    Frequently Asked Questions

    01. What other insects will this affect?
    We use a control product so other insects present when and where we spray may be impacted.

    However, our formula was specifically engineered for mosquitoes so it won’t repel any other insects as it does mosquitoes.
    02. Will your product work after storms?
    Yes, we have specifically engineered our formula to outlast storms. With a special polymer layer that provides weather resistance, our formula will remain effective.
    03. Is there any environment you cannot treat?
    Yes, there are some areas we won’t spray to avoid the surrounding environments. Pools, natural water sources, vegetable gardens, and artificial water sources complete the list.

    Because water could easily spread the insecticides, we never directly apply our product to it. However, the rest of the property can still be sprayed and it will drastically reduce the population of mosquitoes.
    04. Does this product work on all mosquitoes and ticks ?
    Yes, we target aspects of mosquitoes and ticks that don’t change from species to species.

    The killing and repelling aspects of our product will work on any species of mosquitoes and ticks .
    05. 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.
    06. When can I start to see the effects?
    Every yard is different but you should notice a dramatic reduction within 24-48 hours of the initial spray.

    With each subsequent treatment, the results continue to improve, allowing you to enjoy time outside without being chased in by swarms of mosquitoes.
    07. Why do we see more mosquitoes after it has rained?
    Mosquitoes are more abundant after it rains because standing water is where they breed.

    Adult, female mosquitoes will lay their eggs in water. Once fully submerged, the countdown begins and the eggs can hatch in as little as a few days.
