Mosquitoes vary in their habits relative to the species we are dealing with. Ohio is home to approximately 11 species of mosquito which are considered to be pests to humans and livestock. There is over 100 species in the Midwest, and about 3500 worldwide. Remember, the definition of a species is that it does not have the ability to breed with another species even if it is in the same genus. Species can determine everything from how many eggs it lays (singly or by the hundreds) to their favorite time of day, whether it is overcast daytime or dawn/dusk. We treat your property not only to kill the adult mosquitoes presently there, but barrier the vegetation around your home such that as they fly in and make contact with our product they will die. Their death can take anywhere from five minute to five hours, depending on their exposure to the product–but they are frail insects, and it doesn’t take much. We also use a larvacide product–typically sold to governments as opposed to private companies–which contains two (2) Active Ingredients, both of which are certified organic. This is good for preventing mosquitoes from hatching out of water that pools in stagnant areas. All mosquitoes are aquatic, and their larvae are filter-feeders. Please let us know if you have any questions with regard to our treatment process.

We can put you on a “set it and forget it” plan where we take care of your yard for the year. That means we begin spraying in the spring when it gets warm enough for mosquitoes to emerge, right into the fall where we will treat for other pests if you have pets. We typically spray approximately every 21 days to cover the mosquitoes life cycle. You don’t even need to be home when we spray.
