Tick & Mosquito Control
In Barnstable MA

As the days grow longer and the temperature increases, outdoor occasions such as weddings, company picnics, and birthdays take center stage on our social calendar. The lush lawns, blooming flowers, and gentle breeze create a picturesque setting for these gatherings. However, an unwelcome visitor often interrupts the joy: the pesky mosquito.

Mosquitoes have the ability to transform a delightful outdoor event into a constant battle of swatting, leaving guests with itchy reminders of the special day. Besides being a nuisance, mosquitoes carry diseases such as Zika, West Nile virus, and malaria, posing a health risk to attendees. Therefore, it is essential to employ mosquito treatments for outdoor events. These treatments not only enhance the comfort and enjoyment of guests but also ensure their well-being.

One commonly used method by the mosquito treatment specialists at EcoGeek Pest Control is fogging or misting treatments. This technique disperses small droplets of a mosquito control product onto the leaves of plants and trees in the area, instantly killing adult mosquitoes upon contact. Our mosquito control services are particularly effective for large outdoor areas and can provide relief from mosquitoes for your entire event. Our Mosquito treatments are safe for guests.

Depending on the situation it may be appropriate to install mosquito traps around the event venue. These devices emit substances that imitate human breath and sweat, attracting mosquitoes and trapping them. Once the mosquitoes are lured into the trap, they are captured and killed. This method, used in conjunction with other treatments to provide comprehensive mosquito control.

Mosquito control isn't solely reliant on chemical methods. Our Barnstable mosquito control professional may also suggest environmental changes to make the event area less appealing to mosquitoes. This may involve eliminating standing water, utilizing fans (as mosquitoes are weak fliers), or introducing mosquito-repelling plants like citronella and lemongrass. We also work with event planners to develop a customized mosquito control plan, taking into account factors such as the size of the property, the presence of elements that may attract mosquitoes, and the location of the event.
