Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do anything to help reduce mosquitoes between treatments?
Yes—removing standing water (like birdbaths, clogged gutters, or unused containers), trimming overgrown shrubs, and keeping your lawn well-maintained all help reduce mosquito breeding areas.
Do I need to be home during treatment?
No, our technicians can treat your property while you're away. We'll coordinate timing that works for your schedule.
How long before I can use my yard after treatment?
Re-entry times vary by product type and your specific landscape. We'll provide specific guidance based on the treatment used - typically it's safe once surfaces are dry, but we'll give you exact timing.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Many customers notice a significant drop in mosquito activity within 24–48 hours after the first treatment. Consistent service helps maintain control all season long.
What about my vegetable garden?
We take special care around edible plants and can adjust our treatment plan or use food-safe products to protect your garden areas.
What attracts mosquitoes to my yard?
Mosquitoes are drawn to certain conditions around your yard that provide both breeding grounds and sources of attraction. Here’s what brings them in:
- Standing Water: Mosquitoes need standing water to lay their eggs. This could be in anything that holds water, like birdbaths, clogged gutters, flower pots, tire swings, or even puddles. It’s important to check for and eliminate standing water regularly.
- Overgrown Vegetation: Thick shrubs, tall grass, and dense foliage provide shelter for mosquitoes, giving them a cool, humid environment to rest in during the day. Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk but will seek out hiding spots during hotter parts of the day.
- Shaded Areas: Mosquitoes love shade, especially during hot weather. Areas of your yard that don’t get much sunlight—like under trees, around tall bushes, or near structures—are prime spots for mosquitoes to hide out during the day.
- Organic Matter and Decaying Plants: Mosquitoes are attracted to decaying plant material where they can find moisture and nutrients. If you have compost piles or dense plant debris in your yard, this can draw mosquitoes.
- Excessive Moisture: If your yard is constantly damp due to poor drainage or overwatering, this can create the perfect environment for mosquitoes to thrive. Puddles or even wet soil from frequent irrigation can become breeding grounds.
- Certain Plants: While some plants (like citronella) are known to repel mosquitoes, others—like marigolds, jasmine, and lavender—can attract them due to their fragrance. Consider where you plant these in your yard.
What if it rains after treatment?
Light rain won't affect the treatment once it's dried. However, heavy rain may require rescheduling to ensure effectiveness.
Will mosquito treatment get rid of all mosquitoes?
No treatment can eliminate 100% of mosquitoes, but our program dramatically reduces their population and activity around your home, making your outdoor spaces much more enjoyable.
Will this work for my pool area?
Pool areas are common mosquito breeding spots. Yes, professional treatments are much more effective in these areas than DIY solutions, which typically only last 1-2 days.
Will you kill beneficial insects too?
This is a valid concern. While some treatments can impact beneficial insects, we offer eco-friendly options that minimize harm to pollinators and other beneficial species.
