How Effective is Mosquito Treatment?

Mosquito treatment is as effective as the effort put into it. When it comes to staying protected from mosquitoes during the spring and summer here in Southampton, you likely want the longest-lasting, most effective mosquito repellent. Trying to apply mosquito treatment on your own can be both inefficient and dangerous for several reasons. Professional mosquito exterminators such as those employed with East End Tick & Mosquito Control® are experts in mosquito problems in the Southampton area.

When you are working with a professional mosquito exterminator, you can trust that your mosquito treatment will work to keep the pests away. A mosquito control expert like East End Tick & Mosquito Control® will know when treatment may need to be readministered, as well as the best time of year for mosquito treatment to be as effective as possible.

Depending on the type of mosquito treatment used, they are typically effective for one to two months. The weather, environment, and the mosquito population size can all affect how long mosquito treatment stays effective. Mosquito treatment usually starts in the very early spring months, which is typically early April here in Southampton.

When you work with a professional mosquito control expert, they will determine when your Southampton home or property needs to be retreated for mosquitoes. The goal is to make sure your yard is mosquito-proof throughout the entire mosquito season, which is why multiple treatments may be required.

In general, more than one mosquito treatment is needed to provide ongoing protection against mosquitoes in the spring and summer. After about a month’s time, the repellent that was applied will begin to degrade, therefore weakening the barrier around your yard. Rather than let the repellent fade away, it’s important to have your yard retreated to continue protecting you and your family from mosquitoes until the fall and winter months.

In between professional treatment, you should still keep an eye on your yard to look for signs of mosquito activity. In addition, practice the following routine to ensure mosquitoes stay away:

Mosquito repellents, like barrier treatments, are highly effective at controlling mosquitoes. A barrier treatment involves targeted spraying in mosquito-heavy areas around your property. This allows for a completely custom treatment on each unique property. The goal of mosquito spraying is to control active mosquitoes as well as repel future generations from hatching.
