There is still plenty of summer left to enjoy -- don't let mosquitoes invade your time outdoors

Posted by Mosquito Squad

August 2, 2017

It may seem late in the season, but there is still plenty of summer left to enjoy. Whether you are spending time in the pool, practicing with your kids for upcoming Fall sports such as football, cheer or soccer, or even planning your Labor Day celebration, keeping everyone safe from mosquitoes is key to making the most out of your time outdoors.

Now, more than ever, it is important to remain vigilant with your mosquito control program as most cases of the mosquito-borne illness, West Nile Virus, are diagnosed in the fall. Mosquitoes remain active until temperatures begin to dip into the 50’s. Since they are cold-blooded they generally will not bite in temperatures below 50F. However, as Fall temperatures rise and fall from day to evening, mosquitoes will continue to feed as long as the weather is warm enough.

Don’t let mosquitoes claim the remainder of your summer!

At Mosquito Squad of Boston Metro South, when we talk about backyard mosquito control we don’t mean using cans of DEET, citronella candles or tiki torches to protect your guests, we mean mosquito control in the form of our barrier treatment that can eliminate up to 90% of the mosquitoes in your yard. That’s right; we said 90%!

During our barrier treatment, we will target the surfaces that include shrubbery and foliage (avoiding flowers), around and underneath decks and patios, fences, tall grass, and low hanging vegetation. Mosquitoes on your property at the time will be eliminated on contact. Our barrier treatment will continue to protect day and night, as it has a residual effect that lasts up to three weeks.
