Are they biting mosquitoes or lookalikes?
Biting mosquitoes develop in standing water, including small amounts in pots, gutters, buckets and water butts. Some insects that look like mosquitoes do not bite and need a different approach.
Bites and buzzing
Biting mosquitoes are often most noticeable in the bedroom during the evening or night.
Water that stays put
Plant saucers, buckets, tarpaulins and blocked gutters can provide breeding sites.
Insects near a drain or pond
The location can point to another species. A photo helps prevent the wrong treatment.
Species and sources
Which mosquito or lookalike is it?
Common biting mosquitoes
Their larvae develop in water. Start with small places where water collects for days.
Drain flies and non-biting midges
These can be mistaken for mosquitoes. Their location and behaviour help distinguish them.
Possible Asian tiger mosquito
Report a suspected black-and-white tiger mosquito with a photo to the Dutch NVWA; official monitoring is separate from our service.
What to do now
Get clarity on your situation
Empty small containers, turn buckets over, clear gutters and cover water butts properly. Fit screens to windows you open. Note where and when you see insects and take a clear photo, especially if they look unusual.

How Eversor helps
We start with the species and where the activity begins. Then we explain our work and the practical steps you can take.
Identify the insect
We assess photos and discuss where and when activity is worst.
Look for breeding sites
We check accessible standing water, drains and other relevant areas on the property.
Set targeted measures
We advise source removal, exclusion and suitable additional steps. Suspected invasive mosquitoes should also be reported to the NVWA.
Cost
Know the work and price beforehand
You can remove many small water sources yourself. For persistent or extensive nuisance, we investigate the insect and its breeding sites and explain our proposed work before you agree. Water or drainage beyond your property may involve an owner or manager.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions about mosquito nuisance
Will a mosquito lamp or spray solve it?
It may reduce individual adults but will not stop larvae developing in standing water. Start with the source and window screens.
Should I empty my pond?
Not automatically. Check smaller containers first. Species identification and the actual site determine what action is useful.
Where do I report an Asian tiger mosquito?
Report a suspected tiger mosquito with a photo to the Dutch NVWA. Use its official identification guidance.
Can you help with mosquitoes in my bedroom?
We investigate the insect, its route indoors and potential breeding sites, then address the cause and ways to keep them out.
