Mosquito control where the Thames meets Long Island Sound and state surveillance tracks every season.
Call (844) 924-1337Nearly half of New London's chartered area is water, sitting where the Thames opens into Long Island Sound, and the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station's statewide surveillance network traps and tests mosquitoes in towns across the state every summer and fall. West Nile virus shows up in Connecticut samples most years, with the rarer Eastern Equine Encephalitis the more dangerous find.
Results get reported publicly town by town, and actual control happens in yards, through treatment and standing water removal. Call (844) 924-1337 to discuss pest control help in New London and check service availability.

Describe where mosquitoes interrupt your use of the property and mention any nearby yard areas and places where water collects. Explain whether these areas hold water after rain or watering and whether the concern is on your property or a shared area. This helps define what needs assessment without assuming one yard treatment covers every possible source.
The most effective approach usually combines eliminating standing water where mosquitoes breed with a barrier treatment applied to vegetation and other resting spots. A yard assessment can help identify water sources and sheltered resting areas that need attention.
Effectiveness varies by method and how consistently it's applied. Barrier treatments tend to reduce mosquito activity for a period of time before wearing off, which is why recurring service is common. Ask how the proposed approach addresses the conditions in your yard and how follow-up activity will be evaluated.
Record where activity returns and whether it is in the same areas as before. Mention rain, watering, or newly collected water since the visit, and ask how follow-up will assess those changes. Comparing observations with the original problem is more useful than assuming returning mosquitoes mean every part of the treatment should simply be repeated.
