Atlanta residents feel the pain every spring and summer when the mosquitos seem to swarm everywhere outdoors. With Georgia’s above-average winter temperatures, we are expecting an earlier mosquito season than usual in early spring. Now is the time to start planning on how to get rid of mosquitoes before they even start biting – and keep them out of your homes, yards, and patios for good. We have a few tips to help home and business owners get started.
Our team will use professional-grade chemical insecticides to kill the mosquitoes at all life stages, specific to your property’s needs. Our Once-A-Year Pest Application Service is an exceptional way to keep your home or investment property mosquito-free year-round.
Keeping your yard manicured and tidy means fewer places for mosquitoes to hang out. Survey your yard now – if there are landscaping changes you’d like to make, start now!
As part of your anti-mosquito landscaping project, we’d also recommend planting a variety of mosquito-repelling vegetation. Not only do planters full of marigolds and alliums look amazing, but their scent keeps mosquitoes away. Fill your garden beds with garlic, citronella, basil, and lavender to double up on mosquito prevention plants.
Are there any areas on your property that water accumulates? Areas of standing water, including overturned buckets or toys, drainage ditches, or whatever else, are a major hotspot for mosquito activity. Mosquitos thrive and breed in these high-moisture conditions.
Standing water includes your pools, hot tubs, and ponds. Treat these backyard water features with special insecticides to prevent mosquitoes from using them as a breeding ground. We can help recommend products best suited for your needs.
