We love the warm days of summer…
Many of us break out the grill and light up the campfire for s’mores. Others relax or play in the pool. Often those picture-perfect moments are interrupted by the buzz of an approaching mosquito — and for most of us, citronella candles are not effective enough.
When you contact us, a licensed technician treats your yard with a barrier spray that eliminates biters for 30 days. That is nine days longer than other mosquito control companies, so you save money with fewer applications. Using a backpack sprayer designed for precise application, your technician targets shrubs, trees, mulch beds and leaf litter with a spray that kills mosquitoes on contact and bonds to foliage, where it keeps working as a repellent for weeks to come.
The safety of our family and pets matters as much to us as it does to you, so here is what we use. The barrier spray chemicals in our traditional program are synthetic forms of pyrethrins called pyrethroids. Pyrethrins are insecticides derived from a naturally occurring compound, pyrethrum, found in the chrysanthemum flower. Pyrethroids are used in numerous consumer products — household insecticides, pet shampoos and sprays, even lice shampoos applied directly to the scalp. The products are water-based, mixed in water, will not harm plants, and anything we use is registered with the EPA.
Within 30 minutes of spraying, your yard is ready for family and pets to come out and play.
What's Included
How a mosquito treatment runs
Fifteen to thirty minutes, placed where mosquitoes actually sit.
First
The first application goes down in the first two weeks of May, once there are leaves on the trees for the barrier to bond to. Coverage runs through the first two weeks of October.
Treatment
A typical visit takes 15 to 30 minutes — longer for bigger properties. The technician works the undersides of dense shrubs, the area under decks, mulch beds, leaf litter and damp shaded corners, not the open lawn.
Barrier
The spray kills mosquitoes on contact and then bonds to foliage, where it acts as a repellent for weeks. The same treatment is effective on other pests including fleas, ticks and some flies.
After
Give it 20 to 30 minutes to dry completely, depending on temperature and humidity. Once it is dry, the deck, pool and yard are ready for family and pets again.
