Mosquitoes aren’t just annoying and their bites aren’t just an itchy inconvenience — they can also carry some serious diseases, such as West Nile Virus and the rare, and potentially fatal Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), of which Massachusetts unfortunately has the distinction of having the highest number of cases in the country.  Westford MA mosquito protection is essential for your family’s health and well being.

While it is true that there is a Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control Project (CMMCP), there is very little assurance that a municipal program will protect your family and property from mosquitoes. This mosquito control program is focused more on public areas like marshes, other bodies of water, and general open spaces — not private properties. The trucks that do fogging in the streets may help with your front yard and driveway, but this treatment rarely (if ever) reaches your backyard.

To rely solely on the CMMCP program is simply not going to help you enjoy your backyard for time with family or entertaining friends. It’s our mission to eliminate mosquitoes not in the streets, but in your yard.

Westford MA Mosquito Control  That Lasts

The chemicals that the CMMCP uses kill mosquitoes on contact. That may seem like a good thing, but consider this: If you have just ONE female mosquito in an area that wasn’t hit by the fog (such as your backyard), it will lay about 300 eggs in one batch. In four weeks’ time, this will multiply to over 1.3 billion mosquitoes.

A reputable Central Mass mosquito control company will offer a mosquito barrier protection spray.  This is the best way to go about eliminating mosquitoes on your property. Treating the perimeter of your yard with a specially developed, time-released formula creates a protective barrier or “fence” against mosquitoes that adheres to foliage. This both eliminates the insects on contact and continues to protect your yard for up to three weeks. This will eradicate the mosquito population on your property by up to 90%. In that three weeks, the municipal mosquito control fogging trucks will need to be deployed multiple times, as their treatment is not time released.

But with seasonal mosquito control packages, fewer treatments mean more quality time spent outside in your yard with loved ones, and your property will be protected the entire season.

All-Natural Solutions for Worry-Free Mosquito Treatment

Even though there are EPA-registered mosquito sprays available, I understand that some people prefer to stay as “green” as possible, which is why there are also  all natural, organic barrier spray options. These formulas are developed mainly with essential oils, which acts more as a repellent of mosquitoes than an eradicator. While not quite as effective as a traditional tick and mosquito control treatment, most residents notice a significant reduction in yard pests, usually between 65-80%. Also time released, an all-natural formula lasts up to two weeks. These organic barrier spray options are perfect for your eco-friendly home.
