Question 1

HOW DO TREATMENT PLANS WORK?

Accepted Answer

Johnson Mosquito proudly provides a full-service, integrated mosquito management plan that attacks mosquitos at all stages of their life-cycle with a variety of different tactics. Source reduction is the first step with any new property, which includes eliminating existing breeding sites and identifying problem areas. Next, a standard mosquito treatment includes a specialized spray that creates a barrier around your property, as well as treating foliage within it. The spray is focused on mosquito harborage areas, which includes vegetation around your yard, and is designed to kill adult mosquitos, both on contact and residually. Lastly, it's equally important to control immature mosquitos (larvae) before they emerge from a breeding site. Larviciding is included in a standard mosquito treatment and can be installed using multiple different application methods.

Question 2

IS IT SAFE FOR MY CHILDREN AND PETS FOLLOWING TREATMENT?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once the spray has dried, typically within 15-30 minutes, your children and pets can safely enjoy the space.

Question 3

WHEN DO TREATMENTS START/END AND HOW FREQUENT ARE RETREATMENTS?

Accepted Answer

Exact start and end dates vary year-to-year depending on the weather and change of seasons. Typically, treatments start in early-mid May and end in mid-late September. Retreatments occur monthly, weather pending.

Question 4

HOW CAN THE RAIN AND WIND AFFECT TREATMENTS?

Accepted Answer

The main products applied are rainfast (resistant to rainfall) after 2-4 hours and safe to spray in wind speeds up to 10 mph. If rain or high winds are in the forecast, your treatment will be rescheduled.

Question 5

DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING PRIOR TO TREATMENTS?

Accepted Answer

Watch for the confirmation text the evening before treatment. Close your windows and doors before treatment. Keep children and pets inside during and approximately 15-30 minutes after treatment.
