The mosquito population seems to be at an all-time high. You can't go a day without reading about them in the paper or having one buzz annoyingly close to your ear. Citizens want to spend their spare time enjoying the outdoors. Still, they are hesitant to do so because they do not want to put their families at risk of having vector-borne diseases.
As a result, we frequently receive inquiries like "Does your mosquito control work?" Not only is having a professional treat your yard for mosquitoes more efficient than treating your yard yourself, but it's also the safer option. The use of mosquito spray or a citronella candle may serve as a temporary fix. Still, durable mosquito control is the most effective and least burdensome long-term solution.
In this post, we will provide answers to a few of the most frequently asked questions regarding mosquito control that we get from residents.
Should I Spray For Mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes Can Kill! They can be deadly, so they are more than just a bother. You could get into trouble if a female carrying a disease tries to take your blood. Because mosquitoes are carriers of many diseases, the conditions they spread are among the most dangerous in the world. There have been reports of diseases such as dengue fever, the zika virus, and many other illnesses that could affect you and your pets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — when it's done as a recurring barrier treatment rather than a one-time spray. Professionals treat the shaded resting sites where mosquitoes wait out the day (dense shrubs, tree lines, under decks) and address standing water where they breed. That targets the population, while citronella candles and repellent sprays only protect the person using them.
The products we use are EPA-approved and applied by licensed, certified technicians at label rates to targeted areas rather than broadcast across the yard. We ask that people and pets stay off treated areas until they dry, typically about 30 minutes. Let us know about pollinator gardens, ponds, or health sensitivities and we'll adjust placement.
Most residential applications take roughly 30 minutes, and we schedule around you — weekdays, evenings, or weekends. You'll notice a drop in activity quickly, with the strongest results after repeat visits, since follow-up treatments catch mosquitoes that were still eggs or larvae during the first application.
It does. The same treatment zones and products commonly reduce fleas, ticks, and fire ants in the treated areas, since those pests share the shaded, humid harborage mosquitoes use. Many customers pair mosquito service with a general plan for full-property coverage.
In the South, every three to four weeks through the season is typical, because product residual breaks down and new mosquitoes emerge continuously in warm, humid weather. Skipping intervals lets the population rebuild, which is why recurring service outperforms occasional one-off sprays.
