The technician will walk your property and find where mosquitoes are resting before treating the areas. The treatment will take a short time to dry, then you can use the yard just like normal. Treatment is topped off again every three weeks.
If you have a really serious mosquito problem, you might be imagining something dramatic like a pest control truck fogging an entire property in a dense cloud. The reality is a much more understated affair. Treatment is targeted carefully and applied by a professional and takes a short time to dry. Then you can simply go outside and enjoy the peace of having far fewer mosquitoes around.
Technicians start by walking the property. They want to get a feel for the ecosystem of your yard. Mosquitoes rest during the day because they dry out in the sun, which means they spend most of the day in shaded, humid areas. Technicians find those areas like dense shrubs and under decks and treat accordingly. They also pay attention to where water tends to pool since mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water.
For a standard yard, the entire treatment process usually takes less than an hour. After a short drying window, it is perfectly fine for your family and pets to get back to using the yard. Most homeowners see a significant reduction in mosquitoes within a day, and the exact same treatment provides the added benefit of controlling ticks.
From there, the service happens on a regular rhythm. Treatment lasts for about three weeks at a stretch, so re-treatment is done every three weeks so you don’t experience a lapse in pest control.
