Mosquito Treatment
The patio was built for supper, not for swatting. Mosquitoes hatch in standing water: a flowerpot saucer, a clogged gutter, a forgotten bucket. About two weeks later, the next batch is flying. Spraying the air gets tonight’s mosquitoes. Treating where they breed and rest gives you the yard back.
MOSQUITO CONTROL STARTS AT THE SOURCE
We find the water: Your technician checks anything holding water: gutters, plant saucers, birdbaths, buckets, and toys. That’s where the eggs are.
We treat where they rest: Adult mosquitoes spend the day in shade, under decks and in shrubs. We treat those spots, along with water that can’t be dumped, like ponds and rain barrels.
We come back monthly: One treatment wears off, and the next generation is already on its way. Regular visits through mosquito season keep the numbers down.
WHAT ATTRACTS MOSQUITOES
Water that sits: It doesn’t have to be a pond. Old tires, trash can lids, a sagging pool cover, and anything else that holds rain for a few days will do.
Somewhere cool to wait: Tall grass, overgrown beds, and the dark space under patio furniture stay humid through the afternoon, which is what a resting mosquito wants.
Somebody to bite: Only females bite, and they need a blood meal to lay eggs. A yard with people and pets in it every evening keeps them close.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Start with the water. Once a week, dump, scrub, or cover anything that holds it, because that’s where mosquitoes hatch. Then kill the adult mosquitoes where they rest, in shade and dense plants. Doing only one leaves half the population in place, so our service treats both.
It varies depending on several factors. It could be weeks or a month, not the whole season. A treatment wears down with sun, rain, and time, and most mosquito species can fly in from a mile or more away. That’s why mosquito control is a series of visits through the season and not a single spray.
Yes. Once dry, our treatments are kid-safe and pet-safe. Your technician will tell you what was treated and when the yard is ready, and will answer any questions about the products we use.
Dawn and dusk for most species, from summer into fall. Some backyard mosquitoes also bite in the middle of the day, so a sunny afternoon is no guarantee.
No. Only female mosquitoes bite, because they need a blood meal to produce eggs. Males feed on plant nectar and leave you alone.
No. Many are nuisance mosquitoes that bite but don’t spread germs. Some species do, which is one more reason to keep the numbers down around your property.
