SEVEN EXPERT TIPS FOR MOSQUITO CONTROL

Mosquitoes carry a variety of diseases that can be deadly, such as West Nile Virus and Malaria. If you’re not sure how to control the mosquito population in your yard, our mosquito control experts are always ready to help. Below our team of highly trained technicians provides you with helpful tips to protect your family and home from mosquitoes.

  • Tip: Get rid of standing water in your outdoor spaces. Standing water may be in your child’s plastic toys, areas underneath downspouts, plant saucers, or dog bowls. Other areas may include traps, gutters, and flat roofs.
  • Toss: Remove excess grass, leaves, firewood, and grass-clippings from your yard.
  • Turn: Turn over larger yard items that could hold water, like children's portable sandboxes, plastic toys, or birdbaths.
  • Remove Tarps: If tarps stretched over firewood piles, boats, or sports equipment aren't taut, they may be holding water that you should remove.
  • Take Care: Take care of home maintenance needs that can lead to standing water. This includes cleaning out gutters, making sure downspouts are adequately attached, keeping your grass cut low, and check irrigation systems for leaks.
  • Team Up: Despite taking all precautions in your own home, talking to neighbors is a crucial component to mosquito and tick control. Homes with little space between lots can mean that mosquitoes breed at a neighbor’s house and affect your property.
  • Treat: Utilize a mosquito elimination barrier treatment around your home and yard.

HOW TO CONTROL THE MOSQUITO POPULATION

Implementing the 7 T’s of mosquito control is essential to protect you and your family from bites and diseases. However, there are other things you can do that can help you eliminate mosquitoes from your yard. For example, using a barrier treatment reduces the need for using DEET-based bug repellent on the body. Mosquito Squad's barrier treatment eliminates up to 90% of the mosquitoes and ticks on a property. Applied by our professional applicator, the Barrier Protection Treatment continues to work for up to 21 days. Our team will remind you in advance of upcoming services and leave you a notice that we’ve visited. Our service is automatic, so you don’t need to be home during the application. The best part is that your children and pets only need to wait 30 minutes before returning to the yard!

  • Asian Beetle Control

    Though they won’t transfer disease to you, Asian beetles have a painful bite and leave an unpleasant odor with stains behind when they’re smooshed. Not to be confused with sweet Lady Bugs, Asian beetles will make their way indoors to bother you if they’re not caught outside.

  • Boxelder Bug Control

    Belonging to the same family as stink bugs, boxelders like to find their way indoors to keep warm. They release an unpleasant odor when crushed and leave stains on surfaces. Treating to remove boxelder bugs while they are outside of the home is the best way to keep them away.

  • Fly Control

    No one enjoys having flies buzz around, but they’re much more than a nuisance. Flies pass hundreds of pathogens onto humans from the different surfaces they land on. And when they hang around in mass, it’s likely because there’s an underlying source to find and take care of. We can help.

  • Gnat Control

    Does anyone want gnats around? Gnope. Threatening the comfort and health of humans and pets, female gnats feed on blood, leaving itchy, swollen bumps behind. Our pros have the most effective treatment methods for these irritating pests.

  • Special Event Sprays

    Forget about you and your guests being bitten during your next outdoor event, and don’t bother carrying around spray repellent that gets everywhere. We’ll arrive early to apply your treatment before any food arrives, ensuring the spray is dry and odor-free before the start of your event.

  • Spider Control

    Most spiders aren’t harmful, but that doesn’t mean we don’t get the creepy crawlies when they come around. If there are clusters of spiders outside, it’s only a matter of time before they come indoors. With the expertise to handle both venomous and non-dangerous breeds, we’ll eliminate your spider problem.

  • Stink Bug Control

    As their name implies, stink bugs leave an odor that will ruin any outdoor time you have in mind. Whether you need one-time treatment, seasonal, or consistent control, our EPA-registered formula will clear out these smelly pests.

  • Tick Control

    Ticks love all sorts of areas that are close to the ground – from leaf piles to wooded areas, shrubs, and birdfeeders – there are many places they’ll take refuge until they find someone to feed on. Avoid the many tick-borne diseases that people and pets are susceptible to with professional treatment.

  • Traditional Mosquito Barrier Treatment
