The Most Common Questions About Killing Mosquitoes in Yards in Minneapolis & Eau Claire

3 MINUTE READ

It’s kind of amazing how something so small can be so annoying — and even deadly.

But the tiny mosquito can ruin your backyard barbecue, spoil your kids’ swing set fun, and even spread viruses that can send you to the hospital.

We’re big. They’re tiny. Yet this whiny summertime pest sends us running inside for cover when we just want to be outside, enjoying the beautiful summer evenings. 

Let’s talk about killing mosquitoes in yards, and answer the most common questions about them.

Killing Mosquitoes: How Does it Work?

Mosquitos love shady, damp places in your yard. They need water to breed and survive.

Sunlight kills them, so they stay undercover until sunset.

  • Underneath plant leaves
  • Shady areas
  • Wet areas
  • Under decks
  • Under tree canopies
  • Wood piles

Then, bam, immediate results. Grab your lounge chair, a good book, and a frosty lemonade. No swatting required.

RainMaster’s barrier spray reduces mosquitoes on your property all season long, with regular visits every three weeks.

Bonus: the barrier spray kills ticks, too. Kill two pests for one price.

Mosquito Spraying Companies: Is It Safe?

Not for the mosquitoes. But feel free to send your kids and pets back outside once the spray has dried.

Do I Really Need to Kill Mosquitoes Every 3 Weeks?

Just like the insect repellent you spray on yourself only lasts so long, it’s the same with the mosquito killing spray.

Also, mosquitoes are continually reproducing, so there’s always a fresh batch that needs to be controlled.

Your six visits from spring through fall will reduce mosquitoes throughout the outdoor seasons — that’s a whole summer in your backyard haven or at your lakeside cabin, with drastically fewer mosquitoes to ruin your fun.

How Well Does Mosquito Yard Spray Work?

Beware of any mosquito spraying company in Eau Claire or Minneapolis that promises to completely rid your yard of mosquitoes.

This isn’t 100 percent control.

The only way to be mosquito free is to stay inside. (And even that isn’t foolproof, right? Raise your hand if you’ve ever swatted the air above your bed at 2 am trying to catch that one whiny, maddening mosquito.)

We call our mosquito spray service “mosquito reduction.” You absolutely will see a big reduction in mosquitoes and ticks.
