Mosquitoes are more than just an annoying nuisance to put up with during the summertime. They’re actually the deadliest animal in the world, and transmit a whole slew of dangerous diseases. West Nile virus is probably the most well-known and yes, it’s here in Massachusetts. But we need to worry about even scarier mosquito-borne illnesses like Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), which is rare, but often fatal. According to Acton Wicked Local, Middlesex county had the most cases of EEE and West Nile between 2012 and 2016, more than any other county here (or in the country, for that matter).
Sure, you might think that because we’ve got the Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control Project (CMMCP), you’re safe. But the truth is, a municipal program like that is only focused on Acton mosquito control in pubic areas like parks, roadways, and open bodies of water like marshes and not your backyard. The trucks that do fogging in the streets at night only have a limited reach, and rarely does their version of Acton mosquito control even reach your front door.
Basically, relying on a public program like the CMMCP is not a chance anybody wants to take to protect themselves and their loved ones from dangerous mosquito-borne illnesses. Mosquito Squad’s top priority is keeping you, your family, and anyone who comes to visit safe from these little monsters on your own property, so you can enjoy backyard barbecues and other outside time in the summer without being chased inside.
The chemicals that the CMMCP uses kill adult mosquitoes on contact. While that might seem like a good thing, consider this: If you have just ONE female mosquito in an area that the fog didn’t reach (like your backyard), it will lay bout 300 eggs in one batch. In four weeks’ time, this will multiply to over 1.3 billion mosquitoes.
Mosquito Squad’s barrier treatment is your best bet for long-lasting mosquito control on your own property. Like the municipal trucks, it also eliminates adult ones on contact, but that’s where the similarities end. Our specially formulated, time-released solution is designed to keep working for three weeks after application.
Our highly-trained technicians start from the perimeter of your yard and work their way inward applying our barrier treatment, which sticks to the foliage. (We avoid your flowers and other blooming plants, though, so don’t worry.) This both eliminates mosquitoes on contact and continues to protect your yard for three weeks at a time. It takes about 30 minutes to dry, after which you can get back to enjoying your yard. Our barrier treatment will eliminate the mosquito population on your property by up to 90% during those three weeks. In that amount of time, think about how often the CMMCP trucks will have driven by your house since their formula isn’t time released.
To make sure you’re protected all season long, Mosquito Squad offers seasonal packages, which mean more quality time spent outside with your loved ones and/or entertaining friends.
If you’re having an outdoor wedding, bar mitzvah, or other special event and want to make sure it’s not invaded by dangerous “unwanted guests,” we offer special event services where we’ll come to the site twice prior to the event to distribute our micro encapsulated barrier treatment, and you and your guests will have a much more enjoyable party without buzzing, swatting, and itching. It only takes about 30 minutes to dry, which means it’s easy to schedule around caterers, tent set-up, and other event preparation. We’ll be there and gone before you know it.
All of Mosquito Squad’s products are EPA registered, but we know there are some people who prefer to go the naturalroute and as “green” as possible. Not a problem. We also offer an naturalbarrier treatment, designed and developed with natural oils. It’s more of a repellant than eliminator, essentially “chasing” the bugs out of your yard. Most customers notice a significant reduction of yard pests anywhere between 80-85%. Also a time-released solution, we recommend reapplication of our naturalformula every three weeks.
We firmly stand behind and believe in all of our products and services, but if you’re not happy, we’re not happy. Call our team within 21 days of your treatment and we’ll come back and re-mist your yard at no cost to you.
