SPRING MOSQUITO TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL IN THE SEASON LONG FIGHT AGAINST CENTRAL MASS MOSQUITOES

Posted by Mosquito Squad

September 21, 2016

The mosquito population in Central Massachusetts can grow at an alarmingly fast rate. Each female may lay approximately 300 eggs at one time. On average it takes a week for a mosquito to grow from an egg to an adult. If half of those are female and each of those lay 300 eggs…you can see where I am going with this. After just a few generations of mosquitoes laying eggs (3 weeks’ time) you are looking at a mosquito population of over a million mosquitoes. This doesn’t require a large amount of standing water to create. A few drops per batch of eggs is sufficient to nurture life.

TREAT FOR MOSQUITOES IN CENTRAL MASS EARLY & OFTEN

You may be thinking you’ll wait until the heat of summer arrives; if the mosquitoes are bad, then you’ll call for professional mosquito control. While that will work and we are happy to eliminate mosquitoes from your Central Mass property at any time, there is a great benefit to starting early in the season.

According to Climate Central, mosquito season in our area has grown to roughly 119 days per year. Imagine if you simply wait 2-3 weeks after the season begins? You’re essentially letting up to over a million mosquitoes develop into adults before treatment. With Mosquito Squad of Central Massachusetts, our effectiveness is a game of percentages. We’d much rather you enjoy 90% elimination of a few hundred or thousand mosquitoes than 90% elimination of over a million mosquitoes.

MOSQUITOES MULTIPLY EXPONENTIALLY – MOSQUITO SQUAD ELIMINATES THEM EXPONENTIALLY

Season long mosquito control offers exponential results. We eliminate 90% of mosquitoes at your first treatment and 2-3 weeks later we eliminate 90% of mosquitoes again. While the mosquito population will grow some between sprays, you’ll enjoy exponentially fewer mosquitoes after each treatment. If you are signed up with Mosquito Squad of Central Mass before the first mosquitoes of the season emerge and continue all season long, you’ll maximize the effectiveness of our service for a pest-free summer.
