5 Reasons Why Your Backyard Needs Custom Mosquito Control

Posted by Mosquito Squad

December 20, 2023

Besides its stunning beaches, Michelin Star restaurants, and Hollywood glamor, Los Angeles is also known for something that’s not-so-glamorous: mosquitoes! Already notorious for having a major infestation problem, the county is bracing for its worst mosquito season in years.

But is there a way to stop these pesky pests from getting in the way of outdoor fun this year (and for good?)? In this blog, let’s understand why a customizable spatial mosquito control system could be the protection your backyard needs

What is Smart Spatial Mosquito Control?

Mosquito control for outdoor spaces ranges from repellant creams to professional fogging to old-school DIY swatting. But covering yourself in pungent gels or holding onto that swatter every single time may not be everyone’s idea of a fun barbeque night.

A long-term solution to buzzing off those blood-feasting insects should be safe, customizable, and user-friendly. A spatial mosquito control solution typically involves a repeller system with multiple diffusers, connected to a smart hub that can be operated via an app for on-demand protection.

Each diffuser creates a vapor barrier for a specific area instead of protecting just one person, as repellent creams do. Moreover, a personalized mosquito control solution allows you to choose the number of diffuser units depending on the size of the outdoor spaces you want to cover.

5 Benefits of Customizable Spatial Mosquito Control

The biggest and most obvious benefit of any mosquito repellant system is protecting people from mosquito-borne illnesses like Encephalitis, Zika virus, or West Nile virus.

But not all control systems are made equal. An expandable, spatial-repellent system outshines others when it comes to outdoor mosquito protection. Here are some of the top benefits you should know about:

  1. Long-Lasting Solution

A spatial repeller system is a long-term solution to mosquitoes’ woes. It works by releasing mild vapors to saturate a space, and you only need to turn it on for a few minutes before stepping outdoors.

Not only does this unit kill and repel the mosquitoes, but it also reduces their population by disrupting the breeding cycle.

  1. Scalable

Imagine living in a sprawling home in Malibu, Canyon Country, or San Fernando, but having mosquitoes crash the party every time you light up the grill or unwind near the pool with a drink. The beauty of a multiple-repeller system is its endless customizability.

Pro tip: When purchasing it for the first time, go for a starter kit with the number of diffusers that suit the size of your outdoor space. You can always add more diffusers and hubs to cover more zones later.

  1. Planet-Friendly

The best spatial repellent systems use formulas biodegradable and non-toxic for all kids, pets, and humans – pretty much all earthlings, minus the mosquitoes. The repellents are scent-free and smoke-free and offer targeted protection that doesn’t harm the people or the surroundings.

  1. On-Demand Protection

An on-demand mosquito control system puts you in the driver’s seat, letting you target specific areas of your home. These convenient systems are powered by smart hubs that can be remotely operated via an app.

You can set timers to turn the system on early in the morning and again at dusk when the mosquito activity is at its peak. No more wasting precious time chasing down mosquitoes with a repellent spray or crowding your yard with citronella candles.

  1. Easy to Set Up and Service

A spatial mosquito control system is typically plug-and-play and requires a one-time installation that can be wrapped up in less than a day by the Mosquito Squad team. Plus, their repellers use a refill cartridge that can go on for several hours and be monitored by the app to know when it’s time to replace them. To make sure you have all-season protection, make sure you choose a repellant system that is durable and has waterproof components.

A spatial mosquito control system like the Thermacell LIV is also WiFi-enabled to provide you control in the palm of your hand. This allows it to share an automatic notification when cartridges need to be replaced, so your home is always ready for that impromptu dinner party or sundowner cocktails.

Experience the Best Outdoor Living

Let’s face it: Mosquitoes have the knack of making you feel unwelcome in your own home. Whether you live in Los Angeles, Long Beach, or Torrance, it’s time to take back control of your patios, yards, and decks.

A customizable, on-demand smart mosquito repellent system helps you do that by creating a mosquito-free zone whenever and wherever you want.
