The Mosquito Control EP is the first studio release by American post-metal band Isis, released in 1998 by Escape Artist. The piece runs fluent through all 29 minutes, and all four songs are linked through consistent bouts of chaos and lyrics glued by the metaphor of insect swarms for the failure of a human relationship.

Mosquito Control introduces the first major theme, the mosquito. As well, the reissue of this EP features cover art depicting control towers (the central theme of Celestial).
