Will you be a mosquito’s next meal? Research has documented various reasons why some people are bothered more by mosquitoes than others. Factors such as how much you breathe and the carbon dioxide you emit during activity, how much you sweat (the acids you emit draw them to you like mom’s home cooking), what you’re wearing (contrasting colors help them spot you), your blood type (type O is their favorite), and what you drink such as a beer.

Severe Health Risks

Mosquito-borne diseases take the lives of over a million people a year. The severe health risks associated with mosquito bites include Zika, West Nile virus, Malaria, and other vector-borne diseases; as well as Lyme disease spread by ticks. Mosquito Squad of Tulsa combines specialized equipment with a proprietary blend registered by the Environmental Protection Agency that meets local and federal regulations to create their traditional barrier treatment while offering clients natural treatment options. “Our natural repellent is applied by trained technicians according to product label guidelines. Remarkably, its efficacy can extend up to 21 days, offering long-lasting peace of mind,” Matt expressed.

With an entomologist on-staff, Mosquito Squad of Tulsa also uses a comprehensive strategy that not only addresses current pest issues and stays ahead of potential outbreaks by staying up-to-date on pest control news.

Mosquito Squad’s Approach

“We want to be known as the best at what we do, which encourages us to hold ourselves to a high standard,” DeChaine said.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Do you treat vegetables, fruits or flowers?

Our technicians are trained to avoid these areas to avoid affecting pollinators and to ensure compliance with our products’ EPA labels. Mosquitoes like to hide in thick, shady, dense vegetation so we focus the majority of our treatment.

2. Can this harm beneficial insects like bees?

Safety and pollinator protection are top of mind at Mosquito Squad. All insecticides by design have the potential to impact insects, and bees are a type of insect. Mosquito Squad’s best-in-class training ensures all labels are followed, products are used sustainably, and established integrative pest management is implemented.

3. Do I need to be home?

You do not need to be at home as long as we can access the property. If you have a gate, it will need to be unlocked. Otherwise, we can take care of everything without you being there.

4. How does Mosquito Squad control mosquitoes and ticks? Does MS control other outdoor pests?

We treat the entire property, focusing on the standing vegetation along the perimeter and around your house or anywhere there is shade with conducive resting sites for adult mosquitoes. Additionally, we treat standing water along with areas where mosquitoes feed, breed and harbor to target the complete lifecycle of mosquitoes. Each treatment lasts approximately three weeks due to foliage growth, weather events, and degradation from sunlight. As a result, our technicians treat on a 21-day schedule when you begin in the spring.
