Frequently asked questions

How long does one mosquito treatment last?

We have an all natural treatment as well as a synthetic treatment. Our All Natural products work as a repellent and will be affective for 14 days, while our Synthetic will kill mosquitoes on contact and continue to be affective for 21 days. We are also able to combine the treatments at your property, in which the 21 day schedule is usually sufficient.

How do I know which treatment to choose?

Upon arrival, your licensed technician will walk your property to evaluate and customize the best solution for your yard. For example, properties with Fish Ponds or Vegetable Gardens, we use our All Natural around those areas, while we use our Synthetic around the house and perimeter. Areas with standing water will be tipped if possible and treated.

Will your treatment prevent my neighbor's mosquitoes from flying into my yard?

Yes! Mosquitoes can only fly a short distance before they have to rest. As they land on any area we have treated, such as a fence, shrubbery, plant or tree leaves, they will come in contact with our product and be eliminated.

What happens if it rains?

Once our product has had time to dry, usually 30 minutes, water from rain or a lawn sprinkler will not impact your service. After a good rain, you may experience some mosquito activity within 5-7 days while newly hatched mosquitoes fly around. Once they land on our treated areas, they will be gone the next day, Our product is made to last up to 21 days before naturally breaking down from water and direct sunlight. .

Do I need to be home when you treat?

Nope, we got you covered. We will leave a service notice at your front door with any notes about the service and what time we finished your application.

Will the products harm my kids or pets?

Our licensed and professionally trained technicians apply our products in a very safe manor. The products we use are similar to the products in pet and Lice Shampoos and household pest control products. We ask that you stay off areas we treat for 30 minutes so the mosquito barrier is not disturbed. Once dry, our products are bonded to the areas we treat and will not rub off, so you are free to go back outside and play.

Why should I treat if my city has Mosquito trucks that spray?

It is great that some municipalities spray for mosquitoes targeting large problem areas. . Unfortunately, as they spray neighborhood streets, the fogging goes where the wind blows. It is unlikely that much, if any of the product will help your back yard. Our technicians use back pack blowers and our treatments target the mosquitoes currently in your yard, as well as preventing new populations. Our satisfaction guarantee lets you enjoy being outside.
