Mosquitos are no longer just an irritating pest, they are a full-blown health threat. Diseases such as Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE), West Nile Virus (WNV) and Zika fever have spread across the country, transmitted by mosquitos, and the demand for professional management of mosquitos has increased. With Knock’Em Out Pest Control you get reliable mosquito protection using safe and effective methods that will keep your outdoor areas mosquito free.
After conducting a thorough inspection identifying conditions that are conducive to mosquito breeding we will develop a customized program involving a combination of methods that will help break the mosquito lifecycle reducing the risks of bits and making your home a safer place for you and your pets.
Mosquitos breed in water so the first line of defense is reducing, or eliminating, standing water. Consider things like children’s sandboxes, plastic toys, downspouts, planters, rain barrels, pools and even dog bowls. Other potential problem areas can be things such as tarps, gutters and flat roofs. If a tarp is being used, make sure it is stretched tightly or is peaked in order to allow water to drain from it.
Treating a yard or area to control or eliminate mosquitos is called barrier spraying. Using only environmentally safe products we will spray foliage and wooded areas where mosquitos (and ticks) live and feed. This will eliminate the pests and protect the area for weeks. This is the process we recommend for most yard types.
