We use an EPA-approved water-based solution that contains the synthetic version of Pyrethrum (an organic compound known as pyrethroids) which is derived from the flower heads of Chrysanthemums. We recommend staying out of the treated area until it dries, which in most cases is approximately 30 minutes. In a comparative test with DEET, when put directly on the skin, typically less than 1% of the active Permethrin ingredient is absorbed into the body; DEET can be absorbed at over 20 times that rate.

You do not!  We will always leave a flag with a date and time that you received your treatment.  Any pets will need to be brought inside during the treatment and can return to the yard after it has dried (~30 minutes). 

Yes, we overspray the grass areas close to patios, walkways, play gyms, etc. Mosquitoes do not usually seek shelter in short grass but longer grass and damp sites are a breeding ground. Ticks are more known to harbor in the organic matter of the woods so we do establish a protective barrier along the grassline of the property. Our goal in doing a pre-spray walk of the property is to seek out the areas where mosquitoes will be resting. The most common areas to find mosquitoes during the day include: the underside of the leaves of dense/shrubby plants, under decks and in damp shady areas of the property. We do recommend that you keep your grass short during the mosquito season. In some cases such as special events like weddings and large outdoor parties, we will spray the grass where your guests will be.

A typical treatment will average 20 minutes but larger yards may take longer to treat. Each treatment lasts approximately 30 days, at which time our team will be scheduled to treat your yard again. The dried residue continues to provide protection for weeks when the mosquitoes land or feed on the vegetation. The following treatments will kill the larvae of the mosquitoes creating a safe and fun backyard.

No as long as the treatment has sufficient time to dry (30 mins) your treatment will last the 30 days. Some applications warrant a sticking agent in the mix to help prolong the effectiveness during rainy periods.  We will not apply the product during a rainstorm.  As long as the product has time to dry and crystallize, rain later in the day will not lessen effectiveness.
