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."
Mites hate dry conditions, extreme temperatures, and specific scents. Since they prefer humid environments, eliminating moisture inside your home can help kill them off. If you have essential oils at your disposal, you can use eucalyptus, rosemary, and clove to help get rid of and keep mites at bay.
Like many animals, gophers are bothered by strong scents. Peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and coffee grounds can be used as deterrents against these pests. Similarly, you can try planting lavender, rosemary, sage, geraniums, or pine trees, as these plants all have strong smells that can ward away gophers. While it may be less pleasant to work with, coyote urine scares gophers by tricking the pests into thinking your yard is a predator hot spot.
If you seal bees in a wall and don’t leave them any way to escape, they may make one of their own. Otherwise, they’ll die inside the wall, and that creates many additional problems. It takes a long time, and the bees will start rotting, which can make your home smell miserable. All the dead bees and any honeycombs they may have created will also attract a number of bugs or other pests to your home. That’s why we suggest removing the bees entirely, and not trying to seal them away.
Professional pest control works faster than any DIY method, so it’s the way to go if you want your pest problem gone ASAP. A basic treatment can take place in under six hours, while larger fumigations may take up to a week. You should start noticing a significant reduction in pests within a couple of days, with full results in about a week on average.
Chemical treatments, bait systems, and physical barriers are common approaches.
