Frequently Asked Questions about mosquito control (FAQ)
1. Is our mosquito control barrier-spray safe for kids and pets?
Yes, as long as the mosquito control barrier-spray is applied by one of our mosquito control applicators, it is safe for people and pets. People and pets should be inside or away from the area being treated.
2. How long do people and pets have to stay off the treated area after the mosquito control barrier-spray has been applied?
People and pets should stay off the treated area for 30 minutes to give the spray time to dry.
3. Should I cut the grass before the mosquito control barrier-spray is applied?
Our mosquito control applicators do not typically spray the grass unless you are having an outdoor event like a wedding or party or you do not have any foliage or trees or bushes to treat with our barrier-spray. So, if we will be spraying your grass, yes, try to have the grass cut before we come.
4. Do you notify us before you come?
Yes, we will notify you at least a day ahead of time before we come.
5. How long does the mosquito control barrier-spray last?
Typically, about 2-3 weeks.
6. Will rain affect how long the mosquito control barrier-spray lasts?
Usually, a little bit of rain will not affect the barrier-spray but heavy rain may wash the spray away. Our mosquito control applicators follow the weather forecast closely and if heavy rain is forecast, we try to come after the rain has passed.
7. How effective is the mosquito control barrier-spray?
We hope that our mosquito control barrier-spray reduces mosquitoes by about 90 percent. Some of our customers never see another mosquito and others will see a significant reduction in mosquitoes.
