What Is the Treatment?
Targeted Control
We use EPA-registered insecticides in our treatment processes. These include using a water-based insecticide that kills off more than 75 pests – this puts an end to mosquitoes harboring on your property. In addition we also use a growth regulator, which has two active ingredients which stops the juvenile pests from growing into adults. By disrupting the life cycle of the insects by keeping the juveniles from growing into adults, this gives a long term solution to pest control problems. Areas of sitting water or ponds require a larvacide to put a halt to the breeding process.
We kill the existing population of mosquitoes and also interrupt the breeding process.
We use backpack blowers for adequate distribution of material into shrubs, bushes, lawn areas, below decks and high into tree canopies. Blowers allow for effective distribution of chemical to the underside of foliage. Larvacides (if needed) are applied in dry granular form or floating pucks depending upon the location and situation.
We treat foundation of buildings, fences, decks and underneath. Shrubs, trees, tall grass and low hanging vegetation. Also other areas where they rest, breed or feed.
