A pest control professional can quickly apply such sprays to mosquitoes resting sites using a backpack mist blower or power sprayer or with care, this can be a do it yourself project.

Special aerosol or pesticide sprays sold or longer lasting mosquito control can be purchase in many garden and hardware stores. Pyrethroid insecticides like those containing the active ingredient shown here can last for weeks killing adult mosquitoes on their resting surfaces.
