    West Michigan Mosquito Control: What You Need to Know

    How does Michigan’s weather affect mosquito control treatments?
    Michigan’s often humid climate and frequent storms create ideal conditions for mosquitoes. Our treatments are formulated to withstand these weather patterns, providing lasting protection even after heavy rain.
    Why are mosquitoes more of a problem in Michigan?
    Michigan’s abundant bodies of water make it a prime breeding ground for mosquitoes. The state features a lot of various bodies of water, swamp-like areas and dense foliage. Our treatments help manage mosquito populations by targeting the specific conditions that encourage their growth.
    Does the treatment work on all mosquito species found in Michigan?
    Yes, our mosquito control solutions are designed to be effective across various species common in Michigan, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
    How soon can I see a reduction in mosquitoes after the treatment?
    Results vary depending on the amount of foliage. We ask that you give a treatment 24-48 hours to achieve the max results.
    What should I do if it rains shortly after a treatment?
    Michigan’s frequent rain won’t significantly impact the effectiveness of our mosquito control. Our formula includes weather-resistant properties, allowing it to remain effective even after rainfall.
    What about my children and pets?
    Pets and children should be inside during each application. However, they can re-enter the property once the product has dried, roughly 10-15 minutes. At that point, there are no restrictions until the next application.
    Why do I see more mosquitoes after rainstorms?
    Rainstorms in Michigan often create standing water, which provides an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. Our treatments target these areas to reduce mosquito populations effectively.
