Special Events

Mosquito control for special events may include several of the following steps:

• Light citronella candles and torches. Citronella emits a heavy scent that helps repel mosquitoes.
• Add mosquito dunks to standing water in bird baths or gutters. The dunks get rid of mosquito eggs, helping to curtail the population of bloodsuckers leading up to your party.
• Position insect-repelling plants (such as lavender and rosemary) around the property.
• Set up overhead and oscillating fans to keep the air moving. This helps deter mosquito activity.
• Skip the perfume. Perfumes and cologne attract mosquitoes. Encourage guests to arrive free of fragrance whenever possible.
• Dress for success. Encourage guests to dress in light-colored, loose clothing rather than dark, skintight clothes. Mosquitoes are attracted to darker-colored clothes.
• Apply insect repellent to your skin to prevent mosquito bites.
• Offer mosquito wipes to your guests. These convenient wipes allow you to apply insect repellent without making a mess.
• Schedule a special event pest control application from Mosquito Joe.

Keep in mind: The most effective pest control typically involves the implementation of multiple tactics.

Typically, it’s a good idea to spray your yard a day or two before your event. If you opt for same-day mosquito control services, the treatment only takes around 30 minutes to dry and lasts up to 21 days.

A mosquito barrier spray is the most popular and effective method for mosquito control. However, you may choose to layer multiple techniques for the ultimate protection from these biting bugs.

Mosquito control differs across the United States based on climate. However, pros usually target areas where mosquitoes lay eggs, apply larvicide to areas with standing water, and utilize backpack sprayers for adult mosquitoes.

At Mosquito Joe, we apply traditional mosquito control spray that contains synthetic forms of pyrethrins, also called pyrethroids, which are organic compounds from Chrysanthemum flowers. However, we also offer eco-friendly options that utilize effective pest-repelling essential oils.

A mosquito control plan is a strategy to target, reduce, and prevent mosquitoes. It often involves identifying problem areas, using a type of mosquito treatment, and implementing mosquito prevention techniques.
