We’re all familiar with it — that high-pitched whizzing sound of a mosquito buzzing by your ear. Constant smacking yourself when you notice one on you. The itchy bites that come with these annoying little bugs. Yeah, mosquitoes are annoying, that’s for sure.

But what’s worse than the annoyance? The fact that they’re literally the most prolific killer of all time. You read that right. Mosquitoes are carriers for so many different diseases it’s hard to count. We’ve all heard of West Nile virus, which was confirmed to have been found in North Andover last year according to Wicked Local. The rare Eastern equine encephalitis is fatal to horses and humans alike (and more common in Massachusetts than anywhere else), and let’s not forget about Zika virus, which got on the nation’s radar in 2016. Though cases have significantly dropped, there were 114 cases of Zika in Massachusetts at the end of 2017. So, while Zika isn’t as common as it used to be, it’s far from eradicated.

So what’s a person to do about their Andover MA mosquito control? Well, you can’t rely on the Northeast Massachusetts Mosquito Control and Wetlands Management (NMMCWM), that’s for sure. While I applaud their efforts for mosquito control in Andover and all over Essex County, they’re focused on open bodies of water like marshes, and public areas like roadways and parks. A municipal program like NMMCWM is not going to protect you and your loved ones in your own backyard from mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit. That’s not where their interest lies, but it’s exactly why professional mosquito control companies exist. It’s time to take back your yard from these little monsters and enjoy it like it was meant to be enjoyed, free from worries of these bugs.

Andover MA Mosquito Control That Lasts

You know those mosquito fogging trucks that NMMCWM has driving around at night? Their process is called adulticide, which basically means it eliminates adult mosquitoes on contact. Specially-formulated, micro encapsulated professional barrier spray treatments eliminate adult mosquitoes on contact, too, but there’s a big difference — this formula is time-released, meaning that it keep on working for three weeks after application. It even eliminates mosquito eggs so that they never hatch and further populate your yard. A professional barrier treatment will eliminate up to 90% of mosquitoes in your yard in that time. That’s much more than NMMCWM can say, as they’ll have driven around multiple times fogging up the air with their mosquito treatment in those three weeks.

Your highly-trained mosquito control technicians come out to your property and distribute an odorless barrier treatment around the perimeter of your yard first, then work their way inward. They make sure the avoid flowers and other bee-friendly plants, but definitely get all surfaces of other foliage, including bushes, trees, and the underside of leaves. They will also treat other surfaces where bugs like to hang out, like woodpiles, decks, patios, porches, and more. A barrier spray formula is an adhesive solution, meaning that it sticks to wherever it’s applied. For three weeks after initial distribution, any new mosquitoes (or other biting insects) that encounter our formula will also be eliminated shortly thereafter.

Special Event Mosquito Control

If you’re planning an Andover MA outdoor wedding, family reunion or birthday, graduation, Memorial Day party, or other special event, don’t forget about the potential invasion of insects and other mosquitoes. Reputable Andover MA mosquito control companies offer special event mosquito control services 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. These mosquito sprays dry in less than 30 minutes, so scheduling around caterers and other pre-event preparation is easy. This mosquito 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.

Automatic Misting Systems for Push-Button Mosquito Control

If you’ve got horses, live near a woodsy area, have waterfront property, or just want more control over the mosquitoes in your yard, consider an automatic misting system for the ultimate in Andover MA mosquito control. These systems are easily installed by trained technicians to blend in with your landscaping, then programmed to go off at designated times for 30 seconds, or at your command with the included remote control. This mosquito elimination tactic ensures over 90% mosquito reduction and gives you peace of mind while putting the mosquito control power in your hands. Best of all, your mosquito control professionals take care of the install, the refills, maintenance, and summer setup and winterization. No need to lift a finger when it comes to automatic misting systems — unless you want to push the button.

All-Natural Mosquito Control Solution

Consider yourself more of a “crunchy” type? I know that despite professional mosquito control products being EPA-registered, some people still prefer to go as “green” as possible. That’s why reputable companies have developed special all-natural barrier sprays, based on essential oils. It smells great and doesn’t eliminate mosquitoes and other bugs like the traditional treatment, but rather “chases them away” as a repellent. Also a time-released formula, I recommend reapplication of the all-natural treatment every two weeks instead of three.

I recommend only the best Andover MA mosquito control for your family’s complete protection with professional mosquito control efforts.
