No-Spray Mosquito Control in Alabama
CO2 traps that catch mosquitoes around the clock, with nothing sprayed in your yard. Season runs March through October, starting at $125/month.
Mosquito control for people who would rather not spray
Some of us don't want anything sprayed on the yard. Maybe you keep a vegetable garden. Maybe you planted for pollinators, or the kids and the dog live out back from March to October. We get it, and for a long time we didn't have a good answer for you.
Now we do. Sipsey is a Biogents Authorized Partner, and we install and service the Biogents BG-Mosquitaire CO2 trap for homeowners across Greater Birmingham.
Here's the short version. A mosquito finds you by your breath and the scent of your skin. The trap puts out both, so she heads for the trap instead of your ankles. A small fan pulls her into a catch bag and that's the end of it. No fogging and no spray on your plants.
- Nothing sprayed on your lawn, shrubs or garden
- Works day and night, including when you're not home
- We install it, service it and swap the CO2 every month
- Standing water checked and handled on every visit
- Month to month. Stop whenever you want.
What you get every month
A professional install
We walk the yard, find where mosquitoes rest and breed, and set the trap where it will catch the most. Usually that's a shady spot near shrubs, away from where you sit.
Monthly CO2 exchange
We bring a full tank and haul off the empty one. You never lift a cylinder or drive to a gas supplier.
Trap service
Every visit we empty the catch bag, clean the trap, and check the fan and airflow. The lure gets replaced on schedule, every 8 weeks.
Standing water, handled
We hunt down the water mosquitoes breed in. What can be dumped gets dumped. Water that can't be drained gets a larvicide placed directly in it.
Placement tune-ups
Mosquito pressure moves around as the season goes. If the trap would do better ten feet over, we move it. No extra charge.
Repairs on us
The trap is ours, so if something quits working, we fix it or swap it out.
How CO2 mosquito trapping works
Free yard assessment
We come out, look at the property, and tell you how many traps make sense and where they'd go. A good starting point is one trap for about a quarter acre, but trees, shade and nearby water change the math. You get a straight number before you commit to anything.
Install
We set the trap, connect the CO2 and plug it in. It needs an outdoor outlet, and the trap comes with a 33-foot cord to reach one. Most installs take under an hour.
The trap goes to work
It runs 24 hours a day and catches the female mosquitoes that would have bitten you and then laid eggs. Fewer egg-layers this week means fewer mosquitoes next month. Results build over time. Most yards notice fewer bites in the first week or two.
Monthly visits through October
Fresh CO2, a clean trap, a standing water check. We bill only during mosquito season.
What it costs
No "call for a quote" here. These are the prices.
Full-service plans (trap, install, monthly CO2, trap service, standing water treatment)
| Plan | Monthly price | Works out to |
|---|---|---|
| 1 trap | $125 | $125 per trap |
| 2 traps | $225 | $112.50 per trap |
| 3 traps | $300 | $100 per trap |
Other ways to do it
| Option | Monthly price | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Trap rental only | $50 | You get the trap. You handle your own CO2 and upkeep. |
| CO2 delivery, 1 trap | $90 | You already own a Biogents trap. We keep it supplied. |
| CO2 delivery, 2 traps | $140 | Same, for two traps. |
| CO2 delivery, 3 traps | $190 | Same, for three traps. |
| Barrier spray add-on | $75 | A conventional monthly spray, added on top of your traps. More on that below. |
The fine print, in regular print:
- Billing runs March through October. Nothing in the off months.
- Month to month. No contract.
- The yard assessment is free.
- The trap uses about as much power as a night light. Figure well under a dollar a month on your power bill.
Two ways to handle mosquitoes. Here's the honest difference.
We offer both, so we have no reason to oversell either one.
| Compare | No-spray traps | Barrier spray |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Lures mosquitoes in with CO2 and skin scent, then traps them | A residual treatment on leaves and shaded surfaces where mosquitoes rest |
| What goes on your yard | Nothing | A conventional pesticide |
| Price | From $125/month | From $75/month |
| How fast | Builds over a few weeks | Knocks adults down quickly |
| Works around the clock | Yes | Each treatment lasts about 30 days |
| Best for | Gardens, pollinator plantings, anyone who wants no spray | The lowest price and the fastest drop |
Where traps fall short. They cost more. They take a few weeks to hit their stride. And by Biogents' own account, the trap is built for tiger mosquitoes (the striped daytime biters most Alabama yards deal with) and does less against other biting insects. It won't do much for gnats or flies.
Can you do both? Yes. You can run traps all season and add the barrier spray for $75 a month. Just know what you're adding. The spray is a conventional pesticide treatment. The "nothing sprayed in your yard" promise belongs to the traps alone.
Why homeowners choose us for no-spray mosquito control
We hunt the water
A trap catches the mosquitoes flying around today. Standing water is where next month's come from. We deal with both on every visit, and that's included in the price.
We'll tell you if it's the wrong fit
If your yard and your budget point to the $75 barrier spray, we'll say so. We sell both and we'd rather you get the right one.
You deal with Wes
Locally owned, based in Vestavia Hills, serving Greater Birmingham since 2022. When you call, you get someone who has been in your yard.
Straight talk on results
Traps cut mosquito pressure way down. They don't take it to zero, and nobody honest will promise you that.
What a trap network did for one neighborhood park
Cokesbury Park in North Carolina had mosquitoes bad enough that the neighborhood had stopped using it. Eight Biogents traps went in. In just over a year they caught more than 1 million mosquitoes.
To be clear, that was a commercial trap network in a public park, not a backyard install. Your catch will be a lot smaller because your yard is a lot smaller. The trapping method is the same one we set up at your house.
The trap program is new. The people running it aren't.
We just started offering no-spray trapping, so we don't have trap reviews to show you yet. Here's what customers say about working with us.
"Luke and Wes are great. Solid and trustworthy…and…they earnestly care about helping their customers rather than spray and pray."
"Sipsey is great! Wes is very reliable and provides top tier customer service. He goes out of his way to make sure his customers are happy with the pest control service."
"We have been very happy with Sipsey Pest Solutions. Wes and his team are very responsive, knowledgeable, and on top of it. They have tackled several of our pest control problems and have gone above and beyond to solve them."
