Reduce the Risk of Mosquito Borne Illnesses
Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance keeping you from enjoying your yard – they pose a threat to your family’s health. West Nile virus, Zika virus, encephalitis, dengue, malaria, and canine heart worm are several of the serious diseases transmitted by mosquitoes.
Reducing the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses requires a multi-faceted approach. Eliminating standing water and using topical repellants while outdoors are proven strategies. A mosquito control service works by targeting the entire mosquito life cycle – larvae through adult. Limiting the mosquito population significantly lowers the risk of common illnesses associated with mosquitoes.
Mosquito Control, Your Way
Bug Busters offers two mosquito reduction service plans. It is important to note that reduction, not elimination is the goal. This is because mosquitoes breed quickly and in great numbers. Mosquito control services, like those offered by Bug Busters, significantly reduce the number of mosquitoes in your yard – thus lowering the risk.
Mosquito Select is a traditional mosquito control service that involves the application of adulticide and larvicide at regular intervals. The Mosquito In2Care System (pictured below) uses mosquitoes (and their natural behavior) to reduce and control mosquito populations. In2Care effectively targets mosquitoes that transmit Dengue and Chikungunya virus with minimal disruption to your business. It is an ideal mosquito control solution for eco-conscious homeowners who also want to protect their family’s health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mosquitoes
-
Q: How do you know if mosquitoes are carrying a disease?
A: It’s impossible to tell. Personal precautions, such as over-the-counter repellents are recommended. Professional management methods include two distinct control agents: adulticides, which kill adult mosquitoes, and larvicides, which prevent larval mosquitoes from becoming breeding, biting adults.
-
Q: How do the products we use reduce mosquito populations?
A: We treat the landscaping and foundation around the property with a residual adulticide to help reduce the population of mosquitoes in their resting sites. When necessary, we treat mosquito breeding sites on the property to help prevent mosquito larvae from developing into adults.
-
Q: Will treatments totally eliminate the mosquitoes on my property?
A: While treatment is intended to help reduce the mosquito population on your property, our program will not totally eliminate mosquitoes. Bug Busters’ Mosquito Management Program is intended to help reduce the breeding and resting sites of mosquitoes around your property, thus reducing, but not eliminating, the likelihood of being bitten by mosquitoes.
The Bug Busters’ Mosquito Management Program is a proactive approach rather than a reactive approach in the reduction of mosquito breeding and resting sites.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Mike IS wonderful. He will come out multiple times in the same week if needed. My daughter got married last may, and we had the rehearsal dinner (for 50) at our house. Two weeks before the dinner, ants showed up in the kitchen. Mike kept coming out till they were all gone. He was a lifesaver.
