Sandston sits in Henrico County right beside Richmond International Airport, where I-64 and VA-156 carry steady traffic through a suburban layout of older homes and mature trees. The combination of red clay soil and long humid summers creates standing water against foundations and in low spots that draws mosquitoes close to houses.
VA Mosquito Pros travels from its Midlothian base to Sandston to treat properties in the Sandston Historic District and surrounding neighborhoods. Crews focus on crawlspaces, shaded yards under hardwood canopy, and drainage spots that hold water after rain, using methods suited to the four-season climate.
Residents along roads like those feeding into VA-156 often notice increased activity once summer humidity sets in. Regular visits help keep mosquitoes from building up around Sandston Park and nearby homes that sit close to airport edges and wooded lots.
