screens are intact and completely free of any tears or holes. Always keep doors and windows promptly shut, especially during the early morning and evening hours when mosquitoes are most active. You should also ensure that the seals and weather stripping around entry points are secure to block tiny gaps mosquitoes can fly through. If you frequently use a garage or side door, consider installing a temporary magnetic screen for added protection. Using air conditioning is another great deterrent, as mosquitoes dislike the cooler indoor temperatures and strong airflow.

  • Because we use natural, minimum-risk products, you can re-enter the treated area immediately after fogging. Because there is no re-entry delay, we can treat areas with high human activity, such as schools, daycare facilities, and commercial establishments.

    In addition, our green mosquito repellent can also be used safely near or over open water without concern for its effects on aquatic life. This is especially useful for mosquito applications around boat docks and marinas.

Bee & Butterfly Friendly Program FAQs
  • The In2Care mosquito control system uses specially designed stations that are placed around your yard. These traps are filled with two active ingredients.  One that is a powerful insect growth regulator that keeps immature stages of the mosquito from developing into biting adults and the other is a naturally occurring fungus that slowly kills the infected adults and reduces their ability to bite over time.

    When the female mosquito enters the station, the larvicide growth regulator this is also in the water of the station attaches itself to the mosquito.  She then spreads this active ingredient to other breeding sites she will visit, killing the mosquito larvae there also.  No other system available has this ability to ‘transfer’ to other hard to find breeding sites in and around the yard, which is why In2Care is unique and very effective:  More than just a trap!

    Because In2Care controls uses current mosquito populations to control future ones in your yard, it takes two to three weeks for the In2Care mosquito stations to become fully effective, the sooner you schedule the installation of your stations, the less you’ll be “bugged” once mosquito season arrives.

    With In2Care, Eco Pest Control is not only empowering Richmond and Williamsburg residents to take charge of their mosquito control but also helping families enjoy the outdoors without worrying about mosquito-borne illnesses. Thanks to In2Care, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your family is protected from mosquitos and their associated diseases.

  • When the female mosquitoes enter the trap, they land on a treated floating gauze strip, exposing them to a naturally occurring fungus and bioactive larvicide powder. The mosquitoes’ bodies absorb the fungus, while the larvicide powder sticks to their feet, legs and body.

    • After the female mosquitoes fly out of the station, they will travel to other breeding sites, which spreads the mosquito-killing larvicide to those locations. The larvicide will kill the larvae before they become biting adults as well as the larvae of other female mosquitoes that visit those breeding sites.
    • While this is happening, the fungus that is also on the mosquito’s body is working to slow down her body functions, reducing her ability to bite while still allowing her to lay her complement of eggs and spreading the active ingredients.
    • Eventually, the exposed mosquitoes are killed by the fungus.

    In2Care’s specially designed traps reduce the population of aggressive Asian Tiger and Yellow Fever mosquito as well as the night biting Culex mosquitoes by preventing larvae from becoming adults – thus breaking the cycle at an early stage – and killing female mosquitoes. This method offers an effective, reliable, and affordable solution to mosquito control.

  • The In2Care Mosquito Station offers many advantages over traditional mosquito control strategies. In2Care can sustainably reduce adult female mosquitoes all season long. making In2Care an effective solution for controlling mosquito populations in Richmond and Williamsburg.

    However, the best part of the In2Care mosquito control system is that the female mosquitoes act as their own mosquito exterminators. Once we set the mosquito traps in your yard, the female mosquitoes will spread the mosquito repellant to their breeding sites. In this way, In2Care is not only a mosquito prevention treatment but also prevents mosquito infestations because it targets both adult mosquitoes and larvae.

    The In2Care mosquito traps are also eco-friendly. The larvicide growth regulator is approved for use in human drinking water by the World Health Organization and the fungus is EPA-approved for application to tree crops.

    In short, In2Care is an effective and affordable solution for mosquito control.

  • Yes, In2Care is suitable to use around pets and children. In2Care uses ingredients that are specially formulated for mosquito control, so they have no adverse effects on humans or other animals. In2Care’s larvicide release also helps prevent breeding and reduce the number of mosquitoes in the area without any risk to your family’s health and safety. In2Care has been thoroughly tested, so you can rest assured knowing that In2Care is a reliable solution for mosquito control.

  • Yes, In2Care is safe to use around bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. In2Care uses active ingredients and delivery system specifically designed for mosquito control, so it does not affect bees and other beneficial insects. In addition, we place In2Care stations away from flower beds or other areas where pollinators may be present, minimizing the risk of contact with In2Care’s active ingredients.

  • No, In2Care does not repel mosquitoes away from your home or yard. In2Care’s specially formulated mosquito attractant helps draw adult female mosquitoes toward the traps located in and around your property, where they are then contaminated, which is effective in reducing the number of breeding females in the whole area.
