How the mosquito control program works
The program is simple. We perform a detailed inspection of your property and assess the locations where mosquitoes may hide or breed. These are also the places that ticks can be found, especially deer ticks which are the most significant vector for Lyme disease. Mosquitoes and ticks love areas that are shaded and moist.
Once we have evaluated your property, we will apply a treatment to bushes, shrubs and areas favored by these pests. This treatment works to eliminate mosquitoes and ticks that come to hide or breed. But it doesn't last forever. Our treatments are effective for approximately 30-40 days depending on the weather. So, we have to come back 6 to 7 times during the season to re-treat those areas. This will ensure that your yard is protected during peak mosquito season.
If you have areas in your yard where there is standing water that cannot be removed, we can apply chemical to the water to kill any mosquito eggs that may be present, and keep mosquitoes from using these sites as a breeding location.
