Mosquito Control
JEM pest management professional will complete a pest susceptibility report. This report is focused on reducing areas that mosquitoes use to reproduce. This includes removing standing water in your yard including non-draining gutters, pool covers and hot tubs that are not open for the season. The technician will point out and empty watering cans, flower pots, buckets, tin cans, wheelbarrows or any object that can collect water.
Once the inspection is completed Jem Pest Staff will treat high impact areas where mosquitoes are resting or staying cool. These products, either traditional pesticide or organic treatments are applied to wood lines, wood fences, shady lawn area, and ornamental plants as needed and are effective in mosquito and tick treatment. This treatment also has an insect growth regulator mixed in that will help prevent mosquito larva from moulting into adults. Insect growth regulators reduce the need of adulticides needed for mosquito control.
