Can Kids Play in the Yard After a Mosquito Treatment?

Posted by Mosquito Squad

May 27, 2025

If you’re like most other parents, keeping your children protected from mosquito bites is likely one of your priorities during times of peak mosquito activity. However, how can you accomplish this while still providing your children with a space where they can get all those wiggles out? Mosquito Squad has your answer!

Why Use Mosquito Control Treatments?

For parents, keeping kids healthy and thriving is always a top priority. Ironically, that’s also what female mosquitoes are up to when they bite. They feed on humans and other animals in order to support their rapidly multiplying offspring, which, for some species, could mean hundreds of eggs.

Unfortunately, their bites tend to cause problems. The real concern, however, isn’t just the itchiness and discomfort. Mosquitoes can transmit serious illnesses, and young children with developing immune systems are especially susceptible.

If you’re a resident of Firestone, mosquito control is essential for families who want to reduce the risk of exposure to mosquito-borne diseases. Mosquito Squad provides professional treatments designed to help protect your child from threats like West Nile virus, Zika virus, and other illnesses mosquitoes may carry.

With regular service, our treatments help reduce mosquito populations around your yard for up to 21 days at a time. Don’t let mosquitoes compromise your family's comfort or health. Instead, turn to Mosquito Squad for dependable Firestone mosquito control you can trust.

How Does the Barrier Treatment Work?

Our traditional Firestone mosquito control barrier treatment doesn’t just target adult mosquitoes. It also helps reduce the potential for future generations by disrupting mosquito breeding grounds. When applied, the treatment continues working for up to 21 days, dramatically reducing the mosquito population in your yard by up to 85-90%.

If you prefer a more natural approach, we also offer a treatment option made with essential oils. This natural treatment is just as effective as our traditional treatment and leaves a pleasant scent in your yard at the same time!

It’s important to note that neither option leaves behind a sticky residue or unpleasant odor. Once dried, both options blend into the background of your landscape while quietly doing the job they’re designed for.

When Can Kids Play in the Yard After a Mosquito Treatment?

It’s a common question we hear from parents considering Firestone mosquito control: how soon can kids play outside after a mosquito treatment? The answer is simple—children and pets can return to the yard just 30 minutes after the treatment has been applied and has had time to dry.

Once mosquito yard sprays have dried, the likelihood of any exposure to the chemicals in the formula is greatly reduced. This is why our team instructs all customers to wait at least a half hour before letting kids or pets back outside.

We also schedule our visits with convenience in mind so we can work with you to ensure that treatments are applied at the best time for your schedule without even needing to come indoors. This way, playtime and backyard gatherings don’t have to be interrupted for long.
