With our top-quality supplies, effective strategies, and powerful mosquito spraying treatments, Lawn Doctor of Ramsey-Mahwah-Totowa can provide superior protection from these annoying pests. Our service includes fast-drying treatments along with detailed property inspections. Our goal is to eliminate adult mosquitoes, remove their nesting habitats and secure a more calm and relaxing outdoor space for your property.

While our treatments are an incredibly effective way to reduce mosquito populations around your home, you’ll also need protection while you are away. When going for hikes or venturing into another area that is not treated for mosquitoes, you’ll need to rely on other forms of protection. With so many good and bad products out there, we would like to provide some expert guidance and help you navigate all of these choices.

Anti-Mosquito Products: The Good and the Bad

Here are a few products that you should altogether avoid:

  • Mosquito-Repelling Smartphone Apps. While many apps claim to provide this function, no such technology currently exists.
  • Citronella Candles. Recent studies show ‘anti-mosquito’ candles offer no more protection than any other candle, so there is no reason to spend your money on them.
  • Protective Wristbands. By emitting mosquito repellent from a band around your wrist, the best case scenario with these products is that they can repel mosquitoes away from your wrist.

Here are some products you can depend on for protection:

  • Chemical Skin Repellents. Any repellent containing DEET or picaridin as the active ingredient will serve to deter these pests from your skin.
  • Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. This is the only CDC-recommended botanical alternative to chemical repellents.
  • Mosquito Traps. A wisely-placed trap in your backyard can help reduce your mosquito population.

Trusted Mosquito Spraying in the Mahwah Area

The best advice we can give for home protection is to reduce standing water around your yard. Mosquitoes need a body of water to lay their eggs and nurture their offspring, so by limiting these areas, you can strike a huge blow to their plans. We offer thorough property inspections before every spray treatment to find problem areas and help keep your yard clear of mosquito breeding sites.

With fast-drying spray treatments that kill mosquitoes and professional property searches to destroy their young, we can help create a calm and peaceful backyard for your home. Lawn Doctor of Ramsey-Mahwah-Totowa is proud to offer our expert services throughout:
