Mosquitoes Native to Southern Michigan
To effectively control mosquitoes, it’s important to understand the species common in Southern Michigan. Below are the most prevalent types, their habits, and where they’re a particular concern.
Northern House Mosquito (Culex pipiens)
- Biting Habits: Active at night, persistently biting humans and animals.
- Habitat: Breeds in stagnant water, such as birdbaths, clogged gutters, and old tires.
- Why It Matters: A frequent annoyance during evening activities in Lansing and Mason.
Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus)
- Biting Habits: Aggressive daytime biters that strike during daylight hours.
- Habitat: Thrives in small water containers like flower pots and buckets.
- Why It Matters: Their bold biting and disease potential make them a concern in East Lansing, Okemos, and St. John’s.
Floodwater Mosquito (Aedes vexans)
- Biting Habits: Bites during the day and at dusk, especially after heavy rain.
- Habitat: Eggs hatch in moist soil after rainfall or flooding.
- Why It Matters: Swarms can overwhelm outdoor spaces in Holt, Leslie, and Charlotte post-storm.
Our approach at Stewart Pest Solutions targets these species, ensuring effective mosquito control from Lansing to Eaton Rapids.
Mosquito Flight Range
Mosquitoes can travel surprising distances, affecting control efforts. The Asian Tiger Mosquito stays within a few hundred yards of its breeding site, while the Floodwater Mosquito can fly several miles. This means mosquitoes from nearby areas can still reach your yard in Mason or Leslie, even if you remove standing water on your property. Professional treatment is essential for lasting relief.
Our Mosquito Control Methods
We use two safe, effective methods—perimeter barrier spraying and mosquito traps—to reduce mosquito populations around your home.
Perimeter Barrier Spraying
- How It Works: We apply insecticide to mosquito hotspots like shrubs and tall grass, creating a protective barrier.
- Benefits:
- Long-lasting bite protection.
- Targets hidden mosquitoes.
- Safe for kids and pets when professionally applied.
- Ideal For: Homes in Lansing, East Lansing, Okemos, Holt, Mason, and Eaton Rapids.
Mosquito Traps
- How They Work: Traps lure mosquitoes with scents and visual cues, capturing them before they bite.

These methods combine for a customized, powerful defense against mosquitoes.
What to Expect from Our Services
While our treatments significantly reduce mosquito populations, complete elimination isn’t possible due to their ability to fly in from nearby areas like Leslie or Charlotte. However, our perimeter spraying and traps will drastically lower their numbers, making your yard safer and more enjoyable.
