At the onset of our mosquito control service, we conduct a meticulous inspection around your home’s perimeter. Using our findings and your property’s layout, we develop a customized mosquito treatment plan.
Our treatment plan involves applying a liquid treatment to shrubs and greenery (with careful avoidance of pollinating flowers to preserve active pollinators like bees). This treatment not only eliminates mosquitoes on contact but also creates a protective zone that remains effective for weeks.
We return regularly during mosquito season to inspect and treat your property. Should mosquitoes return between treatments, we offer a free retreatment service at no additional cost to you.
