How fast will my treatment work?
You will experience immediate results with our mosquito control service and can expect up to a 85-95% reduction in the mosquito population after your second treatment.
Is your treament safe for kids and pets?
Yes. As the owner, but more importantly as a father of 2 young children, I realize the importance of using safe products in my yard as well as yours. Our mosquito control treatment is a 99.97% blend of natural hydrogen oxide along with .03% of an synthetic form of the natural plant based insecticide "pyrethrins". This same basic ingredient can be found in a variety of household products and is approved by the EPA for use indoors and for food preparation areas. It is also the same active ingredient used in flea and tick products for pets.
How long do I need to wait before using the yard after a treatment?
Our treatment dries within minutes and there is minimal wait time after we have finished treating your property. 15-30 minutes is the usual dry time.
What areas of the property are treated?
For most properties 1/2 to 2/3 acre in size. We will ensure that all common used areas of the property such as decks, patios, pools and play areas are treated and protected. Each mosquito control application takes between 15 and 20 minutes to apply. Property coverage over 2/3 acre is available for an additional charge and is based on property size.
Does Mosquito Guard's Barrier Spray treatment get rid of any other types of pests?
Yes! Our barrier spray treatment is effective for mosquitoes, fleas and ticks
What if it rains after my treatment as been applied?
If it rains after your barrier treatment is applied, fear not — all of our barrier treatment products will dry and become waterproof within 30 minutes of being appied and sometimes even faster.
What does Mosquito Guard apply to create a mosquito barrier within my yard?
Mosquito Guard uses synthetic forms of pyrethrins called pyrethroids, pyrethrum. Pyrethroids are derived from a naturally occurring compound found in the chrysanthemum flower. They are also used in numerous commercial products. Mosquito Guard ensures that all products are evaluated and registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
