Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes can be found throughout the world.  In the U.S. alone, there are more than 200 different species.

 

Mosquitoes can surely ruin any outdoor event and their painful bites can leave lumps on your skin. Using a product such as Safer® Brand Mosquito, Flea & Tick Killer spray, you will be able to eliminate these annoying pests and enjoy your outdoor activity. 

 

 

 

 

Natural & Organic Controls

What?

Products such as Safer® Brand Mosquito, Flea & Tick Killer, Safer® Brand Bug Patrol and Safer® Brand Yard and Garden sprays are the best products available for effective mosquito control. Body repellents can only prevent mosquito bites for a few hours.

Safer® Brand Mosquito, Flea & Tick Killer

How?

Products such as Safer® Brand Mosquito, Flea & Tick Killer, Safer® Brand Bug Patrol and Safer® Brand Yard and Garden sprays are the organic equivalent of a 1-2 knock down punch. The soap will penetrate the insect's shell enough to weaken and dehydrate the insect and allow the pyrethrin to absorb in to the insect and do its job.

 

Pyrethrin is a powerful nerve agent and will paralyze and kill the insect on contact. Keep in mind this soap is not like dish detergent, it's a base from a blend of natural plant sources and pyrethrin oils and comes from the chrysanthemum flower. An effective and organic combination.......

 

When?

Spray either Safer® Brand Mosquito, Flea & Tick Killer, Safer® Brand Bug Patrol or Safer® Brand Yard and Garden spray as a contact killer for your entire lawn area. Use in accordance with directions on the product's label. 

Safer® Brand Bug Patrol

If you are concerned about your lawn or unsure of how it will react to these solutions, test an inconspicuous area and wait 24 hours before applying full coverage. As a general rule, much like watering, do not use any liquid insecticides in the peak of the day or when temperatures exceed 90°F.

 

Why Choose a Natural Solution?

Natural solutions break down quickly to their natural elements.  They are preferable to chemical pesticides that leave residuals where they are sprayed causing long-term detrimental affects on the environment.

 

 

 

 

Natural Predators

What?

bats prey on adult mosquitoes and mosquito larvae

Fish, dragonflies, birds, bats and diving beetles all prey on adult mosquitoes or mosquito larvae.

 

How?

Fish, diving beetles, and dragonfly nymphs feed on the larvae of the mosquitoes.  Birds, bats, and adult dragonflies feed on adult mosquitoes. 

 

When?

Before releasing any fish, contact your Fish and Game Commission or Wildlife authority to find out the rules regarding the fish.
