Mosquito FAQ
How can you tell if mosquitoes are carrying a disease?
It is impossible to tell. You should use precautions such as store bought repellents.

How do the products we use reduce mosquito populations?
We will treat the landscaping around the perimeter of your home and yard with a residual material to help reduce the population of mosquitoes at their resting sites. If necessary, we can treat mosquito breeding sites on the property to help prevent mosquito larvae from developing into adults.

Will treatments completely eliminate the mosquitoes on my property?
While treatment is intended to help reduce the mosquito population on your property, our program will not totally eliminate mosquitoes. Our mosquito reduction program is intended to help reduce the breeding and resting sites of mosquitoes around your property thus reducing, but not eliminating the opportunity of being bitten by mosquitoes.

Will this treatment work for other pests too?
