Mosquito Zika Control in Massachusetts

Mosquito InformationJeff Emerson

Mosquito Synthetic Pesticide Barrier Treatments with an IGR Added Equals Excellent Mosquito Control

The CDC has reported their  first known zika virus infected human in the USA as of March 2017. Their 2017 forecast is a possible explosion of zika infected human cases coming this year, are you prepared?

The state funded space spraying treatments that Essex and Middlesex  counties currently do has zero affect on mosquitoes that carry the zika virus. This is because the counties space spraying treatments are done at dusk and dawn. Their pesticide treatments can only actively kill mosquitoes that are in  flight. Once their pesticide space spraying pesticide lands on something it is no longer effective. It is only effective when it is in the air (airborne).  They can not enter your property without permission . 98% of all homeowners do not receive any benefits from this type of application, zika is expected to sky rocket in 2017. County pesticide spraying has been useless in the quest of zika virus carrying mosquito control.

The zika virus carrying mosquito is active only during the day time and is resting at night.

This is why you need mosquito enemy to treat your property with a barrier treatment with a synthetic pesticide that will keep killing mosquitoes for up to 21 days.  Our treatment kills all mosquitoes when and where they rest, and all mosquitoes have to rest. If you add a Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) to your barrier treatments you will kill all future generations of mosquitoes. IGR’s kill off the mosquitoes eggs, larvae and pupae when the female flies to a water source to lay her eggs. When another female mosquito lays her eggs within 3 feet of where the IGR infected mosquito laid her eggs, all of her eggs will not hatch was well. This is a fantastic means of reducing all future mosquito generations. For your free quote Call Now (978)363-2222

Mosquito Control of Zika in Peabody MA 01960

Mosquito InformationJeff Emerson

How To Control Mosquitoes In Wetland Areas

2017 offers new products available to treat for the control of mosquitoes in wetland areas with zika, west nile, triple e, chikungunya other viruses. It depends upon your unique situation as to witch choice is right for you. Some yards have standing water such as ponds, others have wetlands close by. Or maybe we are just dealing with the occasionally wet area after a rain storm. A good rule of thumb is if the standing water is gone within 4 days we just don’t worry about it. On the other hand if its still visible after 4 days we now have a breeding site for mosquitoes. How we treat depends upon many factors, is the water on or off your property but within 1200 feet? This is the furthest distance 93% of the mosquitoes that bother you are traveling from. The other 7% are traveling to your residence by strong winds as they are weak fliers.

Yes you can treat for this situation with our newest pesticide pyridine. Pyridine is a growth regulator (GR) that will kill or destroy the first 3 stages of a mosquitoes life cycle. This along with barrier mist spray treatments will greatly reduce your mosquito population. This pesticide transfers to the female’s legs while she is harboring. When she fly’s off to lay her eggs even if it’s not on your property the pyridine will transfer to not only her eggs but to any eggs larva or pupa within 1 meter of hers.  This transfer effect  gives you excellent control of the first 3 stages of a mosquitoes life cycle.

If the water source is only on your property we have other choices that are just as beneficial. We can treat only those areas with a different form and active ingredient to kill the eggs. These pesticides will effect only the eggs of mosquitoes and flies in water. They bring no harm to fish and other forms of water life.

Mosquito Zika Tick Control Spraying in Reading MA

Mosquito Information, Tick InformationJeff Emerson

Having Problems with Mosquitoes and Ticks? 

We can help, take control of your yard back with  one of two choices to treat your yard against these vector insects.  Your choices are either All-Natural or Synthetic Pesticides. First lets go over the differences between the two.

 

The Buzz words Organic or All-Natural are usually one or several oils blended together they are sold as a *25b not a EPA regulated pesticide. They control about 70%  of your mosquito population by repelling them. If your wanting to not expose your family or pets to any pesticides this is the choice for you. However you do have to understand even though they do a ok job you will not receive the best control as a synthetic pesticide has to offer you.

Synthetic Pesticides are made to replicate the african chrysanthemum flower buds oils. They are an excellent choice, very safe for your family and pets and will do an excellent job with approximately 93% eradication of mosquitoes and ticks from your yard.

All Pesticides are labeled by the EPA as either:

Caution

Warning

Danger

The synthetic pesticides we use are labelled CAUTION. This is the lowest product alertness allowed by the EPA to be on a pesticide label. All-Natural or Organic  products also have  CAUTION  on their labels. As you see they both have a need to be handled mixed and sprayed in a safe manner.

Please keep in mind it is impossible to repeal or eradicate all mosquitoes from your yard the choice you make is yours. As always be sure your Mosquito and Tick Control Company is properly licensed and insured. All Natural or Organic Companies do not require licensing or insurance by the State of Massachusetts buyer beware.

Mosquito Enemy offers both All-Natural and Synthetic barrier mist spray treatment applications. All of our employees are licensed by the Massachusetts Pesticide Bureau and fully insured.

Call us today to schedule a no obligation free estimate of your mosquito and tick needs. (978) 363-2222

 

 

*25b  are not licensed products by the EPA or regulated by the Massachusetts Pesticide Bureau as they are all-natural ingredients.

Town of Lynnfield MA Mosquito and Tick Control

Mosquito Information, Tick InformationJeff Emerson

cta2-150x77mosquito-min-min

Essex County’s mosquito control division has a limited budget for spraying and fogging in Lynnfield Ma. If you desire a consistent and regular mosquito control program for your property you must look at other options. To date Essex County doesn’t offer any tick control treatment programs to the public.

First things first, you can help yourself with mosquito control just by ridding your yard of water holding areas. This practice  is better known as Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Proper and weekly IPM will reduce the sheer numbers of mosquitoes from your property. Mosquitoes need water plus warm temperatures in order for their eggs to hatch. You need to reduce and eliminate the amount of water yourself on a weekly schedule. Tip over and empty buckets, lids, kids toys, dog dishes and flower pots. Keep all tarps pulled tight.Inspect all gutters for proper drainage and to keep debris out of them. Look closely at how the water runs away from gutters. Do not use corrugated pipe to direct water away from your home, these pipes are home to thousands of mosquitoes. If you have a pond on your property aeration (water fountains) helps stop mosquitoes from laying their eggs in water.

As for ticks  keep all leaves and brush picked up off your lawn areas. Rake back all property edges 5 feet, keep firewood piles away from your home and off the ground.

Just these few steps will have a huge impact on the reduction of mosquitoes and ticks on your property.   There are many ways to achieve your mosquito and tick free yard.  All-Natural products act as a repellant while Synthetic Pesticides will eradicate them. Your family and pets safety of either All-Natural or Synthetic Pesticides lies with you. I do want you to rest assure both are very safe. Hire a licensed professional skilled in mosquito and tick barrier spraying and water management treatments to rid your yard of the remainder.
