Mosquito & Tick Control in Barrington, IL
Locally Owned. Organic Treatments. Guaranteed Results.
Barrington's Locally Owned Mosquito & Tick Control Experts
Barrington is one of the most beautiful communities in the northwest suburbs — and one of the most challenging for mosquito and tick pressure. Between the wooded preserves of Cuba Marsh, the horse farms of Barrington Hills, and the densely canopied neighborhoods throughout the area, Barrington yards create ideal conditions for both mosquitoes and deer ticks.
Skeeter Beater has been protecting Barrington families and businesses since 2003. We're based right here in Hawthorn Woods, just minutes away — not a franchise operation sending crews from across the metro. Our truck-mounted sprayers reach up to 25 feet into the canopy, delivering barrier treatments that backpack sprayers simply can't match.
Every treatment covers both mosquitoes and ticks at no extra charge. Whether you need weekly service all season, a bi-weekly program, a one-time event spray for a graduation party or outdoor wedding, or a custom schedule built around your property — we have a program that fits. Call us at (888) 587-5338 or request a free quote online.
Residential Mosquito & Tick Control in Barrington
Barrington's wooded lots and proximity to forest preserves make tick exposure a real risk from early April through Halloween. Our residential barrier treatments create a protective zone around your yard that eliminates mosquitoes on contact and dramatically reduces tick populations — including deer ticks that carry Lyme disease.
In fact, 37% of deer ticks in Lake County test positive for Lyme.
We offer four service programs for Barrington homeowners:
Weekly treatments — maximum protection all season long
Bi-weekly treatments — reliable coverage at a comfortable pace
One-time event spray — perfect for weddings, graduations, and backyard parties
Custom schedule — tailored to your property and calendar
Our products are eco-friendly, derived from natural chrysanthemum extract, and safe for kids, dogs, horses, and all pets. If you're not satisfied after any treatment, we return and re-treat for free — no questions asked.

Why Barrington Homeowners Choose Skeeter Beater
There are plenty of mosquito control options out there. Here's why Barrington families keep coming back to Skeeter Beater year after year.
Truck-mounted equipment, not backpack sprayers. Our rigs reach 25 feet up into the tree canopy — critical in a wooded community like Barrington Hills, where mosquitoes breed and rest in overhead foliage that handheld sprayers never reach.
Mosquitoes and ticks are covered together. Every single treatment eliminates both mosquitoes and ticks, including deer ticks that carry Lyme disease. You don't pay extra for tick control — it's built into every visit. Learn more about our tick control services.
Organic and family-safe products. Our barrier spray is derived from natural chrysanthemum extract. It's odorless, breaks down safely in the environment, and poses no risk to children, pets, horses, or pollinators when applied correctly.
10-day guarantee.
If mosquitoes return within 10 days of any treatment, we come back and re-treat at no charge. No arguments, no hassle.
Local since 2003. We're not a national franchise. We're your neighbors, based in Hawthorn Woods, familiar with the specific conditions in Barrington, Long Grove, Lake Zurich, and the surrounding communities. Read about mosquito control tips specific to the Barrington area.
Tick Season in Barrington Starts Earlier Than You Think
Most Barrington residents think of mosquitoes as a summer problem and ticks as a late-spring concern. The reality is that deer ticks become active when temperatures reach 40°F — which in the Barrington area typically means late March or early April. By the time you see mosquitoes in May, tick season has already been underway for weeks.
Cuba Marsh Forest Preserve, the Barrington Hills trail system, and the wooded buffer zones throughout the area are all prime deer tick habitat. If your property backs up to preserved land, borders a wooded lot, or has significant tree cover, your risk is elevated.
Our treatments run from April 1 through October 31, aligned with Illinois tick season guidelines. Starting early in April gives your property maximum protection during the highest-risk window. Learn what to know about deer ticks in the Chicagoland area.
