Mosquito Control Dumfries
Dumfires is the oldest continuously charted township in Virginia, and is located not far from Washington DC which makes it a good place to buy a home and commute. Dumfries still has a small population of just 5,912, but the town itself is small covering just over 1.6 miles. Dumfries was port town for the tobacco trade, and you can still visit the Henderson House and Weems-Botts Museum which both focus on the time when Dumfries was the most prosperous. Dumfries has a number of surrounding wetlands as well as the nearby Quantico Creek, and these areas provide ample areas for mosquitoes to breed. The mosquitoes and other insects thrive around water and the type of hot summer days which can make summers perfect for mosquitoes to breed. Add in the regular rainfall and you have a haven for a thriving mosquito population, which also opens up the potential for dangerous diseases like West Nile virus which was reported in Fairfax. Many Dumfries homeowners and businesses prefer to use a professional mosquito control company like Mosquito Tek that can completely exterminate mosquitoes on their property without needing to worry about using mosquito repellent every time they go outdoors.
Eliminate Mosquitoes Where they Breed
Mosquito Tek takes a two-fold approach to exterminating mosquitoes. The first step is to identify breeding areas and look for containers or debris that may be gathering water and empty it, and also identify where water collects naturally so the mosquito technician can use larvicide to prevent the larvae from growing into adult mosquitoes. Once the breeding areas have been addressed, a barrier spray treatment is applied to wipe out all of the adult mosquitoes on your property.
Conventional and Organic Mosquito Treatments
Customers have two highly effective, yet safe mosquito treatment options they can choose from. Since each situation is unique, and you can talk to your technician about which option is best for you, but you can rest assured that both will effectively eliminate mosquitoes on your property.
- In worse case scenarios where mosquito infestations are heaviest, customers prefer the strong conventional mosquito spray that will last up to 21 days, and uses Talstar, which is a full-strength commercial grade insecticide that has the best knockdown of mosquitoes on the market.
- The organic mosquito control option uses Essentria, which effectively eliminates mosquitoes for up to 14 days while still being safe to use around organic gardens, and since it’s all-natural it won’t harm the environment or your local wildlife. Essentria is NOP compliant and also popular for businesses such as restaurants with outdoor dining.
Affordable Tick Control Options
As an added value to customers, Mosquito Tek offers an affordable tick control upgrade option as part of each mosquito control package. This additional benefit will protect your family and pets safe from ticks, and prevent the potential for diseases like Cat Scratch fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease. Each tick control treatment is available either as an upgrade to the mosquito control service, or it can be purchased individually.
