Pocono Mountain Mosquito Control
Lakefront properties, vacation homes, and wooded lots deserve a summer free from mosquitoes. L&L Pest Control has protected Pocono properties since 1986 with seasonal barrier spray programs. $125–$150 per treatment.
Why Pocono Mosquitoes Are a Different Problem
Lakes & Wetlands
Lake Wallenpaupack, Pocono Lake, Lake Harmony, and dozens of smaller lakes and ponds create massive mosquito breeding capacity within flight range of every Pocono property.
High Rainfall
The Pocono Mountains receive 45+ inches of rain annually — consistently above the PA state average. More rainfall means more standing water and longer mosquito seasons.
Forest Moisture
Dense forest canopy holds moisture in soil and vegetation, extending the effective mosquito season and creating resting habitat that suburban barrier sprays can't match without area expertise.
Our Seasonal Mosquito Program
Season-opening treatment. Target overwintering adults emerging in vegetation. Larvicide treatment of standing water features.

Pocono Mosquito Control FAQs
Why are mosquitoes so bad in the Pocono Mountains?
The Poconos combine several factors that create intense mosquito pressure: abundant lakes and ponds, seasonal wetlands along river corridors, high average rainfall, forested terrain that holds moisture, and warm humid summers. Lake Wallenpaupack, the Delaware River floodplain, and dozens of smaller lakes and reservoirs throughout Monroe, Pike, and Wayne counties all provide significant breeding habitat within a short flight distance of residential properties.
What does a Pocono mosquito treatment program include?
Our seasonal program includes 5–7 treatments from May through September, timed to coincide with peak mosquito activity. Each visit includes perimeter barrier spray targeting resting areas in vegetation, plus larvicide treatment of standing water features (decorative ponds, birdbaths, pooled water areas) where accessible. We use EPA-registered products and adjust the program based on seasonal conditions.
How long does each mosquito treatment last?
A single barrier spray treatment typically provides 3–4 weeks of protection under normal conditions. Treatments may need to be spaced closer together during high-rainfall periods, which is why our seasonal program includes flexibility for additional visits.
Do you treat vacation and seasonal properties?
Yes — seasonal property treatment is a significant part of our Pocono mosquito business. We can treat before your arrival, on a regular schedule throughout the season, or at specific intervals you define. We coordinate with property managers for remote owners and can handle access when you're not on-site.
How much does mosquito control cost in the Poconos?
Individual mosquito treatments are $125–$150 per visit. Seasonal programs (5–7 visits) typically run $650–$900 for most residential properties. Larger properties and lakefront lots may be priced higher based on acreage. All estimates are free — call (570) 992-3487 or request online.
Are your mosquito treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use EPA-registered products and follow label guidelines precisely. We ask that children and pets stay off treated areas for 30 minutes after treatment while the product dries. After dry-down, the treated area is safe for normal outdoor activity.
