On average, our mosquito control service lasts 3-4 weeks. Naturally, this is dependent on how frequently it rains and which treatment option you choose. To keep your family safe from mosquitoes throughout the summer, we recommend scheduling your treatments every 21 days.

Our mosquito control service is provided by highly trained experts who adhere to industry-standard safety measures to assure the safety of your family and pets before, during, and after the treatment. We also utilise a special drug that does not harm aquatic life and protects plants.

Before stepping outside after we’ve sprayed your yard for mosquitoes, make sure the product is totally dry. We advise waiting for about 30 minutes, depending on multiple of factors such as external temperatures and humidity. After this, you and your family are safe to use your patio, swimming pool, and yard again.

Mosquitoes lay their eggs on the water’s surface while growing in still or slow-moving water; they can lay between 100 and 400 eggs at a time. These eggs hatch into larvae that look like tiny worms within two days. When the temperature is right (between 22°C and 27°C), the transformation from egg to adult takes as little as ten days.

In summer, male mosquitoes only live a few days, but their female counterparts have a lifespan of about three weeks. As adults, some Canadian species hibernate, allowing them to live up to nine months.

• Sweat: Mosquitoes require water to reproduce and are therefore naturally attracted to humid areas. Sweat is one of the top mosquito attractants.
• Potassium and Salt: Humans release salt, potassium, and lactic acid, which attract mosquitoes. You can avoid mosquito bites by avoiding salty, potassium-rich foods like bananas, avocados, and dried fruit in mosquito season.
• Perfume: The most attractive scents to mosquitoes are floral scents.
• Drinking Alcohol: Alcohol increases body temperature and can serve as a mosquito attractant. Alcohol may also cause your skin to release chemicals that attract mosquitoes.
• Blood Type: It is believed that genetics and blood type play a role in attracting mosquitoes. According to some studies, people with Type O blood tend to attract more mosquitoes.
• Pregnancy: Mosquitoes are highly attracted to carbon dioxide. As pregnant women exhale more carbon dioxide than others, run higher body temperatures, and circulate more blood than others, they make excellent targets for mosquito bites.

Mosquito bites can lead to various diseases, including malaria and Zika. In Canada, the West Nile virus poses a threat. Despite the low risk of catching the illness or suffering from severe health hazards associated with it, mosquito bites can prove to be painful and itchy.

Usually, we can provide same-day extermination services in Toronto. We know how aggravating mosquitoes can be, so we strive to treat homes within 24 hours in our service area. We can spray your yard once for a special event or on an ongoing basis for season long-term protection. To schedule your mosquito control service, please call 416-319-5880 today!
