Mosquito Control -
You have been planning an outdoor event for some time now and the big day is finally here and now you got the problem of uninvited pests. You guessed it, those annoying mosquitoes. Guests are starting to get bit up and the party is ruined. Tired of wasting money on all those retail mosquito control solutions such as citronella candles that never seem to work and spray repellents that leave you almost as miserable as getting bit up?
Our solution to the above scenario – we provide a combination of barrier spray and fogging applications for your lawn and landscape bushes with a commercial grade pesticide that will allow you and your invited guests to enjoy the outdoors free from mosquitoes.
Our Mosquito Control Program consist of 4 applications to keep your yard mosquito free all summer long. Each application will provide a treatment of all areas that mosquitoes would seek shelter from the heat of the day. While no one can control mosquitoes that may fly into your property, these treatments will control any and all adult mosquitoes seeking refuge on your property.
Note: The mosquito is the most dangerous creature on earth as the diseases they spread have been responsible for killing more people than all the wars in history. Even today, mosquitoes transmitting malaria kill 2 million to 3 million people around the world and infect another 200 million every year.
