Better Termite & Pest Control has been serving the community since 1968, bringing third-generation Schulz family expertise to your yard protection needs. Our Clifton mosquito control programs use comprehensive barrier treatments combined with growth regulators to create an effective defense against mosquito activity.
We offer flexible treatment options including traditional spray applications and our eco-friendly In2Care system. Each program includes free unlimited callbacks until your property reaches baseline comfort levels. Additionally, we never lock you into binding contracts – you can cancel with just 30 days’ notice.
Our mosquito management approach targets both adult mosquitoes and their breeding cycles. This dual strategy ensures longer-lasting results and better overall yard protection for your family’s outdoor enjoyment.
Our Clifton mosquito services begin with a thorough on-site inspection to identify mosquito resting areas and potential breeding spots around your property. Licensed technicians examine shaded foliage, water retention areas, and common mosquito harborage zones.
Using targeted backpack sprayer applications, we apply a specialized blend containing both adulticide for immediate knockdown and larvicide for long-term control. This treatment methodology focuses on areas where mosquitoes rest during daylight hours, including ivy patches, dense vegetation, and shaded lawn perimeters.
Our customized treatment schedule includes strategic follow-ups at one and three weeks after initial application. This timing ensures effective control by targeting newly emerged mosquitoes before they can establish breeding cycles on your property.
The In2Care Mosquito Control System represents an innovative, eco-friendly approach to mosquito management. These specialized stations contain a unique combination of larvicide and fungus that’s harmless to humans and pets but highly effective against mosquitoes.
Clifton In2Care stations are strategically placed in shaded zones where female mosquitoes naturally seek resting spots. When mosquitoes enter these stations, they contact treated gauze strips and become contaminated with the control agents.
The system works by turning mosquitoes into carriers. Female mosquitoes transfer these agents to other breeding sites throughout your neighborhood, creating a network effect that disrupts mosquito populations beyond just your property boundaries.
Our technicians place stations every 20 to 30 feet in shaded areas around your property perimeter. Female mosquitoes are attracted to these stations as ideal egg-laying sites.
As mosquitoes pick up larvicide and fungus on specially designed gauze strips, they inadvertently become delivery agents. They carry these control agents to other breeding sites, effectively disrupting the entire mosquito life cycle across a broader area.
March surge timing brings the first granular and barrier applications in ecotone areas where ticks are most active. This coincides with peak tick activity as temperatures begin warming.
April through October tick-focused topical sprays accompany mosquito visits for convenient, single-package protection. Our Clifton tick treatment emphasizes disease prevention against Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and other tick-borne diseases.
November brings a second granular application to knock down fall tick populations before they can overwinter. Bundling mosquito and tick surge treatments provides comprehensive yard protection with significant cost savings.
March granular applications target the spring tick surge when populations are most active and seeking blood meals. This timing is critical for effective population control.
May topical spray applications focus on vegetation and transition zones where ticks wait for hosts. These treatments complement the granular foundation.
November follow-up granular applications eliminate fall tick activity and reduce overwintering populations for next season’s prevention.
Clifton’s mosquito population primarily consists of Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito), Culex pipiens (house mosquito), and various floodwater species. Each species has distinct breeding preferences and activity patterns throughout the season.
The area’s wooded lots and rural character create ideal mosquito habitats. Common breeding hotspots include birdbaths, clogged gutters, decorative water features, and natural water retention areas common in Clifton’s landscape.
Our mosquito control programs specifically target these region-specific breeding patterns. We adjust treatment timing and methodology to address peak mosquito seasons and the unique environmental factors that make Clifton properties attractive to mosquito populations.
Step 1 involves a comprehensive property inspection where our registered technicians identify breeding sources and provide source-reduction recommendations. This inspection covers both obvious and hidden mosquito development sites around your property.
Step 2 includes the initial barrier spray application targeting foliage, areas under eaves, and lawn perimeter zones. Our mosquito inspection focuses on creating protective zones where your family spends time outdoors.
Step 3 brings a 30-day callback to monitor treatment effectiveness and retreat if needed. This Clifton treatment process includes unlimited free callbacks until you’re completely back to baseline comfort levels. Our follow-up schedule ensures continuous protection throughout the mosquito season.
Spring startup begins with granular applications and barrier sprays in March and April, targeting early-season mosquito development before populations surge. This proactive approach prevents establishment of breeding cycles.
Summer maintenance runs from April through October with monthly targeted sprays. During peak mosquito months, our seasonal mosquito control adapts to increased breeding activity and population density.
Fall wrap-up includes final granular applications in November to knock down late-season populations. Our Clifton mosquito season program adjusts treatments to match local breeding cycles and seasonal mosquito surge patterns.
March brings pre-season granular barrier applications targeting early tick populations and preparing for mosquito season. This foundational treatment sets the stage for successful seasonal control.
April through October features monthly targeted sprays focusing on mosquito resting areas and breeding prevention. Each treatment builds on previous applications for cumulative effectiveness.
November concludes with final granular knockdown applications to eliminate late-season populations and reduce overwintering mosquito numbers.
Our products have removed 9 of the harshest industry chemicals from our standard treatments. Every product we use is formulated with your household in mind and has passed through our internal research team.
Monthly service runs from April through October, with free callbacks available any time you notice mosquito activity between treatments.
We tackle Aedes albopictus, Culex pipiens, and floodwater species commonly found in Clifton’s wooded environment.
Begin treatments in early spring, typically March, before breeding cycles reach their peak activity levels.
Stations contaminate resting female mosquitoes with larvicide and fungus, which they then spread to breeding water sources throughout the area.
Yes, our licensed technicians provide same-week service when you call. No phone trees or long-term contracts required.
We target shaded foliage, ivy patches, gutters, birdbaths, lawn edges, decks, and patios where mosquitoes rest and breed.
Cancel with 30-day notice with no binding contracts or hidden fees. We believe in earning your business every month.
Expect 70 to 90 percent population knockdown within 24 hours, with full relief typically achieved by your second monthly visit.
