Making a Dent in Mosquito Populations
Warmer weather means more outdoor activity, both for humans and
for bugs. What starts out as a simple day out or barbecue can end in a dozen
red, itchy bites, all thanks to mosquitoes. These biting bugs can ruin any
public event but they also skulk around private properties as well. Instead of
letting your tenants, guests and customers become meals for these pests, cut
them off at the source, with a bit of help from the pros.
The Right Treatment Methods
Most Canadians are quick to reach for an aerosol bug spray at the
first sign of a mosquito. These sprays are not great for the environment, for
your skin and let’s be
honest, they smell awful! Aerosol sprays have a way of travelling, contaminating
any food or drinks nearby, getting into eyes, mouths and tons of other areas.
It is not uncommon to spend hundreds of dollars a season in an
attempt to create a pest-free environment. Between citronella coils, torches
and even industrial size deterrents might work for a smaller space but the
larger the property, the less effective these become. Instead of struggling
through ineffective methods and sky-rocketing costs, trust a professional
service to get the best results at the best possible pricing.
How It All Works
Just like humans, pests have certain dislikes. For some rodents,
it might be a household tools like aluminum foil, but for outdoor spaces, it is
up to lawn and garden experts to get creative. When it comes to mosquitoes and
even ticks, natural oils are enough to keep these intruders away from large
spaces, for long periods of time.
An all-natural approach combines essential oils like garlic and
citrus to create a baseline spray, combined with other natural deterrents to
create an even stronger barrier between bugs and your space. All of these minor
barriers, layered together creates an inhospitable environment for mosquitoes,
leading them to find somewhere else to call home.
While barrier sprays are the headline attraction for your barrier
needs, our experts aren’t
too shabby either. By inspecting properties and assessing problem areas for
water collection and pooling, our crew helps to eliminate unnecessary threats
for infestation and pest traffic.
