An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That's true with Mosquito Shield's approach to our products. With 20 years' experience developing our blend of all-natural oils, we use these oils and select EPA-registered control products for 3-pronged mosquito control:\n\n1. Mask: Mosquitoes are attracted to breathing. Our proprietary mosquito product masks the CO2 you exhale so they can't find you.\n2. Repel: Our blend of natural oils irritates mosquitoes' senses, driving them away. Regular visits and applications prevent mosquitoes and ticks from entering your yard.\n3. Kill: We kill mosquitoes using select control products. The products we use, how much we use and when we apply them is an important job we don't take lightly. With our Tailored Treatment System' we use as little as necessary based on weather and mosquito population to control your property's mosquitoes.
Mosquito Squad Plus signifies our dedication to safeguarding outdoor and indoor spaces from a wider range of pests beyond mosquitoes. Weve expanded our offerings with additional pest control products and application methods that work in tandem with our Barrier Treatment. These include granular treatments, baits, dusts, and sprays designed to target over 50 types of pests, including crawling insects like spiders, roaches, ants, and flying pests like flies and gnats.
"Very knowledgeable guy who seem to know what he’s doing. Don’t know results of spraying. Have had much rain since. Will have to see if it worked. Terminex will spray again the beginning of next month."
A bowl of vinegar will not kill fleas and acts only as a repellent. To get rid of fleas, you can create a homemade flea trap or buy flea traps from a local hardware store. Consistent trapping and meticulous cleaning will help eliminate fleas before they become an infestation. If you have a moderate to severe flea infestation, you’ll likely need the help of a local flea control specialist.
Some of the smells we love are, thankfully, pretty putrid for mosquitoes. A few essential oils that might have them swarming in the other direction include:
Lavender
Citronella
Eucalyptus
Cinnamon
Thyme
Be careful how and where you apply essential oils around pets and children, and top them off regularly so they stay effective.
Generally, squirrels are not considered aggressive toward humans. They are more likely to flee than confront people. However, like many animals, they may exhibit aggressive behavior if they feel threatened or cornered. If you approach a squirrel too closely or try to handle it, especially if it's a mother protecting her young, it may resort to defensive tactics such as biting or scratching.
Naturally occurring EPA-registered Bti products are an effective way to kill off mosquitoes at the larval stage. And, although they won’t wipe them out, there are lots of natural repellents that make your yard less attractive to mosquitoes. Try planting some marigolds, lemon thyme, or other plants they’ll steer clear of, light a citronella candle or two, or lay some bug-offensive cedar mulch.
