Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need treatment in California?

Most CA programs treat every 21-30 days through mosquito season - typically April-October. Heavier flight periods (after rain, in lush vegetation) sometimes warrant more frequent treatment. A seasonal plan with auto-scheduled visits is the most cost-effective approach.

Are mosquito treatments safe for pets and kids?

Modern pyrethroid-based treatments dry within 30 minutes and are safe for re-entry after that. Misting systems use diluted active ingredients. CA programs targeting yard mosquitoes don't typically present risk to pets, kids, or beneficial pollinators when applied per label.

Whole-yard fogging or targeted spray?

Targeted barrier treatments on vegetation where mosquitoes rest is more efficient than whole-yard fogging and uses less chemical. CA homeowners with significant vegetation, water features, or wooded perimeters benefit most from professional targeted treatments.
