Private properties can also enjoy the benefits of a well-planned mosquito control program. Whether for a special event or for season long control, PMC has a solution for you. Applications consist primarily of a 'barrier' treatment. And, depending upon the size of your property or needs, a ULV application may be made. Barrier Treatment. This is generally a backpack application to the foliage surrounding your property. We apply a permethrin-based product that mimics the properties of the naturally occurring insecticide produced by the chrysanthemum plant. It's applied to all areas of your yard where mosquitoes harbor. This kills mosquitoes that come in contact with the treated area for 7 to 10 days after application, depending upon rainfall and density of vegetation. . ULV Application. Larger properties with mature, dense foliage and vegetation may advantage from a ULV adulticide appliction to help control mosquitoes. These treatments also help when mosquito populations are high and a more immediate reduction is needed in the case of a special event. These applications are done with a ULV sprayer on the back of an ATV, generally performed from dusk into early evening when most mosquitoes are flying in search of food. As always, only products registered with the EPA for mosquito control are used. "In 1999, the Big Pine Lake Association declared war on mosquitoes. The bugs had become so bad that it was nearly impossible to be outside without being attacked back into our homes and cabins. We engaged with Professional Mosquito Control (PMC) to evaluate our problem and provide a solution that was environmentally sound and cost-effective. PMC recommended a program where they would spray areas around our homes and cabins every two weeks throughout the summer months. The results have been absolutely phenomenal! I estimate that mosquitoes are reduced by 90% or more with PMC's biweekly applications. Our families now enjoy the lake much more than ever before, and we rarely need to apply bug spray to our kids. I highly recommend PMC—they're experts on mosquito control, have very effective programs, and have excellent customer service." |
