You’ll start to see a difference within the first 24 hours. The product starts knocking down mosquitoes on contact as soon as it is dry. As time passes, more mosquitoes land on treated surfaces which helps control the population as a whole.
You’ve scheduled your first treatment and you want to know when you’ll be able to first feel the difference. The good news is that it usually happens fast.
Once the technician finishes applying the barrier treatment, the product takes about 30 minutes to dry. The actual drying time varies—faster when it’s hot, slower when it’s humid. But the rule to follow is this: once it’s dry, it’s bonded to vegetation and the other surfaces where it was applied. Then it starts working.
When mosquitoes land on treated leaves or surfaces, they are knocked down on contact. You don’t need to wait days or weeks for results.
The first evening is when most people notice a change. The yard that had you headed inside by 7 in the evening is suddenly usable. Things continue to improve from there as more mosquitoes land on treated surfaces, including ones that flew in from neighboring properties. By the end of week one, suppression is at its peak, with about 90% fewer mosquitoes than an untreated yard.
Individual treatments break down with time in the sun and the rain. This takes about three weeks, which is why re-treatment is done every 21 days. It’s the consistency that keeps mosquitoes from repopulating after a single treatment cuts their numbers.

Mosquito Squad provides barrier treatments that can reduce the population of mosquitoes by up to 90% at a time.
