Planning a Small Outdoor Gathering? Here’s How to Keep it Mosquito Free

In the age of socially distant socializing, small outdoor weddings, parties, and get togethers may be on your agenda. If you’re hosting a small outdoor gathering and you want to ensure it’s mosquito free, here’s what you need to know:

Advance Planning is Your Friend. As soon as you commit to a date for your event, get in touch with your Malden lawn care service. The most robust mosquito control involves a multi-step process of breeding site removal with ground and foliage treatments.  If you’re going to be doing a lot of outdoor living this year – this includes things like hanging out on your porch, working in your garden, or playing with the kids in the backyard – this is the best approach to enjoying a mosquito-free summer.

Sorry – Water Features are Not Your Friend.  To get rid of mosquitoes, you have to eliminate standing water from your property. This includes water in beautiful locations, like bird baths and fountains. Children’s splash pools should be emptied after use. And while there’s not much that can be done about natural water features like lakes or streams, keep an eye out for puddles: they’re prime mosquito breeding territory that can often be eliminated by your Natick lawn care service.

Mosquito Control for One Time Events Exists. Yard Armor Special Events services includes one-time mosquito control treatments and sprays that keep your special day insect free. These treatments are pet and family friendly, which means they’re ideal before gatherings that include elderly family members, young children, and everyone in between.

Generally, one-time mosquito treatments are applied shortly before your event commences for maximum effectiveness. We work with our customers to time our services to best meet their needs, while taking local weather conditions into account for best results.
