Questions & Answers
Mosquito Control FAQ
How does professional mosquito barrier spray work?
BuzzSkito applies a fine residual mist to shrubs, vegetation, and the underside of leaves where mosquitoes rest during the day. The product is applied according to its label directions and dries onto those surfaces as a residual barrier, and scheduled repeat visits keep that barrier in place through the season.
How many mosquito treatments do I need per season?
We recommend at least 5 treatments through the season — typically May, June, July, August, and September (the Basic plan, $549). Most GTA homes choose the Standard plan, 10 sprays every 2 weeks for $994, for steadier coverage through peak mosquito activity. Prices are for a standard lot under 10,000 sq ft, plus HST.
What precautions apply for children and pets after a mosquito treatment?
Our licensed technicians apply water-based barrier products according to their label directions. Keep children and pets off treated areas until the spray has dried, as the product label directs.
What is the best time of year to start mosquito control in Ontario?
Start in early May, as mosquito populations begin building once temperatures consistently exceed 10°C. Starting early puts the barrier in place before peak season in June and July.
Do you service my city?
BuzzSkito serves 19 cities across the GTA including Mississauga, Toronto, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Etobicoke, Scarborough, North York, Caledon, Milton, Georgetown, Halton Hills, King City, Woodbridge, and Thornhill.

Searching "mosquito control near me" almost certainly puts you inside our service zone, so you get a nearby licensed technician (Ontario licence L-240-2436835197) rather than a national call centre, backed by 150+ five-star reviews and zero negative reviews.
How fast can you come out to spray?

Because we are based locally in Mississauga and run a GTA-wide route, there is no long wait for a technician to travel out — call (289) 216-5030 or request a free quote and we will confirm the soonest available visit window for your area.
