Effective Leominster Mosquito Control

I don’t really need to tell you that mosquitoes are annoying. You know that. But did you have any idea how dangerous they are? So dangerous, in fact, that they’re literally considered deadliest animal in the world, because of all the diseases they can carry.

While West Nile virus, is the most common mosquito-borne disease in the United States, there are even more dangerous ones on the rise here, including Eastern equine encephalitis, which is fatal to both horses and humans. The Centers for Disease Control very recently reported that bug-borne diseases more than tripled since 2004, which doesn’t just include illnesses spread by mosquitoes, but ticks and fleas, too.

That’s why you should take your Leominster mosquito control seriously. Some things are too precious not to protect, and relying on the Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control Project (CMMCP), of which the Town of Leominster falls under, simply isn’t going to protect you in your own yard. Why? Because an municipal program like that is only concerned with public areas like parks, catch basins, and roadways. Plus, the formula they use while their fogging trucks drive around at night only knocks down mosquitoes on contact.

Professional Leominster mosquito control is different than CMMCP. A specially-formulated, micro encapsulated barrier treatment can rid your yard of nearly 90% of mosquitoes and other biting bugs for three weeks straight.

How long-lasting mosquito barrier spray works

Licensed technicians will first walk around your property and get rid of any standing water or other mosquito-breeding sites, treating them with larvicide to eliminate any existing larvae and preventing any eggs from hatching. After that, they start distributing an EPA-registered barrier spray treatment around the perimeter of your yard, then work our way inward.

Professional mosquito control technicians are careful to avoid any bee-friendly plants like flowers, but otherwise distribute our micro-encapsulated formula on everything else. This includes foliage and the undersides of leaves, bushes, trees, woodpiles, decks and underneath them, lawn ornaments, you name it. Just like the CMMCP’s fogging spray, this type of formula knocks down mosquitoes on contact, but that’s where the similarities end. After a barrier treatment dries (it takes about 30 minutes), it’s now adhered to everything it was sprayed on. Then, for 21 days after it was applied, any new mosquitoes or other biting bugs that come into contact with it are also eliminated, resulting in a reduction of the bug population in your yard by nearly 90%. Barrier treatments are both odorless and colorless, so you won’t even know it’s there . . . except you’ll know it’s working when you don’t notice any bugs!

While a Leominster mosquito control barrier treatment is the most powerful, and longest-lasting on the market, it’s true that “nothing lasts forever.” Which is why I highly recommend another application after three weeks. Because it’s easy to slip people’s minds to reschedule, mosquito control companies offer seasonal plans so you can enjoy summers in your yard without needing to worry about the buzzing, the biting, and the potentially harmful illnesses that mosquitoes can transmit to your family and friends.

Don’t have a party without inviting a Leominster mosquito control expert for a special event treatment!

If you’re planning a Leominster outdoor wedding, family reunion, birthday party, graduation party or other special event, don’t forget about the potential invasion of insects and other mosquitoes. Mosquito control companies offer a special event mosquito control service to make sure you and your guests aren’t on the mosquito menu.

A day or two in advance, they’ll visit the site of the occasion and spray the entire area down with a highly effective barrier spray. It usually only takes us about 20 minutes to do the treatment, and it dries in less than 30 minutes, so scheduling around caterers and other pre-event preparation is easy. This treatment will eliminate the bugs on contact and for the duration of the entire event, so you’ll have to be the one to pressure your guests to leave, since the bugs won’t be doing that for you.

Want the heaviest-duty Leominster mosquito control you can find? Check out misting systems!

If you have a horse farm, live near a wooded or marshy area, have waterfront property, or simply want more Leominster mosquito control, I highly recommend a choice of automatic misting systems. These systems are relatively easy for technicians to install, and the misters are strategically placed around your property to blend in and be as “camouflaged” as possible. At specified intervals, the system releases a mist of a micro encapsulated formula for about 30 seconds. Or, at your command with the included remote control and app. You can even trigger the system to go off when you’re not at home. This heavy-duty mosquito control method is over 90% effective and your mosquito professionals take care of all the refills, summer setup, winterization, and any maintenance needed in between it may need, so the only finger you need to lift is the one to trigger the system if you want to.

Looking for something a bit “greener”?

While all professional Leominster mosquito control products are EPA-registerd, I understand that some people prefer to avoid synthetics altogether. Not a problem. That’s why reputable mosquito control companies also offer an all-natural barrier treatment solution, that is designed and developed with essential oils, and continue to mix in-house.

It’s a repellant, not an eliminator, essentially “chasing” the bugs away. While not quite as effective as a traditional barrier treatment, it’s pretty close — most homeowners notice a significant reduction of yard pests anywhere between 65-80%. It is also a time-released formula, but because of its botanical makeup breaks down slightly faster. Therefore, I recommend reapplication of an all-natural formula every two weeks, as opposed to the three that our traditional treatment would need.
