That's right, we can get you back outside enjoying your backyard and patio during this early summer-like weather with a quick phone call and a mosquito control program sign-up. We will begin our first mosquito control spray mid-April, so in order to receive full value of our mosquito control service call the office at 847-395-0940 or visit mylawndoctorcustomer.com to sign-up now.
Our mosquito control spray program provides an industry-leading service by deploying licensed and trained technicians as well as EPA-registered insecticide and Illinois Dept. of Agriculture approved spraying procedures. Our water-based mosquito control product is sprayed onto all surfaces and has proven superior to the oil-based mist blown products being used by others in the industry. The pesticide we use is micro-encapsulated for up to eight weeks of residual control from all surfaces sprayed. While the mist-blown insecticides are effective while the product is suspended in the air or through the consumption of leaf material on which the product settles, you and your family are left vulnerable to bites and stings when gathered outdoors on your decks and patios while paying expensive fees for these blown-on services.
The mild winter and early summer weather will produce an unprecedented insect population this year, so don't blow your money and call Lawn Doctor today to begin winning the battle for your backyard against those annoying pests. Check out our specials on mosquito control on our website.
