If you want relief from mosquitoes for a full season, you need recurring treatments. Each barrier treatment will only stay effective for about three weeks.
You might wonder: is it possible to just do one mosquito treatment and call it done? It’s a fair question, and the answer comes down to how long treatments last and how long mosquito seasons last.
Barrier treatments work for about three weeks at a time. Over the course of that window, the product on the foliage will gradually wear down. Time and weather break it apart. Mosquitoes also keep hatching and drifting in from around the area. So while you’ll enjoy a lot of relief from a single treatment, it isn’t permanent. Once it wears off, the mosquitoes can rebuild.
This is why recurring service is the standard for mosquito control. Reapplying the treatment every three weeks is the best way to make sure you enjoy continued relief from mosquitoes. Mosquitoes don’t need long to breed. When it’s warm outside, eggs can become adults, the sort that will bite you, within a week. And a female mosquito can lay 100–300 eggs at a time. The math is openly hostile, which is why proactive pest control is the way to go.
One-time service is available, and is often good for specific events. If you're hosting a graduation party, a wedding, or a backyard gathering, a single special event treatment timed a day or two ahead knocks the mosquitoes down for that day.
If you're tired of the mosquitoes bouncing back a few weeks after a single treatment, Mosquito Squad of North Central Minnesota can help. Mosquito Squad keeps the barrier refreshed on a recurring cycle. This can help you to protect your yard with up to 90% reduction in mosquito activity every 21 days.
