Be Summer Party-Ready with Grafton Mosquito Control

Posted by Mosquito Squad

December 19, 2023

Late springtime brings Grafton Mass residents outdoors for relaxation and celebration. No matter the size of your guest list, ensure that mosquitoes remain uninvited.

It’s time for fun and games outside our homes. Don’t become the target of a full-on mosquito assault in your backyard and around your pool area this year. While your backyard pool can be a source of entertainment all summer long, it can also be a breeding ground for Central Mass mosquitoes. Many Grafton area residents suffer from mosquito bites in the privacy of their back yards. Mosquitoes are especially bad in late afternoon when we like to grab a spatula and grill out around the pool. Folks have tried many different solutions to keep them at bay. Most notably, citronella candles, mosquito magnets, and DEET. But sometimes, nothing short of wearing long clothing can prevent the mosquitoes from biting. Who wants to be in long clothing while out by the pool?

Not only do mosquitoes love to chomp on you right when you get out of the pool. They take up residence around your pool. Pools are a perfect place for mosquitoes to congregate, because they love to breed in small puddles of water. Once the eggs are laid in these mini mosquito pools, they can hatch within 48 hours! Not only are you more likely to be bitten by a mosquito in your pool area, you’re more likely to get a mosquito-borne illness, like West Nile Virus or EEE, which are prevalent in the Central Massachusetts area. Professional mosquito control measures are the best method of helping eliminate mosquitoes that are not just pesky but potentially dangerous to your family.

Grafton mosquito control with barrier protection treatment is the best choice for your backyard party space.

With Mosquito Squad of Franklin-Framingham’s Grafton mosquito barrier protection, you need not worry about sharing your yard with vast armies of mosquitoes. We will provide mosquito barrier protection for your yard that treats your entire property. This treatment begins eliminating mosquitoes on contact and has a timed-release formula to keep on working for about 21 days. With Mosquito Squad in control of your mosquito protection this spring, summer, and fall, all you have to worry about is all the ways you intend to enjoy the areas outside your home.

In addition to our professional Grafton mosquito control barrier protection, here are a couple of methods that will allow you to further fortify your yard – especially after rain and after splashing around in the pool.

  • Regularly inspect your property for any standing water or any items that have the capacity to collect water.
  • Tip and toss any standing water from these items.

Safe mosquito practices such as these, combined with having your property treated by our trained mosquito control professionals will greatly reduce the mosquitoes in your yard. In turn, these practices can help reduce the risk of mosquito-borne disease transmission.
