Yes, one-time special event treatments are made for exactly this situation. Applied a day or two before your party, it knocks the mosquitoes down so your guests can enjoy the yard, and it covers ticks in the treated areas too.
If you have a wedding or cookout coming up, the last thing you want is a bunch of mosquitoes giving you trouble. Special events deserve to be special. And that’s why special event treatment can help with pest control problems even if you don’t need recurring service.
It’s a simple process. A technician comes over to treat your yard and focuses on the foliage and other shaded resting areas where mosquitoes spend time during the day. This happens one to three days before your event. This knocks down the mosquitoes that land on the foliage for the next roughly three weeks. The effect is strong enough to notice within 24 hours.
Scheduling a couple of days ahead of the event is the best way to make sure the treatment has time to work. Not only will the treatment dry before guests arrive, but mosquitoes will have had more chances to land on the treated surfaces. This same treatment also reduces the presence of ticks in the grass too, which matters if you have guests and pets on the grass.
No treatment is 100% effective, but this can help reduce mosquitoes by up to 90%. There is no lingering mist in the air to knock down mosquitoes since the treatment works by taking away the places where mosquitoes rest during the day. Mosquitoes can still fly in from adjacent properties. But even with that limitation in mind, treatment can help make your event much more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for other things you can do to further curtail mosquitoes, the number one thing is to dump standing water around the yard. Do this a few days before the event and mosquitoes won’t have as many places to breed. During the treatment, you can also point out to your technician any areas where mosquitoes tend to be especially bad.
