Imagine your yard alive with pollinators: bumblebees visiting coneflowers at first light, monarch butterflies drifting through milkweed at noon. But when dusk arrives, swarms of mosquitoes turn your outdoor refuge into an uncomfortable trap. You want to regain your evenings without eliminating all beneficial insects. Our pollinator-safe mosquito control achieves that balance through precise timing, science-backed product selection, and application methods that spare bees and butterflies.
Our Pollinator-Safe Mosquito Control System
- Larvicide + Adulticide Combination
We start by targeting larval breeding sites—birdbaths, plant saucers, stagnant water—with an EPA-registered larvicide that halts mosquito development at its source. Immediately after, we apply a low‑toxicity, fast-degrading adulticide barrier spray to foliage and shaded resting areas. This two-pronged approach interrupts the mosquito life cycle while preserving daytime pollinator activity. - Barrier Spray Timing & Technique
Applications occur after sunset under calm conditions to avoid drift into flowering plants. We use low-pressure nozzles and drift control agents, focusing on leaf undersides and shaded refuges, and avoiding open blooms to protect beneficial insects.
Treatments provide up to 21 days of residual protection, reducing adult mosquito populations by over 85% in treated zones. All products are approved by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and applied in compliance with label instructions.
Seasonal Maintenance Plans
- Regular Follow-Up Treatments: We recommend scheduling barrier sprays and larvicide applications every 21 days during Michigan’s peak mosquito season to maintain continuous protection.
- Customized Service Intervals: Based on your property’s roofline, landscaping density, and water features, we tailor treatment frequency to address hotspots and minimize mosquito resurgence.
Safety and Environmental Stewardship
- Child & Pet Safe: Our barrier sprays dry within 60–90 minutes, after which areas are safe for children and pets to re-enter without risk.
- Biodegradable Focus: We prioritize products that break down quickly, reducing environmental persistence and supporting ecosystem health.
- No Open Burning: We never recommend backyard burning of yard waste or brush, as it can aerosolize urushiol and endanger both plant and animal life.
DIY Enhancements Between Visits
While professional treatments are the most effective defense, you can boost results by:
- Eliminating Standing Water: Check plant pots, gutter downspouts, and kiddie pools weekly to remove breeding sites.
- Mowing & Pruning: Trim grass and clear dense underbrush at midday to minimize mosquito resting areas and promote airflow.
- Plant Placement: Position native pollinator-friendly blooms—like black-eyed Susans, bee balm, and lavender—several feet away from patios and doorways.
Why Ditch the Itch Delivers Results
- Local Expertise: Serving Michigan neighborhoods since 2015, our technicians know local mosquito species and habitats.
- Data-Driven Adjustments: We track treatment outcomes and adjust product choices and intervals based on on-site observations and seasonal trends.
- Transparent Reporting: After each service, you receive a digital report detailing areas treated, products used, weather conditions, and recommended next steps.
