Picture this: You've got your home locked down like a fortress—sprinkler systems keeping the lawn lush, smoke detectors on high alert, a top-notch security setup with cameras watching every corner. But step outside into your backyard, and suddenly it's a different story. What about those pesky mosquitoes turning your barbecue into a bloodbath or, worse, carrying nasty diseases? Yeah, that's where things get real.

At Mosquito Elite, we've seen it all. Mosquitoes aren't just annoying little buzzers that leave you scratching for days—they're sneaky carriers of serious stuff like West Nile virus and Zika. One bite, and your outdoor oasis turns into a health hazard. That's why adding mosquito control to your property's defense plan isn't just smart; it's essential. We're talking full coverage, inside and out, so you, your family, and your buddies can actually enjoy that patio without playing defense against a swarm.

The Sneaky 21-Day Mosquito Hustle

Here's the deal: Effective mosquito control boils down to outsmarting their life cycle, which clocks in at about three weeks—21 days from squirmy larva to full-grown, blood-sucking adult. You probably know they love breeding in water, but get this: It doesn't take a pond or a puddle. We're talking tiny spots, like the water trapped in a forgotten bottle cap or a clogged gutter. Crazy, right? Those overlooked nooks can crank out a whole new generation of biters before you even notice.

So, how do we fight back? It starts with the basics, but trust me, it's more than a quick spray and pray.

Step 1: Hunt Down and Dump That Standing Water

First things first—scour your yard for any water that's just hanging around. Mosquitoes are opportunists; they'll turn the smallest puddle into a nursery. Flip over those flower pots, clear out birdbaths if they're not in use, and make sure your gutters are flowing free. It's like detective work, but for bugs. Skip this, and you're basically rolling out the red carpet for them.

Step 2: Build That Invisible Force Field

Once the water's gone, we layer on a barrier treatment around your property's edges. This isn't some generic bug spray—it's targeted to zap adult mosquitoes on contact, stop them from chilling in your bushes, and block new ones from crashing the party. Think of it as an invisible shield that keeps your yard bite-free.

Why We Can't Just Do It Once and Call It Good

Look, I'd love to tell you there's a magic one-and-done solution, but mosquitoes don't play fair. Their 21-day cycle means new batches are always hatching if conditions are right. That's why we swing by every three weeks: We double-check for any sneaky water spots we might've missed, refresh that barrier, and make sure no wanderers from the neighbor's yard are setting up shop.

It's ongoing, yeah, but it's worth it. Stick with the rhythm of their life cycle, and you'll reclaim your backyard for good. No more slapping at your neck during sunset drinks or worrying about what those bites might bring. At Mosquito Elite, we're all about making your outdoor space safe and fun again—because life's too short to share it with mosquitoes. Ready to get started? Give us a shout!

Mosquitoes can be a real pain, especially during the summer months. When it comes rain, it's natural to be concerned about the impact it might have on the products we have applied to your property.

At Mosquito Elite we understand that it will most likely rain between your 21 day treatment window. Thats why we have different treatment applications based on the time of year and weather patterns. Our products combinations are designed to dry quickly and STAY PUT despite the rain. We target special areas like undersides of leaves, decks, fences, etc. where rain is less likely to fall, so you should be fine to be outside once the rain stops. You can trust that the product will not be affected by the rain. As long as your application is given proper time to dry (15-30 minutes depending on weather) your treatment will be protected from the elements.

You may see some increased activity immediately after the rain, but this is normal. Just remember that mosquito eggs need water to hatch, so after a rain their will be a whole new population out and about. No worries though, If you find that the mosquito population is getting beyond comfort levels, we offer a No Fly Zone guarantee and will get out to take care of the problem for you.

Here are some things we want you to keep in mind about the rain and what we do.

We know that that our products are built to withstand the rain as long as it has enough time to dry. If we feel that we can treat with confidence, we will go ahead and do so.

When we treat we are eliminating the current population as well as preventing a new population from moving in.

Our Target areas are areas protected from most rain.

Our Technicians take pride in their work. They know that with our guarantee in place, you can call us up for a complementary treatment should you need to at no cost to you.

We pay our technicians and pay for the product and we don’t want to waste our time and money when we don’t have to. That’s just not good business.

If we ever do come out and the rains do fall before the product dries, we are proactive and already looking to schedule a time to come back out.

Our main focus is satisfied customers. We want you happy with us so that you will keep coming back and refer us to your friends and neighbors. You hired us because we are the best in the business and we take that very seriously. We know what our products can do and stand behind our service 100%.

Now, unlike our friends up north, we in the southern regions have the "luxury" of dealing with mosquitoes year-round. That's where Mosquito Elite comes in, ready to protect your yard and keep these buzzing foes at bay throughout every season. So, whether it's a sweltering summer or a chilly winter, we've got your back.
