Lafayette's warm, wet climate does not give mosquitoes a slow season. The Gulf-influenced humidity and frequent rainfall keep pressure high well into the fall and often straight through winter. For most properties here, mosquito control is not a three-month project. It is a year-round commitment.
M&S Mosquito Services has been protecting Lafayette yards since 2022. We focus exclusively on mosquito control for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses across Lafayette and the surrounding Lafayette Parish communities. This is all we do, and we do it well.
The technician who treats your yard lives right here too.
No hidden fees. No surprises. Just a bite-free yard.

Tired of a backyard you cannot use after sunset? In Lafayette Parish, that feeling does not go away on its own. The Gulf-influenced climate pushes mosquito activity well beyond a typical spring-through-fall window. Most properties benefit from an extended or year-round program rather than a seasonal one.
Heavy rain events common to South-Central Louisiana bring another challenge. Floodwater mosquitoes can surge in large numbers within days of a significant storm, overwhelming yards that were manageable the week before. Staying on a consistent treatment schedule is the most reliable way to keep those surges from turning into a real problem.
Culex mosquitoes, tied to standing water in ditches, catch basins, and low areas, are a persistent presence here. Aedes species thrive after rain events, breeding in anything that holds water for more than a few days. West Nile virus is present in Louisiana, and the region carries a nation-leading dog heartworm risk. Consistent control matters for your family and your pets.
Work performed by licensed mosquito control technicians, our program addresses every stage of the mosquito life cycle. We handle the standing water, the spray, and the re-service.
We treat yards every day, and we are good at it. The backbone of everything we offer is a recurring barrier spray program. A technician treats the shrubs, foliage, and shaded resting spots around the perimeter of your property, which is where mosquitoes spend the daylight hours before they come out to bite.
Treatments are scheduled approximately every three weeks through the active season. Population reduction builds visit over visit, so the program gets more effective as the season progresses. Given Lafayette's long season, we offer extended and year-round program options to keep pressure down through the months when most companies have already shut down for the year.
Before any spray goes down, a technician walks the property. The goal is to find every place where mosquitoes are actively breeding, because treating adults without addressing the source is only half the job.
Standing water in pots, gutters, low spots, tarps, and yard debris can produce hundreds of mosquitoes before a single one is visible. We locate those sites and either eliminate them or treat them so larvae never reach the adult stage. This integrated approach, inspect, reduce, larvicide, then treat adults, is the professional standard for a reason.
Some standing water cannot be drained. Drainage ditches, ornamental water features, low-lying areas, and post-rain pooling common across Lafayette Parish all qualify. We treat those sites directly with a larvicide so that mosquito larvae are stopped before they ever become biting adults.
Planning a wedding, graduation party, or backyard gathering? A single targeted treatment timed before your event leaves the yard dry and odor-free well before guests arrive. One call handles it.
For properties that want hands-off, consistent control, a permanently installed misting system runs on a timer and delivers treatment at set intervals. These systems are well-suited to Lafayette's long season and to properties with heavy tree canopy, large outdoor living areas, or water features nearby.
Restaurant patios, HOA common areas, apartment complexes, parks, school grounds, and golf courses all face mosquito pressure that affects how people use the space. We scale the same integrated program to larger acreage and commercial properties across the parish. If mosquitoes are keeping customers or residents indoors, we can help.
The same barrier spray that targets mosquitoes also covers ticks and fleas as an optional add-on. If those pests are a concern on your property, ask about adding coverage when you call.
If you are not sure how often your yard needs treatment, a quick call gets you a straight answer and a clear price. We quote upfront. There are no hidden charges added after the first visit, and no pressure to buy a package that does not fit your property.
Same-day and this-week scheduling is available for most Lafayette-area properties. We keep you informed through the whole season, so you always know when the next visit is coming and what was done at the last one.
Same-day available. Upfront pricing. Local crew.

When mosquitoes take over the backyard, the first call starts a straightforward process. A technician visits the property, walks the yard, identifies standing water and breeding sites, and completes the first barrier treatment in the same visit. After that, re-service visits arrive on the three-week cycle automatically.
Between scheduled visits, if mosquito activity picks up, we come back at no extra charge. Re-service between scheduled visits at no extra charge is part of the program, not an upsell. Treatments are applied in a timed and targeted way to minimize off-target impact, including on pollinators. The product is dry quickly, and the yard is safe for family and pets to use again in a short time after treatment.
From the first treatment on, it is all on us.
We serve Lafayette as our home base and extend across Lafayette Parish and the surrounding area. If you are in Broussard, Youngsville, Carencro, Scott, Duson, Breaux Bridge, Opelousas, or New Iberia, we are already in your area regularly.
The technician who shows up at your door knows these neighborhoods. They know the drainage patterns, the low spots that hold water after a storm, and the yards that need extra attention after a heavy rain event. That local knowledge makes a difference in how the job gets done.

Lafayette sits in a Gulf Coast climate with high humidity, warm winters, and frequent heavy rainfall, all of which extend the mosquito season well beyond what most of the country experiences. Standing water from rain events and the area's low-lying terrain give mosquitoes near-constant breeding habitat. For many properties in Lafayette Parish, meaningful mosquito pressure runs close to year-round rather than a few months in summer.
Yes. Louisiana carries one of the heaviest dog heartworm burdens in the country, and mosquitoes are the sole transmission route. Keeping consistent mosquito pressure down on your property is one of the most practical steps a pet owner can take alongside veterinary prevention. A recurring barrier program reduces the adult mosquito population that puts your pets at risk.
A technician walks the property first, locating standing water and active breeding sites. Anything that can be drained or eliminated is handled on the spot, and water that cannot be drained is treated with a larvicide to stop larvae before they develop. Then we apply the barrier perimeter spray to foliage, shrubs, and shaded resting areas where adult mosquitoes spend their time, and the yard sees a sharp drop in activity within a short time after the visit.
We schedule barrier spray visits approximately every three weeks through the active season. That interval keeps consistent pressure on the adult mosquito population and allows the program to build effectiveness visit over visit. In Lafayette, where the season runs long, we offer extended and year-round program options so coverage does not drop off when you still need it.
Yes. If activity picks up between your scheduled visits, we come back at no extra charge. That is a standard part of the program, not an exception we make case by case. You do not need to negotiate for it or pay an additional service fee.
A one-time spray knocks down adult mosquito activity for a few weeks, but it does not address the breeding cycle or the next generation already developing in standing water on or near your property. A recurring program treats adults on a consistent schedule while also managing breeding sites, which is why results build and hold through the season rather than fading after a single visit. For most Lafayette properties, a recurring program is the only approach that delivers lasting relief.
Yes. We work with restaurant patios, HOA common areas, apartment complexes, property managers, and outdoor event venues throughout the Lafayette area. The same integrated program we bring to residential yards scales to larger and more complex properties, with scheduling and communication built around the demands of a managed site.
Call us at (337) 453-9789 and tell us about your property. We ask basic questions about yard size, property type, and any standing-water features so we can give you accurate, upfront pricing before any work begins. There are no fees that appear after the fact.
A general sense of your yard size and property type helps us put together an accurate quote, but you do not need to have exact measurements ready. When you call, we will ask a few straightforward questions and give you clear pricing from there. Nothing shifts after the visit begins.
M&S Mosquito Services exists to give Lafayette homeowners, property managers, and businesses a yard they can actually use. We offer year-round and extended programs built for Louisiana's long season, upfront pricing with no surprises, and a local crew that knows this area.

How often does a technician treat my yard on a recurring program?
We schedule barrier spray visits approximately every three weeks through the active season. That interval keeps consistent pressure on the adult mosquito population and allows results to build visit over visit. In Lafayette, where the season runs long, we also offer year-round program options so coverage does not drop off when you still need it.
How soon will I notice fewer mosquitoes after the first treatment?
Most customers notice a meaningful drop in biting activity within a day or two of the first visit. The barrier spray works quickly on adult mosquitoes resting in foliage and shaded spots. Results continue to build as subsequent visits address the next generation of adults and we work through the breeding sites on your property.
Is it safe for my kids and pets to be in the yard after a treatment?
Yes. The product dries quickly after application, and the yard is safe for family and pets to use again in a short time after the visit. We apply treatments in a timed and targeted way to minimize off-target impact, including on pollinators. If you have specific questions about the products we use, just ask when you call.
Re-Service Between Scheduled Visits
If mosquito activity picks up between your scheduled treatments, we come back at no extra charge. That is a standard part of every program, not a negotiated exception.
Do I need to leave the yard while the technician is treating?
We ask that people and pets stay inside or away from the treatment area while the technician is actively spraying. Once the application is complete and the product has had a short time to dry, the yard is ready to use again. Your technician will let you know when it is clear.
What happens if mosquitoes come back before my next scheduled visit?
We come back at no extra charge. Re-service between scheduled visits is a standard part of the program, not a special exception. If activity picks up after a heavy rain or a floodwater surge, call us and we will get a technician back to your property promptly.
What is the difference between a seasonal program and a year-round program?
A seasonal program runs through the core of the active mosquito season and then pauses. A year-round program keeps the three-week treatment cycle going through fall and winter. In Lafayette, where warm temperatures and Gulf humidity can keep mosquito pressure elevated well outside a typical summer window, many properties benefit from year-round coverage. We can help you decide which fits your situation when you call.
Integrated Mosquito Management, Source Reduction First
We inspect and reduce standing water before the spray ever goes down. Treating adults without addressing the breeding source is only half the job, and we do the whole job.
How do standing-water inspection and larviciding fit into the program?
Before any spray goes down, a technician walks the property and looks for every place where mosquitoes are actively breeding. Sites that can be drained or cleared are handled on the spot. Water that cannot be drained, such as drainage ditches, ornamental features, or low areas that hold water after rain, is treated with a larvicide so that larvae never develop into biting adults. This inspect-reduce-larvicide approach is the professional standard, and it is built into every program visit.
How far ahead should I book a one-time special-event spray?
We recommend booking at least a week before your event when possible. That gives us time to schedule the visit and time the treatment so the yard is dry and odor-free well before guests arrive. Same-week availability is often possible, but calling early gives you more flexibility on timing.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We quote clearly before any work begins, and nothing shifts after the technician arrives. What you are told on the phone is what you pay.
Does the program prevent mosquitoes entirely, or does it reduce them?
No program eliminates every mosquito, and we will not tell you otherwise. What a well-run recurring program does is keep population pressure low enough that your yard is genuinely usable. Adult activity drops sharply after each treatment, and consistent visits prevent the population from rebuilding between services. Source reduction and larviciding address the breeding cycle so fewer adults are produced on your property in the first place.
What can I do between visits to help reduce mosquitoes on my own?
The most effective thing is eliminating standing water. Empty saucers under planters, tip over anything that collects rain, clear gutters, and check tarps or low spots after a storm. Even small amounts of water can produce a large number of mosquitoes in a few days. Our technician will point out problem areas during each visit, and we handle the water that cannot simply be poured out.
How quickly can service start after I call?
Same-day and this-week scheduling is available for most properties in the Lafayette area. When you call, we ask a few straightforward questions about your yard and give you upfront pricing. From there, we get a technician on the schedule as soon as possible.
