Barrier Spray

Your Mosquito Joe professional will apply the treatment using a backpack sprayer, paying particular attention to trees, shrubs, plants, wood piles, tall grass, and piled leaves or organic debris where mosquitoes like to hide.

Although the pyrethroid blend we use in our barrier spray is a powerful insecticide, it can be used around living areas with children and pets. Please wait until the spray dries before returning to the treated areas. Generally, a half-hour is sufficient time to wait following a barrier spray treatment before resuming your outdoor activities.

The barrier spray controls biting insects on contact. However, the spray we use also bonds to foliage, where it remains a potent insect repellent once dry. Because it effectively repels insects from moving in, the spray essentially creates a barrier around the space, leaving your property a safe zone for up to three weeks running.

If we have any suggestions to prevent re-infestation, these notes will be left on the post-service door hanger at the end of our treatment. Every three weeks, our team will return to treat your yard to ensure it remains free from mosquitoes and other annoying pests.

All of our 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 us to let you know your yard has been properly treated.

Even when we treat your property and you remove standing water where mosquitoes breed, the risk of biting insects remains. Your neighbor may still attract and support mosquito populations with their standing water sources. This is why ongoing barrier spray treatment is essential to maintain a proper defense against biters. It not only gets rid of the mosquitoes currently active on your property, but it acts as a barrier to new populations of biters that would otherwise invade your space. The barrier we create stays strong so new mosquitoes don’t come in and start breeding.

Yes! Our eco-friendly treatments use garlic or essential botanical oils like lemongrass, peppermint, and rosemary to repel biting insects for up to 30 days.
