The most common questions about killing mosquitos are usually asked in all capital letters:
HOW DO I GET RID OF THESE MOSQUITOES?!
The tiny mosquito is a big problem— deserving of all caps. They can ruin your backyard barbecue, spoil your kids’ swing set fun, and even spread viruses that can send you to the hospital.
Where to turn for mosquito control? Do mosquito control programs work?Take a break from swatting and let’s take a look:
What Kind of Mosquito Control Works Best?
Professional barrier spray is the surest way to reduce mosquitoes in your yard.
This mosquito control spray is applied to the perimeter of your yard, hitting the spots where mosquitoes lurk and breed.
Then, bam, they’re dead. Immediate results. You can take back your yard again, knowing you’re protecting your family and pets from annoying, disease-carrying mosquitoes.
No more swatting and swearing.
How Often Do You Need to Reapply Professional Mosquito Control?
Just like the insect repellent you spray on yourself only lasts so long, it’s the same with mosquito control spray.
As if mosquitos aren’t annoying enough, the whiny pests are continually reproducing, so there’s always a fresh batch that needs to be zapped.
RainMaster’s barrier spray reduces mosquitoes on your property all season long, with regular visits every three weeks.
Your six visits from spring through fall will reduce mosquitoes throughout the outdoor seasons — that’s a whole summer on your deck or at your cabin with drastically fewer mosquitoes to ruin your fun.
What Are the Most Common Mosquito Breeding Areas?
Mosquitos love shady, damp places in your yard. They need water to breed and survive. Sunlight kills them, so they stay mostly undercover until dusk.
Here’s where they lurk:
- Underneath plant leaves
- Shady areas
- Wet areas
- Under decks
- Under tree canopies
- Wood piles
So these are all the areas RainMaster targets with professional mosquito control, spraying the bitey villains where they live and breed.
Is Spraying for Mosquitoes Safe?
Not for the mosquitoes. But feel free to send your kids and pets back outside once the spray has dried.
Mosquito yard treatments won’t damage your garden plants, either. Here are some common questions about mosquitoes, all of which can be addressed with the right control program.
Do All Mosquitoes Bite?
Nope, just the females. They need the protein in human or animal blood to produce their eggs.
Do Mosquitoes Die After They Bite You?
Sadly, no. You're thinking about honey bees. Mosquitoes can keep on biting until they’re full. All the more reason to close down the snack bar with professional mosquito control.
Does Standing Water Really Attract Mosquitoes?
You bet. Mosquitoes like to lay their eggs in still or stagnant water or damp soil, and they hardly need any water at all to do this. In fact, in some cases they only need a tablespoon of water.
You can deter them from breeding in your yard by getting rid of spots that collect standing water, from kids toys to buckets to wading pools.
How Much Does Professional Mosquito Control Cost?
At RainMaster, our professional mosquito control starts at $539 for a season, based on the size of your yard, with regular applications every three weeks.
The average customer spends about $600.
