Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are a nuisance and a health hazard that can ruin outdoor activities and cause serious diseases. The mosquito is a common pest that can be found in almost every corner of the world. They are known for their annoying buzzing and biting, which can leave itchy, red bumps on the skin. Mosquitoes are also known to carry diseases such as Zika, West Nile, and malaria, which can be transmitted through their bites.

We offer effective mosquito control solutions to help you enjoy your outdoor spaces without the need to worry about these pesky insects. Our team of experienced professionals will work with you to create a customized plan that suits your needs and budget.

We have two methods available:

Misting with Backpack Blower

The backpack misting sprayer is a cutting-edge technology that allows us to apply insecticide to hard-to-reach areas like under decks, around pools, and in dense vegetation. This targeted approach ensures that the insecticide reaches every corner of your property, providing maximum coverage and effectiveness. Our experienced technicians will apply a fine mist of insecticide to your property, creating a barrier that will keep mosquitoes at bay for several weeks. Our mosquito control service is safe for both people and pets, as we use EPA-approved insecticides that are designed to break down quickly, leaving no harmful residues behind. Plus, our technicians are trained to apply the insecticide with precision, minimizing the amount of product used and reducing the impact on the environment.

Green Option: In2Care Mosquito Pots

What is In2Care?

Unlike conventional traps, the In2Care Mosquito Station is a system that uses mosquitoes to control mosquito populations effectively.

The Station targets the larvae and adult stages of Aedes (i.e., Yellow Fever and Asian Tiger mosquitoes) and Culex (i.e., Common House mosquitoes) two ways. It kills the larvae inside and around the Station and those beyond the yard. In addition, it kills the adult mosquitoes that entered the Station.

How does In2care work?

Female mosquitoes are attracted to the station where she lands on the netting that is floating above the water. After landing on the netting she gets a dose of the biocide powder. After laying eggs in the water she flies to other breeding sites where they become contaminated. She dies within a few days. The eggs in the water hatch but the larvae die before they pupate. This reduces the mosquito population.

FAQ’s

How does the Station attract mosquitoes?

The black color, design, water and our special organic odor lure will attract egg-laying females. The Station is designed to be attractive to Aedes mosquitoes in particular, who like laying eggs inside all types of artificial containers. Other mosquito species, such as Culex mosquitoes can also be attracted to lay eggs inside the trap.

I see a lot of living larvae in my Station, what does this mean?

The special larvicide in the trap kills mosquito larvae only at the moment they pupate. The larvae in the trap will therefore die right before they would otherwise emerge into adult mosquitoes. These dead pupae are often eaten by the larvae and you will not be able to see them in the water. Seeing a lot of live larvae inside the station thus does not mean it is not working. On the contrary, the larval odours actually make the trap even more attractive to egg-laying females.

I still get mosquito bites, does this mean the Station does not work properly?

The station does not target mosquitoes when they are in search of a bloodmeal. It is specifically designed for mosquitoes at the moment they are laying eggs. However, a high enough coverage of station in your area will cause a decrease in the amount of mosquitoes and will reduce the chance of disease. It will take some time to have the larvicide disseminated in the area and therefore a few (3-4) weeks a significant population impact can be expected.

What effect will the In2Care Mosquito Station have on my pets?

The active ingredients in our station are not toxic to birds or mammals. We make use of a biological fungus that is only toxic to insects. The larvicide deployed in the trap specifically targets mosquito larvae and is not toxic to higher organisms in this low concentration. For example, in other products this larvicide has even been approved by WHO for use in drinking water. Contaminated females will only spread tiny amounts of larvicide (a few micrograms) to other artificial small water bodies, which limits any risk for other aquatic organisms and fish.
