Thorne Pest Solutions handles mosquito control for homes and businesses in Lake Como, Florida. Our technicians work this part of Orlando every week, so a mosquitoes call here starts with what we already know about local construction, landscaping and moisture — not a generic script.
Container-breeding mosquitoes only need a bottle cap of water, so gutters, bromeliads, pool covers, plant saucers and irrigation low spots do more to drive the problem than the nearest pond. Treatment targets the shaded resting foliage where adults wait out the day plus the water holding larvae.
Mosquitoes in Lake Como: Shaded, humid yards near the lakes hold water in containers and gutters.
Signs of mosquitoes in a Lake Como home
- Bites within seconds of stepping onto the patio in the late afternoon
- Clouds of mosquitoes lifting out of shrubs when you brush past
- Activity concentrated on the shaded side of the house
- Larvae wriggling in a bird bath, saucer or covered grill
What you can do before we arrive
- Dump and scrub anything holding water once a week, including bromeliad cups
- Clear gutters and downspouts so they drain fully
- Fix irrigation heads that leave standing puddles
- Add a fan to porch seating — mosquitoes are weak fliers
Mosquitoes pressure in Lake Como
Mosquito season runs from the first warm rains in spring through October, with the worst pressure in the afternoons after daily storms.
Mosquito service works best from spring through fall, treating shaded resting areas near the home.
Clean gutters regularly — clogged gutters are a top mosquito breeding site here.
How the visit works
Property inspection
We walk the yard looking for water-holding containers, drainage issues, bromeliads and low shaded vegetation.
Source reduction
We identify breeding sites and tell you exactly what to dump, clear or adjust — this is the highest-impact step.
Resting-area treatment
Adult mosquitoes rest on the undersides of foliage during the day; that's where treatment is focused.
Larval site attention
Water that can't be eliminated is addressed with appropriate larval control where suitable.
Recurring visits
Monthly service during the warm season maintains coverage as vegetation grows and rain refills sites.
Event treatments
One-time service can be scheduled before a wedding, party or outdoor gathering.

What makes mosquitoes such a problem in Lake Como?
Mosquitoes in Lake Como: Shaded, humid yards near the lakes hold water in containers and gutters.
How long does mosquito treatment last?
Treatments are designed to hold through a typical service interval, but heavy rain, rapid plant growth and new breeding sites all shorten it — which is why monthly service is the standard approach during Florida's wet season.
Can I use my yard right after treatment?
Your technician will give you a re-entry timeframe for the day's application. Once that window passes, the yard is meant to be used.
Do I need mosquito service in winter?
Activity drops during cooler stretches, but Central Florida rarely stays cold long. Many customers run service through the warm months and scale back in winter.
