I’m here today with Carly Kylie, my Orkin representative, who takes care of the mosquitoes in our yard. She has great information that homeowners can take advantage of.
Carly first took us around the perimeter of the yard with a mister containing pesticides to target the places where mosquitoes like to stay. She uses two kinds of pesticides to accomplish this: Talstar, which kills mosquitoes on contact, and Nygard, which disrupts the development of the mosquitoes’ growing larvae.
“
We’ve definitely enjoyed what Orkin has provided.
”
She recommends that during this process, people and pets should be kept inside for at least a half-hour until the products are dry. The chemicals are meant to stay on the vegetation, but if it’s too windy outside, they won’t be able to apply them since the mists will be blown around. The pesticides, which break down over time, last up to two months.
After using this treatment, we can sit out on our deck and stay mosquito-free until around 10:30 p.m. We even have a pond on our property, which is likely a mosquito-magnet. With no major health concerns, we’ve definitely enjoyed what Orkin has provided.
