April showers may bring May flowers, but they also bring mosquitoes. The wet weather that we have had so far this year, combined with some fast rising temperatures, have given rise to our mosquito population already. I noticed several in my back yard the other night.

I understand that all of these things are not always practical and for that reason, we have a treatment program that will help to eliminate mosquitoes from your yard. Our program makes monthly applications (May – September) to the foliage around your home and yard. We use a microscopic material that clings to the undersides of leaves and foliage where the mosquitoes rest and hide during the day. This will eliminate large numbers of mosquitoes and generally reduce the population to a number that will allow you to enjoy your yard.
