Licensed Technician
The Schulz family has been protecting Gainesville homes from mosquitoes for 57 years, bringing three generations of experience to your backyard. Our registered technicians use research-backed products like Essentria and EcoVia that have passed through our internal research team’s rigorous testing process.
We’ve removed 9 harsh chemicals commonly used in our industry, choosing better alternatives that we’d feel comfortable using in our own homes. Each product is EPA approved and selected based on effectiveness rather than convenience. Additionally, every Gainesville mosquito control plan includes unlimited callbacks between scheduled visits because we stand behind our work.
Our no-contract flexibility means you can cancel anytime with 30 days notice if you’re not happy. Basically, we believe you should have the freedom to choose what works best for your family. Most importantly, our comprehensive mosquito management approach targets both adult mosquitoes and their breeding sites for long-term population control.
Our mosquito control process starts with a full-property inspection to identify mosquito hot spots and breeding areas around your home. Our licensed technicians look for standing water sources, shaded resting areas, and vegetation where mosquitoes typically gather during the day.
We apply a targeted adulticide knockdown treatment combined with an insect growth regulator to disrupt the mosquito lifecycle. Using a targeted backpack spray, we treat shaded foliage, ivy patches, and brush lines where mosquitoes rest between feeding. The foliage and brush treatment creates a protective barrier around your outdoor living spaces.
Additionally, our technicians provide standing water advice to help you eliminate breeding sites like clogged gutters, flower pot saucers, and low-lying areas. We schedule follow-up visits monthly throughout mosquito season to maintain consistent protection. Because mosquito populations can fluctuate based on weather and breeding cycles, this regular schedule ensures continuous relief.
The In2Care stations offer an innovative approach to mosquito control using a larvicide and fungus combination that mosquitoes carry to their breeding sites. This system works through auto-dispersal by mosquitoes themselves, creating a network effect that reaches areas traditional spraying might miss.
For homeowners seeking a minimal spray alternative, In2Care stations provide effective long-term population disruption without extensive chemical applications. The stations contain specially treated gauze that mosquitoes contact when they enter, picking up both larvicide and beneficial fungus that targets mosquito reproduction.
Basically, mosquitoes become unwitting carriers of population control agents. They transport these materials to standing water sources where other mosquitoes breed, effectively treating multiple breeding sites simultaneously. This approach is especially effective for properties with extensive landscaping or areas where traditional spraying presents challenges.
Our technicians strategically place In2Care stations in shaded locations around your property where mosquitoes naturally rest and seek shelter. The gauze replacement schedule follows a quarterly rotation to maintain active ingredients at peak effectiveness.
We monitor station performance regularly during monthly visits, checking consumption levels and replacing materials as needed. Each station covers approximately 4,000 square feet, so most Gainesville properties require 3-5 stations for complete coverage.
While mosquitoes get most of the attention, ticks pose serious disease risks in Gainesville. Our March granular application targets the spring tick surge when these pests emerge from winter dormancy most aggressively.
April through October topical sprays focus on the ecotone areas where your landscaping transitions to natural vegetation. These boundary zones are where ticks typically wait for hosts. Our November end-of-season treatment eliminates remaining adult ticks before they can overwinter successfully.
Lyme disease and tick-borne illness prevention drives our treatment timing and product selection. Because ticks can transmit diseases within hours of attachment, reducing contact opportunities becomes crucial for family protection.
Tick lifecycle patterns make early spring and late fall the most critical treatment windows. Disease risk peaks occur when ticks are most actively seeking hosts after dormant periods.
Environmental conditions during these transition months create ideal opportunities to disrupt tick populations before they become established in your landscape.
Gainesville’s clay-loam soil creates drainage issues that contribute to standing water problems throughout the growing season. The Aedes albopictus and Culex species are particularly prevalent in our area, with tiger mosquitoes being active during daylight hours.
Golf course irrigation runoff from nearby courses creates ideal breeding conditions in low-lying residential areas. Additionally, suburban container breeding sites like decorative pots, bird baths, and playground equipment collect rainwater that becomes mosquito nurseries.
Seasonal peak periods typically occur from late spring through early fall, with population surges following heavy rainfall events. Because of Gainesville’s rapid urbanization, disturbed soil and construction activities often create temporary water collection points that fuel mosquito reproduction.
Our comprehensive treatment process begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify active mosquito areas and potential breeding sites. We document problem areas and develop a targeted treatment plan specific to your landscape and mosquito pressure.
The barrier spray application focuses on vegetation, fence lines, and shaded areas where mosquitoes rest during the day. Our larvicide application targets known and potential breeding sites to prevent immature mosquitoes from developing into biting adults. We use products containing insect growth regulators that disrupt the mosquito lifecycle for extended control.
Following treatment, we provide habitat modification recommendations to help you eliminate conditions that attract mosquitoes. These might include improving drainage, maintaining gutters, or relocating decorative water features. Finally, our follow-up inspection and retreatment schedule ensures consistent protection throughout mosquito season.
Our streamlined process includes four key phases:
Our year-round protection plan starts in early spring before mosquito populations become established. Pre-season larvicide applications in March target overwintering eggs and early breeding activity before adult populations surge.
Peak-season adulticide treatments run monthly from April through October, coinciding with active mosquito periods. During summer months, we adjust treatment timing based on local weather patterns and mosquito pressure. Additionally, our late-season wrap-up in November addresses any remaining activity and prepares your property for winter.
Frequency adjustments by month ensure you receive appropriate coverage without over-treatment. Basically, spring and fall require lighter applications while summer months need more intensive coverage due to increased breeding activity.
Our treatment calendar follows Gainesville’s mosquito patterns:
Our product selection process prioritizes reduced-risk chemistry that has passed through our internal research team’s evaluation. We’ve eliminated 9 harsh chemicals commonly used in the industry, choosing alternatives like Essentria and EcoVia instead. All products are EPA approved and represent formulations we’d feel comfortable using in our own homes. If you’re ever concerned about treatment effectiveness, our unlimited callback program ensures we’ll return to retreat areas at no additional cost.
We recommend monthly visits during peak mosquito season from April through October for optimal protection. This frequency maintains effective barrier protection while targeting new generations of mosquitoes as they develop. During off-season months, quarterly check-ups help identify early activity and address any overwintering concerns. Additionally, your treatment schedule can be adjusted based on specific property conditions and mosquito pressure.
Our Gainesville mosquito control programs target Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquitoes) and Culex species that are most problematic in our area. Floodwater and container breeding species receive specific attention because they respond to different treatment approaches. Because some mosquitoes are active during daylight hours while others prefer evening feeding, our treatments address both day-biting and nocturnal species effectively.
Early spring scheduling before the first mosquito broods emerge gives you the best protection throughout the season. For Gainesville’s climate, April scheduling typically captures the beginning of serious mosquito activity while addressing early breeding sites. Starting early prevents population establishment rather than trying to control existing problems, which is always more challenging and less effective.
The In2Care system uses mosquito-carried larvicide and beneficial fungus that spreads naturally to breeding sites throughout your property. When mosquitoes enter the stations, they contact treated gauze and carry these materials to water sources where other mosquitoes breed. This creates dual adult and larval control through the mosquitoes’ own behavior, reaching breeding sites that traditional spraying might miss completely.
Our unlimited callback program for active plan customers provides rapid response visits at no extra cost whenever you experience mosquito activity between scheduled treatments. We’ll return to investigate the issue and provide additional treatment if needed. Because mosquito pressure can vary based on weather and local conditions, this callback system ensures your protection remains consistent throughout the season.
Our treatments focus on shaded foliage areas, ivy patches, and brush lines where mosquitoes rest during inactive periods. We treat perimeter foundation areas and vegetation close to your home where mosquitoes gather before seeking entry. Water features and areas prone to moisture retention receive targeted larvicide applications. Basically, we concentrate on mosquito highways and resting areas rather than treating your entire lawn surface.
Initial population reduction typically occurs within 24-48 hours as the adulticide component takes effect on existing adult mosquitoes. Full relief usually develops within 7-10 days as the treatment impacts the broader mosquito population and breeding cycle. Because mosquitoes have short lifecycles, you’ll continue to see improvement as new generations encounter the treatment barriers we’ve established.
Bundle and save options include combining mosquito control with our termite monitoring, tick treatment, and rodent prevention programs. This single-invoice convenience simplifies your pest management while providing comprehensive protection. Additionally, bundled services often qualify for reduced pricing compared to individual program costs, making comprehensive protection more affordable for Gainesville homeowners.
