If you have a mosquito sample available, please select insect ID. Let us know when and where you collected the sample (indoors/outdoors, address, time of day, etc.). You can drop the sample off at our office anytime we’re open, or we will send a technician to pick it up.
You are welcome to take and submit a photo of the mosquito, but please be aware that mosquitoes are very difficult to identify from photos, especially if they are taken at the wrong angle, in low light, etc. Here are some tips for capturing more detail. Even with a great photo, we may still need to see the mosquito to identify it.
If you do NOT have a mosquito sample available, please select mosquito service. We can set a mosquito trap at your location to see what mosquito species are present. You do not need to be home for us to set a mosquito trap at your home, but please let us know if there are locked gates, dogs in the backyard, or anything else that will limit our access to the property.
