Mosquito Control in Silver Lake

Enjoying the beauty of the outdoors is one of the best parts of the warmest months of the year, in spring and summer. Unfortunately, nothing turns a pleasant day into an experience that has you running back indoors as quickly as mosquitoes. Mosquito Squad has spent the last twenty years developing our powerful mosquito control solutions. If you're ready for relief from mosquitoes, our treatments can make a huge difference in preventing itchy bumps and vector-borne diseases.

Why do I need mosquito control services in Silver Lake?

If you've ever spent a warm season in Silver Lake, you already know that mosquitoes can be very irritating. But did you know that when you get bitten, you're vulnerable to health issues? Mosquitoes are known carriers of various diseases that range in severity from mild to fatal. Pets are also at risk for certain issues.

West Nile Virus is the most common mosquito-borne disease in the United States. It typically causes relatively mild symptoms, including fever, headache, and fatigue, but occasionally it may lead to severe neurological complications. Eastern Equine Encephalitis, though rarer, is more dangerous due to its potential to cause brain inflammation. Zika virus, while less prevalent now than when it was first discovered in the United States, remains a concern. This is particularly true for pregnant women due to its association with birth defects.

Animals are also at risk from mosquito-borne illnesses. Heartworm disease mainly affects dogs but can sometimes spread to cats, ferrets, and other mammals. After exposure, it may take months for your dog to show signs of infection. However, over time, it can progress to a severe condition requiring expensive treatment. 

How can I prevent mosquitoes in Silver Lake?

You can take some steps to minimize the risk of mosquito bites on your property. The most important action is to get rid of any sources of standing water. That means regularly emptying anything that can collect water, including buckets and containers or birdbaths. When you spend time outdoors, you'll be less likely to suffer bites if you minimize skin exposure by covering up with long-sleeved shirts and pants. This is particularly important at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. You should also wear insect repellent when outdoors. These preventative measures can help, but none of them will be as effective as choosing a company like Mosquito Squad to provide you with professional mosquito control treatments.

How can I control mosquitoes in Silver Lake?

Our mosquito control treatments are both flexible and convenient. You can opt into a subscription plan which will automatically prompt a technician to come out to your property every 21 days to reapply treatment, ensuring continuous control. You can choose the kind of treatment that best complements your preferences and lifestyle.

Traditional Barrier Treatment 

Our customers most frequently request our traditional barrier treatment. This specialized formula targets mosquito hideouts and breeding sites throughout your property. Our technicians apply this potent blend in these mosquito hot spots. With this treatment, you can expect a reduction in mosquito populations by up to 85-90%. The treatment can repel mosquitoes for up to three weeks, at which point another application is necessary in order to maintain strength.

Natural Alternative 

We've also developed a natural spray combining essential oils and other natural ingredients. This eco-friendly solution matches the effectiveness of our traditional spray. Our natural formula dries rapidly and emits a pleasant aroma from mosquito-repelling oils like lemongrass and cedarwood. We recommend re-treating every three weeks during peak mosquito season, which is available through our subscription plan. For round-the-clock protection, consider our automatic misting system, programmed to release the spray 2-4 times daily. (The automatic misting system is also available with the traditional barrier treatment.)
