Barrier spray mosquito treatments work right away – and continue to work for weeks.
When you contract Mosquito Joe of the Bluegrass, Louisville for mosquito control, a trained technician will treat your yard with an effective barrier spray that eliminates mosquitoes for 21 days. Using a backpack sprayer designed for precise application, your technician targets shrubs and plants with a barrier spray that kills mosquitoes on contact and bonds to foliage, where it acts as a mosquito repellent for weeks to come. Within 30 minutes of spraying, your yard is ready for family and pets to enjoy the outdoors again.
Mosquito Joe also inspects your property for active larvae populations, and will treat them accordingly. Your technician will help you identify potential mosquito breeding grounds in your yard and recommend ways to eliminate standing water. These notes will be left on the post-service door hanger at the end of the treatment. Every three weeks, our team will return to treat your yard.
All of the barrier spray chemicals we use are synthetic forms of pyrethrins called pyrethroids. Pyrethrins are insecticides that are derived from a naturally occurring compound called pyrethrum found in the chrysanthemum flower. Pyrethroids are used in numerous commercial products that consumers use to control insects, such as household pet insecticides, pet shampoos and sprays, and even lice shampoos that are applied directly to the scalp. The standard barrier spray treatment is also effective on other pests such as fleas, ticks and some types of flies.
All mosquito control services can be scheduled at your convenience, whether you are home or not. As long as your property is accessible, you can trust your technician to let you know your yard has been treated. Call 502-286-3400 to learn more.
