Pickett Pest Control LLC (435-781-0111) has expanded its mosquito pest control services in Duchesne, Utah, amid a statewide spike in West Nile virus detections.

Vernal, United States, August 8, 2025 -- Utah health departments have reported more than 170 mosquito pools testing positive for West Nile virus in 2025 (The Daily Utah Chronicle; Utah Epidemiology West Nile Virus Reports), triggering heightened public health concerns and increased demand for mosquito extermination services across affected areas. In response, Pickett Pest Control has enhanced its mosquito control operations in Duchesne to help limit disease transmission.

The service includes targeted treatment plans focused on eliminating breeding sites and reducing adult mosquito populations, with options available from $39 per month.

According to the company, the West Nile virus is primarily transmitted by the Northern House mosquito (Culex pipiens), one of several mosquito species found in Utah. Other problematic vectors include the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), associated with Zika and chikungunya, and the Eastern Saltmarsh mosquito (Aedes sollicitans), a known carrier of eastern equine encephalitis. Pickett Pest Control targets all these varieties.

Pickett Pest Control applies proven Integrated Pest Management techniques and eco-friendly solutions to deliver effective, long-term mosquito suppression. The company emphasizes both treatment and prevention education to support public health and safety.

A company representative stated, "We use organic, family-safe methods to eliminate mosquito breeding sites and adult populations. Our approach combines professional treatment with education about prevention to deliver long-term results."

Same-day appointments are available, and complimentary home evaluations are typically completed within 72 hours of request.
