120 Pest provides professional mosquito control for homeowners across Canton, Woodstock, Holly Springs, Ball Ground, and the surrounding communities. Our BiteZone™ mosquito treatment is designed to rapidly clear your yard of mosquitoes and keep them away for up to 30 days per application. We’re a family-owned company with over 30 years of experience, and mosquito season treatment is one of the services our customers count on us for every year.
How the BiteZone™ Barrier Treatment Works
The BiteZone™ mosquito treatment is a barrier spray service that targets mosquitoes where they live, rest, and breed on your property. The treatment uses a 100% biodegradable solution that is applied to the underside of foliage, nesting sites, and areas where mosquitoes harbor during the day. The product adheres to these surfaces and creates a protective barrier that kills mosquitoes on contact and helps stop reproduction, reducing the future population on your property over time.
In addition to treating foliage and resting sites, every BiteZone service includes treatment of active breeding areas: standing water, yard drains, downspout discharge areas, and anywhere dormant larvae or adult mosquitoes may be present. This two-pronged approach is what makes professional mosquito barrier treatment significantly more effective than consumer foggers and citronella candles.
Protection that lasts
Each application provides up to 30 days of mosquito control, creating a sustained barrier across your outdoor living spaces.
The treatment rapidly clears your yard, backyard, and garden of mosquitoes. One treatment and you can enjoy your outdoor spaces for the next four weeks.
Breeding site elimination
We don’t just target adult mosquitoes. We treat standing water, drains, and downspout areas to clear dormant larvae and prevent the next generation from emerging.
The BiteZone formula helps disrupt the mosquito reproductive cycle, which means each successive treatment builds on the last and the mosquito population on your property decreases over time.
Simple scheduling
Treatments are scheduled on a monthly cycle during mosquito season, which runs from March through November in North Georgia. You don’t need to be home for the service.
Seasonal and Monthly Treatment Plans
Mosquito season in Georgia runs roughly nine months, from the first warm rains of March through the cooling temperatures of November. That’s a long stretch to manage on your own, and it’s why most homeowners who try backyard mosquito control with store-bought products eventually give up because the effort is constant, the results are inconsistent, and the mosquitoes always seem to come back.
Our treatment plans are designed around the seasonal reality of mosquito pressure in Cherokee County:
- Monthly service. Treatments are scheduled approximately every 30 days throughout the active season. Each visit refreshes the barrier on your property and addresses any new breeding sites that have developed since the last application.
- Seasonal plans. We offer seasonal packages that cover the full March-through-November mosquito season. You schedule it once in the spring and we handle the rest.
- One-time treatments. Hosting a graduation party, wedding reception, family reunion, or other outdoor event? A single BiteZone treatment before your event can make the difference between guests enjoying themselves and guests retreating indoors.

Organic Mosquito Control
Not every family wants traditional chemical applications in their yard, especially around children, pets, and gardens. 120 Pest offers an organic mosquito control option that uses products derived entirely from natural sources.
Our organic mosquito treatment combines two types of naturally derived products: one based on plant essential oils and another derived from a naturally occurring bacteria. Together, they provide effective mosquito control and include a reproductive regulator that disrupts the mosquito life cycle. Neither product will harm pollinators, and both are safe for children, cats, dogs, and other pets.
This environmentally friendly solution provides lasting mosquito prevention without any negative environmental impact. It’s a popular choice for homeowners who want professional-grade results with a naturally derived approach, and it’s available as a standalone service or as part of a seasonal treatment plan.
Bee-Friendly Mosquito Control System
For homeowners who want continuous mosquito protection without repeated spray applications, our bee-friendly mosquito control system offers an innovative alternative. This advanced system uses strategically placed stations around your property that provide comprehensive coverage against mosquitoes without traditional spraying methods.
Key features of the bee-friendly system include:
- Discreet, tamper-resistant stations that blend into your landscaping with minimal visual disruption.
- Continuous operation: the system starts protecting your outdoor space from the day of installation.
- No need for frequent spray visits, reducing the overall product applied to your yard.
- Designed to target mosquitoes while protecting beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies.
This system is an excellent fit for properties near gardens, apiaries, or natural areas where pollinator protection is a priority. It can also be combined with periodic barrier treatments for properties with especially heavy mosquito pressure.
Mosquito Misting Systems
120 Pest offers installation and maintenance of professional mosquito misting systems. As an authorized distributor for Coastal Misting, we provide automated misting solutions that deliver timed applications of mosquito control product through a network of nozzles installed around your property’s perimeter.
A misting system is a permanent installation that provides ongoing mosquito control with minimal effort on your part. Once installed, the system runs on a programmed schedule, dispensing a fine mist at optimal times, typically dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. The result is consistent, automated protection for your yard, patio, pool area, and outdoor living spaces throughout the entire season.
If you’re interested in a misting system for your property, contact us to schedule a consultation. We’ll evaluate your yard layout and recommend the right configuration for your space.
Why Mosquito Control Matters Beyond Comfort
Mosquitoes are more than a nuisance. They are vectors for serious diseases, and professional mosquito control is an important step in protecting your family’s health.
Mosquito-borne diseases present in or relevant to the southeastern United States include:
- West Nile virus. The most common mosquito-borne illness in the continental United States. Most infected individuals show no symptoms, but severe cases can cause neurological damage. Georgia reports cases annually.
- Eastern equine encephalitis. A rare but serious viral illness transmitted by mosquitoes in swampy, wooded areas.
- Zika virus. Though primarily associated with tropical regions, travel-related cases have been reported in Georgia, and local mosquito populations can carry the virus.
Reducing the mosquito population on your property isn’t just about enjoying your backyard without bites. It’s about reducing the risk of disease transmission for your family, your pets, and your neighbors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a BiteZone treatment last?
Each BiteZone barrier treatment provides up to 30 days of mosquito control. Monthly treatments throughout the season maintain consistent protection and help reduce the overall mosquito population on your property over time.
Is the organic mosquito treatment effective?
Yes. Our organic treatment uses products derived from plant essential oils and a naturally occurring bacteria, combined with a reproductive regulator. It provides effective mosquito control while being safe for children, pets, and pollinators.
Will the treatment harm bees or butterflies?
Our standard BiteZone treatment is applied to mosquito resting and nesting sites which minimizes contact with pollinators. For homeowners who want additional pollinator protection, our bee-friendly station system and organic treatments are specifically designed to avoid harming beneficial insects.
Do I need to be home during treatment?
No. Our technicians treat the exterior of your property, and you don’t need to be present. We’ll notify you when the service is complete so you know your yard is ready to enjoy.
What’s the difference between a barrier treatment and a misting system?
A barrier treatment is a monthly service visit where a technician applies product to your yard. A misting system is a permanent installation with nozzles around your property’s perimeter that dispenses product automatically on a programmed schedule. Both are effective — the right choice depends on your property, budget, and preference for hands-off automation versus scheduled service visits.
