Mosquito-Borne Disease

In addition to the itchy bumps they leave behind, mosquito bites carry a risk for the transmission of several diseases - even here in the United States. These illnesses, including West Nile virus, malaria, and Zika virus, can cause flu-like symptoms, fever, and chills and may even be fatal if left untreated. While some mosquito-borne diseases are far more common in tropical regions, others are becoming a threat in temperate areas due to climate change and travel.  Protecting yourself from mosquito bites is crucial to avoid these potentially debilitating illnesses.

DIY Mosquito Solutions

There are a few things you can do to help mitigate the presence of mosquitoes on your property:

• Clear your yard of the kinds of places mosquitoes love to breed, which includes any standing water. Even the smallest puddle is an ideal nursery for mosquitoes to raise their young!
• Remove yard debris quickly - don't let it sit.
• Wear long sleeves and long pants if you'll be outside for a long time.
• Get the air moving with fans! You can make this extra fun for kids by using small bubble machines that use fans to disperse the bubbles.

These are all great ways to minimize the mosquito population in your yard. But they're not foolproof, and even with precautions, you may end up covered in bites anyway. However, professional mosquito control can make a huge difference! At Mosquito Squad, we know that every yard is different, so we've developed several treatments to address a variety of needs.

Traditional Barrier Spray

Our most popular mosquito control option is our traditional barrier treatment. Using a formula developed over the years for peak performance, our technicians will target hiding spots and breeding grounds throughout your yard. This specialized blend reduces the population of mosquitoes in your yard by up to 85-90% of mosquitoes and continues to repel them for up to three weeks after application. Before treatment, we'll work with you to create a personalized plan for your property, considering factors like vegetation and shady areas. We can provide service on demand or, for your convenience, we also offer a recurring subscription plan with automatic treatments every 21 days throughout the season. 

Natural Spray

Many of our customers prefer a more natural alternative. That's what jumpstarted the development of a water-based spray containing a combination of essential oils and other natural ingredients. Like our traditional spray, it is effective for up to 21 days and can effectively shrink mosquito populations by up to 80-85% in that window of time. Our natural solution dries quickly, plus it smells heavenly due to natural oils that mosquitoes hate, like lemongrass or cedarwood. The natural spray formula is a great choice for those who prefer to live an organic lifestyle. Throughout peak mosquito season, we recommend re-treating your yard every three weeks, which can be provided through the same subscription plan we offer to traditional spray customers. 

Special Event Sprays

If you've ever planned an outdoor event, you know that trying to figure out how to keep your guests happy can take up a lot of your energy. Mosquito Squad is here to help with our special event spray program. A week or so ahead of the event in question, one of our technicians will visit and lay down the protective barrier treatment to help kickstart effective mosquito control. Another treatment is applied the day of the event before any food or serving tools arrive so that food isn't contaminated. With our help, your event will go off without a hitch!
