Yes. Professional barrier treatments can reduce mosquito activity on your property by up to 85-90% when applied on a consistent schedule throughout the season.
If you’ve spent your summer swatting at mosquitoes, it’s probably crossed your mind. Professional treatment: is it worth it? Or is it an expense you don’t need and that doesn’t work as well as it ought to?
Long story short: professional mosquito treatments work. And they work a lot better than DIY options. There’s a simple reason why: barrier treatments are applied directly to vegetation, shaded areas, and resting sites. These are where mosquitoes spend their time when they’re not flying around. When they come into contact with these EPA-registered products, it knocks them down.
This is a totally different story than using store-bought spray or citronella candles. Retail products create small, temporary zones of reduced activity. Professional treatments help control mosquitoes on a population level because they break the breeding cycle.
Another reason professional treatments work is because they’re consistent. One-off treatments can help, but mosquitoes breed fast. That means they regroup fast. One batch of standing water can produce hundreds of new adult mosquitoes in a week. Regular treatments help keep them from being able to do this.
No treatment can eliminate mosquitoes entirely. Anyone promising that is overpromising. But you can expect up to a 90% reduction in the mosquito population with good treatment.
