Why are mosquitoes bad around the lakes in Lake View?
Mosquitoes lay eggs in or near standing water and rest in shade during the day. Lake View has plenty of both. The open lake is usually less of a problem than the still, shallow water around it and the containers in your yard. The EPA mosquito control guidance covers how to remove those water sources.
Still water at the shoreline
Shallow coves, weedy edges, and low spots that hold water after rain give mosquitoes calm water to lay eggs in.
Boats, docks, and covers
Boat covers, kayaks, dock boxes, and tarps collect rainwater. A small amount is enough.
Gutters and drains
Tree cover fills gutters with leaves. Clogged gutters and downspout drains hold water where you cannot see it.
Shaded, wooded lots
Adult mosquitoes rest in shrubs, ivy, tall grass, and tree lines during the heat of the day, then come out at dusk.
Under decks and crawl spaces
Cool, damp, dark spaces close to the house are resting areas. They are also where people sit in the evening.
Yard containers
Planters, saucers, buckets, toys, birdbaths, and wheelbarrows are common breeding spots a few steps from the door.
How does mosquito service work?
Each monthly visit follows the same four steps. The goal is fewer mosquitoes in the parts of the yard you use. No treatment removes every mosquito, especially next to water.
Inspect
The technician walks the property and looks for standing water, clogged gutters, drains, and shaded resting areas.
Treat resting areas
Shrubs, shaded lawn edges, tree lines, and the areas under decks are treated, since that is where adult mosquitoes rest.
Address breeding water
The technician points out water you can dump or drain, and can place In2Care stations for breeding spots you cannot remove.
Return monthly
Visits repeat each month from late March through October. Your technician goes over the off-season schedule with you.
What is an In2Care mosquito station?
An In2Care station is a small container of water placed in a shaded part of the yard. It attracts mosquitoes that breed in containers. A mosquito that lands in the station picks up a larvicide and carries it to other breeding spots nearby.
Why it fits Lake View
Around a lake you cannot dump every water source. Stations work on the breeding spots that stay hidden, such as gutters, drains, and containers on a neighboring lot.
How it is used
Stations are used along with the monthly treatment of resting areas. The technician tells you at the free inspection whether stations make sense for your yard.

Where in Lake View do you treat for mosquitoes?
Alabama Termite & Pest Services treats for mosquitoes across Lake View, AL, including the lake communities, businesses on Hwy 11, and rural properties around town.
Million Dollar Lakes
Homes here sit on or near nine private lakes. The inspection starts on the water side of the house: the shoreline, the dock, and the shaded ground between the lake and the deck.
Lake Retreat and Dream Lakes
Wooded lots in these lake subdivisions hold shade most of the day. Tree lines, ivy, and leaf-filled gutters get the most attention.
Hwy 11 businesses
Patios, outdoor seating, drains, and dumpster areas are the usual sources at a business. See commercial pest control for how business service works.
Rural properties near Lake View and McCalla
Larger lots often have ponds, troughs, ditches, and equipment that holds water. The technician focuses on the area around the house and the places you spend time outside.
What can you do yourself, and when should you call?
Removing standing water is the most useful thing you can do. It costs nothing and it helps any treatment last. Call when you have done that and mosquitoes still keep you off the deck or dock.
What you can do
- Dump water from planters, buckets, toys, and saucers once a week.
- Clean gutters and check downspout drains.
- Pull boat covers and tarps tight so they do not hold rain.
- Change birdbath water weekly.
- Trim shrubs and ivy near decks, doors, and seating areas.
Call Alabama Termite & Pest Services when
- Mosquitoes are still heavy after you remove standing water.
- Your yard backs up to the lake, a pond, or woods.
- You cannot find or reach the water source.
- You want the yard treated through the whole season.
- You run a business with outdoor seating.
Products are applied according to their EPA-registered labels. Your technician gives you re-entry guidance before treatment, including when people and pets can return to treated areas.
