Outdoor Living Made Better
It is possible to eat, drink, or play outdoors without stinging-biting bugs with modern products and equipment. Mosquito defense takes 10 -15 minutes for an average lawn, is safe for humans, pets, and the environment, and can effectively reduce stinging-biting insect populations to near zero for weeks.
How it works
Mosquitos spend their days resting on or under foliage. Mosquito defense uses power equipment to “fog” these areas with a mixture of quick-acting (knockdown) and long-lasting residual products. The quick-acting product eliminates the current population and the residual product lasts for 3 to 4 weeks.
Planning Mosquito Control
The peak season for stinging-biting bugs is mid-February to late September. Schedule your mosquito treatments on a regular schedule during those months – usually every 3 – 4 weeks. The effectiveness increases with each application – each application builds on the previous application. Skipping or longer intervals between treatments is not advisable.
For outdoor events such as parties, weddings, etc. having 2 to 3 treatments before the event is more effective than one treatment a few days before the event. For example, a wedding scheduled in June should begin treatments in April.
Prevention
Mosquitos need water to lay eggs - eliminating standing water wherever possible will help reduce the mosquito population. Look for the “mosquito farms “around your home – places where water has collected. This can be anything from a bottle cap to an unattended swimming pool. Prevention can be as simple as flipping a bucket or container upside down.
Join the Effort
Consider mosquito defense for your home. The higher the participation in controlling and preventing biting-stinging bugs, the less biting-stinging bugs flying around. Not only will there be fewer bites and stings but fewer diseases such as West Nile, and Zika in humans and fewer pets with heartworms.
