Are you ready for mosquito season in Bethesda? Here are some mosquito control tips.
There is a false impression that due to our really rough winter and unusually cold temps that the mosquitoes won’t be that bad this year … WRONG! With all the moisture we have actually had, our water table is much higher than usual, ponds and lakes are over-running their banks, and there is a great deal of standing water. Please bear in mind as the temperatures heat up, mosquitoes just require a bottle cap filled with water and 7 to ten days to go from egg to biting maturity. This season you can help us help you.
Eliminate any standing water in your lawn. Throughout your planned visit, our technician will attempt to knock over any visible standing water, however please help us help you by tipping over any standing water you see between your routine sprays.
When was the last time you cleaned the rain gutters? Many times when there is trouble in the backyard, which isn’t evident, it can often be traced to clogged rain gutters. Rain gutters are ideal reproducing grounds for mosquitoes.
Remember that throughout your very first mosquito treatment we will generally kill 80 to 90 percent of the mosquitoes in your backyard. This implies that if you have one thousand mosquitoes, you might still have up to two hundred. With subsequent treatments we will continue to reduce the population in your yard. And bear in mind, if by chance you end up having a mosquito surge in-between treatments, for those clients on seasonal plans, simply call us and we’ll take care of it it complimentary of charge.
Here’s to a fantastic mosquito free spring and summer!
