Kills and Repels for 3 weeks

Our mosquito control applications both kill and repel mosquitoes for 3 weeks per treatment, allowing your family to enjoy your yard without worry. We’ll go over your property and put together a plan for effective treatment based on your yard’s specific layout. We’ll perform a full barrier treatment as well as addressing areas where your family or pets tend to go. We identify specific problem areas where mosquitoes will tend to be.

Many of these problem areas are the same for ticks as well. We’ll take note of any standing water, brush, leaf or wood piles, grass clippings, thick vegetation, clogged gutters, debris, etc. We’ll take extra care around these areas and may give you advice on addressing areas of concern.

Safe & Effective

Natural products are still highly effective when properly applied. Helping you to enjoy your yard with your family is our #1 priority in this business, and natural products align with that goal much more so than chemicals. Safe to spray around people, plants and pets with an immediate re-entry time. Our product kills at all stages of the lifecycle. Future egg cycles are also interrupted, eradicating future outbreaks over time.

Eco-Friendly

Our products won’t harm the environment. Chemical pesticides have the potential to cause damage to off-target organisms and contaminate ground water. Our natural spray treatments are much safer than chemical products.

Pleasant Fragrance

The active ingredients in our products are essential oils. Your yard will have a pleasing aroma for a few hours after your treatment, but the effects on controlling mosquitoes will last for 3 weeks.

Comprehensive mosquito control applications

One of the most common complaints that we hear about other companies is that their technicians show up and are back in their truck in less than 5 minutes! It’s important to be comprehensive in the areas that are being treated. Extra effort is made to properly treat underneath leaves, around brush, shady, under decks, etc.

Is natural mosquito control safe for pollinators?

Yes. The main ingredient in our natural spray applications (cedarwood oil) affects mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests mainly by interfering with their pheromone systems (octopamine). This causes problems with their breathing, reproduction, movement and many other bodily functions.safe for pollinators

Bees and butterflies don’t use octopamine neurotransmitters in the same way, so they are not affected.

As an added precaution, we don’t directly spray flowers. Shrubs and landscaping are sprayed but flowering shrubs and flowers are not, just to protect pollinators from being blasted by the high powered mist blower.

Permethrin, which is the most commonly used pesticide for controlling mosquitoes is highly toxic to bees and butterflies. Chemical pesticides not only kill on contact, but also leave a residual that can kill pollinators when they land on a surface that was treated. 

Routine treatments

Our natural mosquito control treatments are done every 3 weeks, depending on weather. This works out to be 8-10 applications per season. No appointments are necessary, we just need access to your yard. You’ll be billed automatically after each application, so no need to leave cash or mail checks. There is no commitment and you can cancel any time.

Special events

We provide one-time spray applications for special events such as weddings and parties. Contact us for a free quote.

Facts about mosquitoes

Standing water

Standing water in yard attracts mosquitoes

Mosquitoes lay their eggs in any standing water. This doesn’t need to be a pond or natural bodies of water, but even sources like tires, bird baths, children’s toys left outside, tree stumps, etc.

Tall grass

Just like ticks, mosquitoes enjoy the shade and moisture of tall, un-mowed grass. 

Gutters

Out of reach for many predators and often overlooked, clogged gutters provide a great damp environment for mosquitoes. 

Trees & shrubs

Mosquitoes prefer areas that provide shade and humidity. Trees, shrubs and thick vegetation all provide a favorable environment for mosquitoes and ticks.

Under decks

The shady, damp area beneath your deck can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes and fleas. 

Yard debris

Grass clippings, leaf piles, brush piles, garden debris all provide shelter for mosquitoes and ticks. Getting this debris out of your yard will help make your home less inviting for mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes have short lifecycles, living about 2-3 weeks, and reproduce rapidly in any sources of standing water.
