Traditional Mosquito Control in Massachusetts & New Hampshire

Making Your Massachusetts Or New Hampshire Yard Enjoyable AgaiN

New England summers are hard to beat. It gets hot, but not too hot for too long, and the evenings almost always cool off just enough to be as close to perfect as can be. Plus, our long, cold winters help us enjoy our summers more because we know they won't last forever.

However, it can be hard to enjoy summer when your yard is full of mosquitoes. Just as the sun starts to set, you get home from work, and the temperature is just right for spending time in your backyard, the mosquitoes come out in droves. You can stay outside to try to relax, but you're likely to end up with dozens of itchy bites, some of which could cause illness.

If you're sick of fighting mosquitoes for control of your Peabody, Massachusetts or Derry, New Hampshire yard, it's time to call Mosquito Busters. We are experts on mosquito biology and behavior and offer professional mosquito control services that will let you get back outside again without having to fight with pesky, biting insects. Tick control is included at no additional cost for mosquito control customers.

How to Get Rid of Mosquitos

Getting rid of mosquitoes can be challenging, but there are several strategies you can employ to reduce their numbers and minimize their impact:

  • Remove Standing Water: Eliminate stagnant water sources.
  • Use Mosquito Repellents: Apply repellents containing DEET or picaridin.
  • Install Screens: Ensure windows and doors have screens.
  • Use Mosquito Nets: Sleep under nets to prevent mosquito bites.
  • Mosquito Traps: Set up traps to capture and kill mosquitoes.
  • Mosquito Dunks: Use larvicides in standing water to kill larvae.
  • Natural Predators: Introduce predators like dragonflies or fish.
  • Maintain Yard: Keep lawn and garden well-maintained.
  • Avoid Dusk and Dawn: Limit outdoor activities during peak mosquito activity times.
  • Use Mosquito-Repelling Plants: Plant citronella, lavender, or marigolds.
  • Professional Pest Control: Consider hiring pest control services for severe infestations.

These steps combined can help reduce mosquito populations effectively.

Mosquito Control From Mosquito Busters

It begins with one of our Mosquito Busters coming out to inspect your yard for key mosquito breeding areas and resting spots. We'll look at shrubs, fences, wooded areas, shade, swampy land, areas under decks, and ornamental plants that offer cool, dark spaces between their leaves.

Our Buster will also point out places where you're collecting water (like garden watering cans, wheelbarrows, and recycling containers) because they're like hotel pools in the mosquito world. Adult female mosquitoes are drawn to them because they provide the standing water necessary to lay and hatch eggs. By emptying these areas of water, you can help reduce the mosquito populations on your property.

The next step in our mosquito control process is to apply one of our proven mosquito control methods to create a barrier around your yard, reducing the mosquito's desire to reproduce or hang out on your property. This process will also take care of any existing larvae (yuck!) so that new mosquitoes don't hatch just a few days after treatment. We offer traditional and all-natural treatment methods and will discuss the benefits of each so that you can make the right choice for your property.

Finally, we will treat standing water with BTI, a bacteria that infects and kills only mosquito larvae and their close relatives like gnats and black flies. BTI does not harm other kinds of insects, fish, birds, worms, or any mammals, but we can skip this part if you prefer not to use it.

Follow-up treatments performed every three weeks during mosquito season will keep your yard a pleasant and healthier place to spend time all summer long.
