Frequently Asked Questions
Mosquito Hero is dedicated to providing valuable information about mosquitoes to help create safer outdoor spaces for all our clients. Our mosquito treatment reduces mosquito populations in your yard, offering protection from unwanted bites. Each month, our trained technicians will evaluate your property to identify high-risk areas and apply treatment to ensure effective, reliable mosquito control.
Most Common Questions
Mosquito treatments whether they are natural based treatments or synthetic-based treatments are evaluated for safety from the US Environmental Protection Agency. These registered compounds are safe and effective when they are prepared and applied according to their labeled use. Prior to their approval for use, scientific risk-assessments are performed by the EPA, using all available data. From such assessments, acceptable safe residue levels are established which is often six orders of magnitude—one-millionth—of levels that could be harmful. However, we do recommend that children and pets be kept inside during spraying, and for a minimum of 30 minutes after the application has been completed.
Although water is a common breeding ground for mosquitoes, it would be environmentally irresponsible to treat these areas. For this reason, we maintain a safe distance from any water sources when applying our mosquito control treatment.
While a one-time treatment can be effective, it's only temporary. A season long program is always recommended which usually means a monthly visit during active mosquito season.
Before Service
No. Although we would love to see our customers, it isn't necessary for someone to be present on the day of service. As long as you have taken the necessary steps to allow us access to the whole property, there should be no problems. If you are unable to be home for our visit, we’ll send out a service summary via email or text summarizing the service(s) we've just performed.
We kindly request that any gates are accessible and unlocked on the day of service to allow our technicians entry. If you have pets, please keep them indoors during the day of the application. Your cooperation is appreciated and it will allow us to maintain a regular and efficient schedule in order to provide you with timely applications.
After Service
Rain will not impact the treatment. As long as the weather clears long enough for the application to dry (typically 30–45 minutes, depending on humidity), the treatment will remain effective. The product is formulated to last, and precipitation will not pose an issue.
General Questions
Potentially. Some mosquitoes do carry diseases and if bitten by one, you could get infected but that’s not to say that all bites are dangerous.
If you’re experiencing mosquitoes in your home, it is likely because they are coming in from your garage, a broken or unsealed window, or screen doors. Mosquitoes are tiny in size, so can easily squeeze through any small space.
Mosquito Hero takes the size of your property into consideration when deciding these factors. We price our applications based on the size and density of your property and the amount of product we’ll need to use. Each property is unique, and we customize our application to successfully treat your mosquito problem. Request a free quote from us, today!
Remove mosquito habitats. Two stages of the mosquito lifecycle require water. Eliminating sources that collect standing water such as old tires, clogged gutters, bird baths or areas where puddles are formed effectively reduces mosquito breeding grounds.
There are over 2,700 different mosquito species around the world. They serve as food sources for a wide range of organisms, such as plants and animals, but are not critical to any predator species.
Mosquitoes tend to rest on the underside of leaf surfaces, in dense plant material such as trees, shrubs, hedges, grasses & under structures like decks, porches, and stairways.
