Fighting back against mosquitoes

With spring rains and warmer weather approaching, mosquitoes are getting ready to make the most of your backyard- how will you fight back?

When you imagine enjoying your backyard with your family, what do you picture- most likely barbecues, hanging out by the pool, or just having coffee in the morning on the back porch. Being swarmed by mosquitoes and other biting insects robs many people of these moments, forcing families to stay inside for fear of being covered in bites.

Many people are unaware of the available solutions to backyard mosquitoes, and we are here to tell you that you have options!

Yard Fogging Treatments

One popular option many people turn to is the “backpacking” treatments, where a pesticide is applied throughout your yard on a monthly basis, knocking down the mosquito population and providing a residual effect. The downside is that due to the strenghth of the products used, it is advised to keeo children and pets indoors for up to 2 hours after each application. Additionally, these products are broken down by water, so any rain or sprinkler systems are immediately working against this treatment.

Mosquito Misting System

By installing a mosquito misting system, we are able to get better control over the mosquito population by consistently misting 3 times daily when mosquitos are more active. The dilution of the products used in our systems means that we are putting out less chemicals with each mist cycle, so you are able to enjoy your back yard immediately after each misting. These systems are automatic, meaning you don’t need to worry about setting times or scheduling sprays, leaving you with more time to enjoy your outdoor spaces.
