How does treatment work?

MosquitoRator applies a heavy barrier on the outside of your property as well as treating any foliage in the middle.  The invisible and odorless fence will stop mosquitoes coming from your neighbor’s property. Majority of the spray focus is in mosquito harborage areas such as lower tree leaves, hostas, arborvitaes, pine trees, and other vegetation around your yard. Harborage areas are where mosquitos are most happy living and can hang out in the cool shade and feed on nectar until they detect a blood meal. The application will immediately knock down all mosquitos and ticks and keep performing even with heavy rain up to 30 days.  MosquitoRator likes to see a 95% plus reduction of mosquitos on your property.

Are treatments a total elimination?

You can expect over 95% reduction of mosquitos on your property.  Because the spray is designed to leave a residue on the sprayed surfaces, it will remain effective over 30 days. Keep in mind that this is a contact killer, so the mosquitoes have to land on a sprayed surface in order to be killed.  Fortunately, mosquitos cannot and do not fly very far.  That is why we spray all of the areas that mosquitoes are likely to land on.  Typically they hang out on the bottom side of vegetation waiting for a nearby meal.

Will my mosquito treatment wash away if it rains after treatment?

No – the product we use is rain fast.  Meaning once dry, it is ready for rain.  MosquitoRator’s treatment is microencapsulated of all different sizes giving it a time release.  Rain helps the capsules open and perform over time.

How will I know when service is scheduled?

Watch out for a text message evening before.

Will mowing my grass affect mosquito treatment?

No – normal maintenance of grass will not affect treatment. Mosquitos typically do not harborage in grass.  Lawns typically are in the sun, hot, and has no nectar for feeding.  Therefore, grass is not the focus of application.   Results are achieved focusing treatment on mosquito harborage areas.

What if I live on the lake?

MosquitoRator has great solutions that are affective and safe for lakefront shorlines.

Does MosquitoRator charge additional to eliminate ticks on my Property?

No – Ticks are included with regular mosquito service at no additional cost.

Will mosquito service work on a small yard?

Yes, fortunately mosquitos cannot fly very far. You may find the occasional mosquito coming in from the neighbor’s yard on windy days, but once they land on a treated surface, they are eliminated. For maximum protection, we recommend talking with your neighbors about making their yard a mosquito free zone as well. Ask about our group neighbor discount.

Is it safe for my children and pets?

Yes. Once the spray has dried (usually 15 minutes), your children and pets can enjoy the yard safely and comfortably. The product we choose to use is a water-based formulation that is non-irritating, non-staining, and contains no odorous or plant-damaging solvents. It is EPA-registered and approved to control pests on residential, institutional, public, commercial, and industrial buildings, and lawns, ornamentals, parks, schools, restaurants, recreational areas, and athletic fields. It is even approved to use indoors!

What exactly does MosquitoRator spray?

Natural Pyrethrum, the most useful all around misting liquid available today. It is derived from the flowers of a plant in the chrysanthemum family the African Daisy. The spray is safe for kids and pets and is environmentally friendly.  Rosemary oil is used around lakefronts.  MosquitoRator uses 100% garlic on food gardens. Our larvicide is bacteria that grows on corn husks and only affects mosquito larva keeping our fish, birds, and frogs safe.

How often are Treatment?

Retreatments are scheduled for every 21 days weather pending.

Is the solution sprayed safe?

It is one of the safest misting liquids known, as it has a very low Mammalian toxicity. It is rapidly metabolized if accidentally swallowed by warm-blooded animals. Our product has been labeled, “caution” by the EPA, the EPA’s lowest label warning.  In fact, bug spray products containing DEET (which most do) have a much higher warning label than our product.  It’s safe for kids, safe for pets, and is environmentally friendly! 

Do I need to do anything before MosquitoRator treats my yard?
  • Watch for a notification text evening before treatment
  • Put all pets inside
  • Keep children inside during treatment
  • Resume normal use of yard once dry typically 15 minutes.
What if I have Dogs?

I have a food garden?

Although our main product is approved for food preparation areas, restaurants, and indoors.  We choose to use 100% Garlic on your food garden to keep it organic.  Mosquitos are over 10,000 times more sensitive to garlic than humans and it blocks your carbon dioxide and scent so they cannot find you.  

I have a pond/cattails on my property and concerned about mosquito larva?

MosquitoRator has solutions for every breeding ground situation.  Our treatments include over 10 different solutions, so you are covered no matter what the situation. Sometimes we use pellets the same as the helicopters drop. Other situations call for mosquito dunks or a pupaside the kill the baby mosquitos.  But during your service we will adulticide as well as larvicide to yield the results we demand.
