Oshawa homeowners know the feeling — you step outside on a summer evening and the mosquitoes drive you back inside within minutes. With the Oshawa Creek corridor, Lakeview Park, and hundreds of residential properties backing onto ravines and storm ponds, standing water is everywhere. That means mosquito breeding grounds are everywhere too.
Mosquito Man Plus is a locally operated mosquito control company based right here in Durham Region. Unlike national chains, we know Oshawa's neighbourhoods — from Pinecrest and Eastdale to Samac and Kedron — and we tailor every treatment to the specific conditions of your yard. Our barrier spray treatments eliminate adult mosquitoes on contact and keep protecting your property for up to 21 days per application.
We're part of the Bugman Plus family, so you're getting a local team with real roots in this community — not a call centre hundreds of kilometres away.
Why Mosquitoes Are a Problem in Oshawa
Oshawa's geography creates ideal mosquito conditions every summer. A few key reasons mosquitoes thrive here:
- Oshawa Creek & Second Marsh: These natural wetland areas are prime mosquito breeding zones during warm months.
- Storm water ponds: The newer north Oshawa subdivisions — Kedron, Windfields, Taunton — are built around retention ponds that collect standing water after every rainfall.
- Mature tree canopy: Older neighbourhoods like Donevan and O'Neill have dense shade that keeps ground moisture high — another mosquito magnet.
- Warm, humid summers: Durham Region summers create a long mosquito season that typically runs May through September.
Professional barrier spray is the most effective way to break this cycle and reclaim your outdoor space.
How Our Mosquito Treatment Works in Oshawa
- Inspection: We walk your property and identify mosquito hotspots — standing water, dense vegetation, shaded damp areas, and entry points from neighbouring properties.
- Barrier Spray Treatment: We apply a targeted barrier spray to trees, shrubs, fence lines, and ground cover. The treatment bonds to foliage and kills mosquitoes on contact, then continues working for up to 21 days.
- Breeding Source Control: Where possible, we advise on eliminating standing water sources — bird baths, low spots, clogged gutters — to reduce future breeding.
- Follow-Up Service: We return every 21 days throughout mosquito season to maintain your protection barrier.
Most treatments take 20–40 minutes. You can return to your yard once the product has dried — typically within 30 minutes.
