Pest Myths, Debunked by Your Local Mosquito Joe
After more than a decade in the field, Deb and Dan have heard it all — old wives’ tales, neighborly “expert” advice, and wild guesses. Some of it’s true… a lot of it isn’t. Here’s a look at the myths they’ve debunked for Wayne residents:
- “Mosquitoes only breed in large water sources.
Even tiny amounts of standing water — in flowerpots, gutters, birdbaths, or toys left outside — can be like a five-star resort for mosquitoes. Empty them regularly to cut down on buzzing visitors. - “A messy yard doesn’t attract pests.”
Spiders, ticks love a little chaos as much as you might love a weekend nap. Remove leaves, wood piles, and debris to discourage unwelcome visitors. - “Pest control will damage my plants or vegetables.”
Our service professionals avoid vegetable gardens, ornamental plants, and any areas you request. Every preference is logged so each visit is consistent.“ - If I can’t smell it, it didn’t work.”
Many of our treatments have little to no scent — that’s normal and doesn’t affect effectiveness. Natural treatments do carry a light botanical smell that fades quickly. - “Pests only appear in one season.”
Not true! While some pests peak in certain seasons, many — like spiders, ticks, and mosquitoes — can appear throughout the year. Knowing when they’re most active helps you stay ahead. - “Pest treatments harm beneficial insects.”Our service pros carefully target problem areas to protect bees and other helpful insects. Mosquito Joe offers natural treatment options, designed not to harm beneficial insects, and as a PESP partner with guidance from certified urban entomologists, all treatments are applied responsibly.
