How Often Should Treatments Be Done?
Here in Alabama, you will definitely need to treat for mosquitos more frequently because of the heat, humidity, and rainfall. Mosquitos thrive in areas with standing water, plenty of shade, and warmer temperatures. We recommend treating for them from the time the temperatures start rising (March or April) all the way through the warmer months (sometimes as late as November).
During your property evaluation, our team of trusted pest control technicians will create a comprehensive treatment plan. Part of this plan will be creating a regular treatment schedule to ensure your home is protected.
