How Our Kensington Mosquito Control Works

Our proven treatment methodology starts with a thorough property inspection to identify mosquito hot spots and breeding areas around your home. Our technicians use professional backpack sprayers to apply a targeted combination of adulticide and growth regulator to foliage, ivy patches, and shaded resting areas where mosquitoes spend their time.

The adulticide provides immediate population reduction, while the growth regulator disrupts the mosquito life cycle to prevent future generations. This dual approach creates a residual barrier that continues working between visits. Our four-step methodology includes the initial inspection, targeted application, monitoring, and follow-up visits until we achieve a solid baseline of control.

Mosquito treatments are applied monthly during peak season to maintain consistent protection. Because mosquito populations can fluctuate based on weather and breeding conditions, we’ll return for additional treatments at no charge if you experience any issues between scheduled visits.

In2Care Mosquito Control System

The In2Care Mosquito Control System represents a breakthrough in eco-minded mosquito management. These specialized stations are strategically placed in shaded rest sites around your property where mosquitoes naturally seek shelter during daylight hours.

When mosquitoes enter the stations, they contact a unique gauze strip treated with larvicide and a specific mosquito fungus. The brilliance of this system lies in its auto-dissemination approach – contaminated mosquitoes carry these biological agents to hidden breeding sites throughout your neighborhood, spreading control to areas traditional sprays can’t reach.

This innovative system complements our traditional spray treatments by targeting the mosquito lifecycle at multiple points. While conventional treatments focus on adult mosquitoes, In2Care stations work continuously to interrupt egg and larvae development in water sources you might never find.

How the In2Care System Works

The station contains fungi and larvicide that mosquitoes unknowingly transfer to breeding sites as they move between locations. This natural transfer mechanism means the treatment reaches storm drains, tree holes, and other hidden water sources where mosquitoes reproduce.

The system provides long-term population control by breaking the reproductive cycle rather than just killing adult mosquitoes. Additionally, it complements routine sprays by working 24/7 to reduce mosquito populations at their source.

Kensington Tick Treatment

March brings the first tick surge of the year, which is why we begin tick treatment with granular applications along the ecotone – the transition area between your maintained lawn and natural vegetation where ticks are most likely to encounter hosts.

From April through October, we apply topical sprays along yard margins and wooded borders to intercept ticks before they reach areas where your family spends time. These treatments target the specific zones where ticks naturally wait for passing hosts.

Our late-fall granular follow-up helps curb overwintering nymph populations that would otherwise emerge the following spring. This Lyme disease prevention strategy significantly reduces your exposure to tick-borne illnesses including Lyme disease and anaplasmosis.

Integrated pest management combines both mosquito and tick treatments in our LawnShield program, providing comprehensive yard protection with a single monthly service that addresses both pest problems efficiently.

Local Kensington Mosquito Control Insights

Kensington mosquitoes include several nuisance mosquitoes that make outdoor activities unpleasant during warmer months. The Asian Tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is particularly aggressive and bites during daylight hours, while Culex pipiens mosquitoes are most active around dusk and dawn.

Common local breeding sites include bird baths, clogged gutters, flower pot saucers, and any container that holds water for more than a few days. Even small amounts of standing water can support mosquito development, which is why our technicians conduct thorough property inspections to identify these problem areas.

Kensington yards typically experience seasonal surge patterns that begin in April and peak during the humid summer months. Our targeted response adjusts treatment intensity based on these natural population cycles to provide optimal control when you need it most.

Kensington Mosquito Control Treatment Process

Our comprehensive treatment process begins with a detailed property inspection to map mosquito activity patterns and identify breeding sites. During the application phase, our technicians use backpack sprayers to treat foliage, shaded areas, and vegetation where mosquitoes rest during the day.

We apply growth regulator treatments to areas with standing water to prevent larvae from developing into biting adults. Our residual barrier treatment creates lasting protection that continues working between monthly visits. After each service, you’ll receive a detailed post-service report outlining what was treated and any recommendations for reducing mosquito habitat.

We carefully avoid spraying blooming flowers and edible gardens to protect pollinators and maintain the health of your landscape. Because mosquito eradication requires consistent pressure on breeding populations, we offer free callbacks for touch-ups if you notice increased activity between scheduled treatments.

This systematic approach to follow-up ensures we maintain effective control throughout the mosquito season rather than just providing temporary relief.

Seasonal Kensington Mosquito Control

Seasonal mosquito control requires different strategies throughout the year to maintain effective population management. Our spring startup begins in April with pre-emergence barrier treatments applied before the first major hatch occurs, giving you a head start on mosquito season.

During summer maintenance, we provide monthly treatments during peak mosquito activity when breeding accelerates and populations reach their highest levels. These bi-monthly applications maintain the protective barrier and adjust to changing weather conditions that affect mosquito behavior.

Our fall wrap-up includes a final spray application designed to reduce overwintering populations and break the cycle for the following year. This late-season treatment targets the last generation of mosquitoes before cold weather arrives.

Year-round planning ensures uninterrupted yard enjoyment by staying ahead of mosquito population cycles. Because mosquito activity patterns shift with temperature and rainfall, our seasonal approach adapts to these natural changes for consistent results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the treatment pet and kid-friendly?

All the products we use are EPA approved and have passed through our internal research team. Each product is one we would feel comfortable using in our own homes. Our placement strategies minimize exposure by targeting areas where mosquitoes rest rather than where families spend time, and we avoid treating edible gardens and pollinator plants.

How often do you need to treat for mosquitoes?

We recommend monthly visits during peak mosquito season from April through October. This frequency maintains consistent population pressure and adapts to changing weather conditions that affect mosquito breeding cycles.

What types of mosquitoes do you control?

Our treatments target Aedes mosquitoes like the Asian Tiger mosquito that bite during daylight hours, Culex mosquitoes that are active around dusk and dawn, and other common backyard species that make outdoor activities unpleasant.

When is the best time to start mosquito control?

We recommend starting in early April before the first major brood emerges. This timing allows us to establish a protective barrier before mosquito populations build up and gives you immediate protection as outdoor activity increases.

How does the In2Care system work?

In2Care stations contain specially treated gauze that mosquitoes contact when seeking shelter. They carry larvicide and fungus to hidden breeding sites throughout the area, creating an auto-dissemination effect that reaches places traditional sprays cannot access.

Do you offer emergency mosquito treatments?

Yes, we provide unlimited callbacks at no extra charge if you experience mosquito activity between scheduled treatments. Our rapid-response approach ensures you get the protection you’re paying for throughout the entire season.

What areas do you treat on the property?

We focus on the yard perimeter, shaded foliage, ivy patches, areas with thick vegetation, and zones around water features where mosquitoes rest during the day. We also treat play areas and outdoor entertainment spaces while avoiding blooming flowers and edible plants.

Can I combine mosquito and tick control services?

Absolutely. Our LawnShield program combines both mosquito and tick treatments in a single monthly service with bundle pricing that saves money compared to separate programs. This integrated approach provides comprehensive yard protection with simplified scheduling and billing.
