How Our Seasonal Service Works
Property Inspection
Before our pest control company treats your property for the first time, we’ll perform a thorough inspection to:
- Locate areas where mosquitoes rest and breed
- Identify tick habitats, including tall grass, transitional areas, and shaded spots along property edges
- Check for flea activity in areas where pets spend time outdoors
- Find other pest hotspots on the property
Seasonal Mosquito, Flea & Tick Treatments
To provide season-long protection from mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks, Getem Services performs treatments every three weeks from March through the end of September. Our recurring service targets the areas where these biting pests are most likely to rest, hide, and travel, helping to drastically reduce their populations and make your outdoor spaces more enjoyable throughout the warmer months.
During each service visit, we apply a targeted misting treatment to fence lines, transitional areas, beneath decks, overgrown vegetation, trees, shrubs, and other areas where mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks are active. We do not treat flowering plants or waterways. When necessary, we also treat mosquito breeding sites, including gutters, bird baths, and other areas identified during our inspection to help prevent mosquito larvae from developing.
Because they often share many of the same outdoor habitats, a single treatment can help reduce all three pests around your property and create a more comfortable environment for your family and pets.
One-Time Mosquito Treatments For Special Events
In addition to our seasonal service, Getem also offers one-time mosquito treatments for outdoor events including outdoor weddings and receptions, corporate events, family reunions, and other outdoor gatherings. For best results, our team will treat the venue two to three days prior to the event targeting adult mosquitoes and disrupting the mosquito breeding cycle. With our help, you can be sure the buzz at your party or get together won’t be about mosquito bites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mosquitoes, Fleas & Ticks
The most common mosquito-borne illness in the U.S., West Nile virus, is a virus spread by the bites of infected mosquitoes and can affect people and animals. Female mosquitos become infected with the virus when they take a blood meal from infected birds.
Symptoms of West Nile virus include fever, headache, fatigue, or body aches. In rare cases, the virus may cause inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.
Ticks in Hampton Roads can transmit several diseases, including Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis. While Lyme disease is primarily associated with deer ticks, dog ticks, and lone star ticks can spread other serious illnesses that make tick prevention and prompt tick removal important.
In order to reproduce, female mosquitoes must take a blood meal. While it does not offer females any nourishment, it does allows their eggs to mature before laying. That's why male mosquitoes do not bite and both sexes feed upon plant nectars.
According to the American Mosquito Control Association, carbon dioxide emitted by people when they breathe is the most universally recognized mosquito attractant. Body odor, perfumes, drinking beer, and even Limburger cheese are other known attractants. Of course, it's not just people that attract mosquitoes either. Standing water, dense vegetation, and other landscaping appeal to mosquitoes as well.
Yes, our misting treatments help reduce fleas in outdoor areas where pets and wildlife are active. Because this is an exterior service, indoor flea infestations require a separate treatment. Getem offers interior flea control as part of our ongoing home pest control plan.
