Once the weather starts getting warmer, the mosquitoes seem to appear out of nowhere. This year, we\u2019ve already fielded quite a few calls about mosquito removal – both getting mosquitoes out of a residential yard and preventing mosquitoes from ruining important outdoor events.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what you need to know about keeping mosquitoes out of your yard. Be ready for an ongoing process. Mosquitoes breed anywhere they can find even the smallest amount of standing water. Even a few teaspoons in a houseplant saucer can be enough to host hundreds of baby mosquitoes.<\/p>\n
When your local lawn service performs mosquito removal, the first thing they will do is identify and eliminate the standing water on the property. This gets rid of the mosquito eggs and developing baby mosquitoes. The next step is using pet and family safe products to eliminate adult mosquitoes where they nest and sleep – generally in the leaf litter and beneath foundation plantings.<\/p>\n
This process will need to be repeated periodically throughout the summer. Mosquito removal services are needed more often when there are frequent rains, and less so in dryer summers.<\/p>\n
Preventing Mosquitoes at Special Events<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re planning an outdoor wedding, graduation party, or other special event, you don\u2019t want your guests experiencing painful mosquito bites. Mosquitoes carry so many dangerous diseases, including malaria, West Nile, and Zika. Obviously you want to protect any immune compromised family members and friends from being exposed to these risks.<\/p>\n
Keep your special event mosquito free by having your local lawn service perform preventative spraying the day before the event. The products used to do this are both family and pet safe, keeping the mosquitoes away without inconveniencing anyone else at all. The service is called special event spraying.<\/p>\n
For best results, you\u2019ll want to have the special event spraying done the day before or the morning of your event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
