Foothill Mosquitoes Need More Than a Spray Truck
El Dorado County properties breed mosquitoes in places valley technicians never think to look: drainage swales on sloped lots, seasonal creeks, livestock troughs, irrigation ditches, ponds, and the countless containers scattered across acreage. A backpack sprayer fogging near the patio does nothing about any of that.
Pest Control Center’s monthly mosquito program uses In2Care traps — discreet stations that attract egg-laying mosquitoes, then turn them into carriers that spread larvicide back to hidden breeding sites across your property. It works continuously, across acreage, without anyone having to find every puddle.
Built for Properties Where Breeding Sites Are Everywhere
On a quarter-acre suburban lot, you can dump the saucers and call it a day. On foothill acreage with a creek, a pond, and a barn, you will never find every breeding site — which is exactly why the In2Care approach fits. The mosquitoes do the searching for us, carrying treatment to the water sources we cannot reach or even see.
Fewer mosquitoes hatching, week after week, all season — without broadcast spraying across your land.
What Makes Our Approach Different
- Targets breeding, not just biting — breaks the cycle instead of resetting it
- Works across acreage — mosquitoes deliver treatment to breeding sites we cannot reach
- Quiet and discreet — small stations, no equipment noise, no chemical fog
- Continuous — works 24/7 between visits
- Monthly service through mosquito season — timed to foothill conditions
Common Foothill Breeding Sources We Address
Seasonal creeks and drainage channels, livestock water troughs, irrigation ditches and valves, ornamental ponds, pool covers, clogged gutters on barns and outbuildings, old tires and equipment, and low spots that hold water after storms. Our technicians survey your property each visit and advise on sources you can eliminate — the best trap is a breeding site that never exists.
What to Expect
Monthly visits through the season. We place and service In2Care stations around your home, outbuildings, and high-use outdoor areas, survey for new breeding sources, and adjust as conditions change. Most customers notice a real difference within the first few weeks as the breeding cycle breaks down.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have a creek/pond on our property — can you still help?
Yes — this is exactly where In2Care outperforms spraying. You cannot drain a creek, but mosquitoes breeding near it will visit our traps and carry larvicide back to those water sources.
How is this different from mosquito spraying?
Spraying kills adults present at that moment; new ones hatch within days. In2Care traps turn egg-laying mosquitoes into carriers that spread larvicide to hidden breeding sites — attacking future generations continuously.
Is it safe around livestock and pets?
The traps are targeted at container-breeding mosquitoes and discreetly placed. Talk to your technician about your animals and we will place stations appropriately.
Do you service large acreage properties?
Yes — foothill acreage is our home turf. Station placement is planned around your home, outbuildings, and the outdoor areas you actually use.
Do I need a contract?
No. Mosquito control is a seasonal service with no long-term contract.
