Are Bugs Worse After Pest Control?

Posted by Mosquito Squad

April 2, 2024

Pest control is supposed to deter or get rid of a lot of bugs.

How can there be an increase in bug activity after your yard is treated? This really depends on the type of pest. There are also a few other factors that determine whether you might see more bugs directly after your pest control service.

Are there more mosquitoes after mosquito control treatments?

Once you receive a mosquito control treatment, you should notice fewer mosquitoes, not more. Mosquito Squad’s mosquito control treatments are formulated to knock down mosquitoes on contact, and to continue controlling them for two or three weeks. Our mosquito control can rid your property of up to 85-90% of the mosquito population. If you see more mosquitoes after your mosquito control service, you can call (575) 221-1787 within 21 days to discuss a complimentary re-treatment.

Can pest control treatments result in more spiders?

Maybe. When your yard is treated for mosquitoes or gnats, spiders might take the opportunity to feast on their carcasses. The opposite, however, is certainly true. If you have lots of mosquitoes, gnats, and other pests around your property, you can have a huge increase in spiders. You might notice this in the warm weather seasons, where spider webs seem to pop up in minutes, especially around your outdoor lights. You might also notice lots of flying pests trapped in those webs, where they will become a spider’s feast. Spiders serve as Mother Nature’s pest control around your property. 

Ant control could cause more ants in the beginning.

If you are receiving your first fire ant control treatment, you might notice these crimson offenders scurrying around your home or business in force. If we have treated your property using bait or broadcast granule pest control for ants and fleas, you might see more of them in the beginning. That is because they are coming for the bait and taking it back to their nests – an integral part of bait pest control’s function. You should see fewer of these pests within 7 to 10 days as the bait is picked up and taken back to be shared with their pesky cohorts.
