In Waterford, mosquitoes are most active during the hottest, most humid months of the year: summer. Each summer, you might be bitten by mosquitoes over fifty times each night, according to a 2021 study. You can get relief today with Mosquito Squad's professional mosquito control services right here in Waterford. 

Why do I need mosquito control services in Waterford?

Mosquitoes are disease carriers, even here in Waterford. There are several serious mosquito-borne illnesses that you are at risk of being exposed to through mosquito bites, some of which can even be life-threatening. 

The most common mosquito-borne illness for Americans is West Nile Virus. It can cause flu-like symptoms and, in rare cases, serious neurological conditions. Another less common but much more problematic disease is Eastern Equine Encephalitis, which often leads to brain inflammation and high fever and can be fatal. Zika Virus, while cases have decreased, also remains a concern, particularly for pregnant women, as it can cause birth defects in unborn children. 

Your pets are also at risk. Heartworm disease, transmitted by infected mosquitoes, affects pets, causing damage to the heart and lungs, with symptoms like coughing, breathing difficulties, and weight loss. Treatment is effective but costly and sometimes accompanied by complications that can impact your pet's quality of life. 

Don't let these risks keep you from enjoying your outdoor spaces. You can take back the upper hand with Mosquito Squad's mosquito control solutions!

How can I control mosquitoes in Waterford?

Though mosquitoes may seem like a formidable enemy that is impossible to fight, the truth is there is hope. 

For example, consider implementing simple preventative measures at home. Chief among these is minimizing sources of standing water in your yard, as these serve as mosquito breeding grounds. Using mosquito repellent any time you are outdoors can help make a small difference, as can utilizing fans to keep air moving on your patio and deck. (The moving air works to discourage any kind of flying pest from coming close!)

With these steps, you may notice a small decrease in the number of mosquito bites. However, for truly powerful control over the mosquitoes in your yard, we recommend enlisting the help of a company like Mosquito Squad of Waterford. Our mosquito control services are proven effective and can last up to 21 days per treatment.

For up to three weeks, our treatments can significantly reduce the mosquito population in and around your home by up to 85-90%. We offer two potent options to choose from: our traditional barrier protection treatment or our natural alternative derived from essential oils for those seeking a gentler option. For added convenience, our subscription plan automatically schedules a technician to visit your property every three weeks to re-apply the treatment, so you'll be continuously addressing the problem without the hassle of having to schedule treatment yourself.

If, however, you need on-demand treatment for an upcoming outdoor gathering, you'll want to ask about our special event sprays. When you request this service, one of our highly trained technicians will come out to the requested location a week ahead of time to apply the treatment. Then, just to be extra sure, a second reapplication will occur the day before the event. No mosquitoes on the guest list!
