What exactly are mosquito control service companies doing when they fog your property?
Killing mosquitos of course!...but there's more to it than that.
In previous videos we have established the importance of eliminating mosquito breeding grounds. That is the most important step.
After that, you need to eliminate mosquito resting grounds, and that is where the fogging comes into play.
As you probably know, mosquitos are most active in mornings and evenings. During the day, they will find cool places to rest such as shrubs, trees, under decks, eaves etc.
The fogging applications kill the resting mosquitos, and they typically have about a 30 day residual to keep mosquitos from returning to those resting areas.
These applications, coupled with eliminating breeding grounds, are the most effective way to significantly reduce the mosquito population on your property.
