Mosquito Control in Bismarck
Trugreen Weed Control of Bismarck · Bismarck, Mandan, Lincoln, Washburn, Wilton, New Salem, Center
Mosquito Control: Bismarck summers are short, and mosquitoes can take the evenings away. We treat the shaded foliage and damp spots in your yard where they rest and breed, so the patio is usable from June through September.
Mosquitoes in the Bismarck-Mandan area come in waves after rain and the spring melt, and low ground near the Missouri River that holds water makes it worse. Adults do not live in the open lawn; they rest during the day in shaded, humid foliage, under decks, along fences and in dense shrubs, and come out at dusk. That is where treatment works.
Our treatment is a residual barrier applied to that resting foliage and to the undersides of leaves, decks and structures around the areas you actually use. It controls the mosquitoes that land on it for weeks, which is why visits are scheduled every few weeks through the season rather than once.
Breeding sites matter as much as the barrier. A gutter that holds water, a tarp, a clogged downspout or a birdbath can produce thousands of mosquitoes a week within a few feet of your patio. We point them out on every visit and treat standing water that cannot be emptied.
Public mosquito control in the area handles the big picture across the city. Yard treatment is about your yard specifically: the evenings on your own patio, your kids in your own backyard.

Questions about this service
How long does a mosquito treatment last?
Several weeks on treated foliage, less after heavy rain. Visits are scheduled every few weeks through the season so the barrier never lapses, with extra visits after storms.
Will it harm bees or butterflies?
We treat resting foliage and structures, not flowering plants, and we apply in the evening or early morning when pollinators are not active. Tell us about any hives or pollinator beds and we work around them.
Can you treat before a backyard party?
Yes. A treatment a day or two before an event gives the best results. Tell us the date and we schedule around it.
Does treating my yard help if my neighbor has standing water?
It still helps a great deal, because the barrier controls the mosquitoes that come into your yard to rest. Removing water sources on your side cuts the numbers further, and we will point out anything we see.
Is the treatment safe for pets and kids?
Yes, once dry. It is applied to foliage and structures, not to the lawn where they play. Your visit notes give the drying time.
How much does mosquito control cost in Bismarck?
Mosquito control cost depends on your yard size, how much shade and standing water you have, and the treatment frequency through the season. We quote after walking the yard, with no contract. Call TruGreen Bismarck at (701) 751-4442.
How often do you treat for mosquitoes in Bismarck?
In Bismarck, mosquito control runs late spring through early fall with treatments every few weeks, since new mosquitoes keep hatching. Regular visits keep the resting and breeding areas treated. We set the schedule for your yard. Call (701) 751-4442.
Is mosquito treatment safe for my family and pets?
Yes, our mosquito treatments are applied with your family and pets in mind, and we tell you how long to stay off treated areas. Following the wait time keeps everyone safe. Your technician explains it on site. Call (701) 751-4442.
