Yes. A one-time special event treatment is made for exactly this. Applied a day or two before your party, it knocks down the mosquitoes in your yard so guests can enjoy the outdoors, and it covers ticks in the treated areas too. It's a single service, with no ongoing commitment required.
If you're hosting a graduation party, a wedding, a barbecue, or a reunion, the last thing you want is mosquitoes chasing your guests indoors. A special event treatment is the fix when you need one day handled well.
When you book a one-time mosquito treatment, the technician will come out to treat your yard. They’ll target the places where mosquitoes shelter, like foliage and shaded areas. This happens one to three days before your event. That knocks down the mosquitoes present and leaves the treated area less mosquito-prone through the gathering. The residual keeps working for a while afterward, up to about three weeks.
If you do decide to go for a one-time special event spray, make sure you do it a couple of days ahead. If you were to book the morning of the event, the treatment likely won’t reach its full effectiveness. For one, treatments can take up to a couple of hours to dry when the weather isn’t cooperative. For another, it’s the act of landing on treated areas that knocks down mosquitoes. There’s no lingering mist that mosquitoes run into. Nothing knocks them out of the air.
Beyond treatment alone, there are a few other things you can do a few days before your event. Dump out any standing water you see. This will help prevent mosquitoes from breeding. And take note of any spots the technician should hit especially hard when it comes time to treat.
If you're tired of mosquitoes crashing your summer gatherings, Mosquito Squad of South Jersey can help. Mosquito Squad offers one-time special event treatments as well as recurring service. This can help you protect your yard with up to 90% reduction in mosquito activity on a 21-day cycle when you go that route.
