How To Get Rid of Mosquitoes in Eau Claire

Are you looking for tips on how to get rid of mosquitoes from your Eau Claire property? At Mosquito Hunters , we don’t just provide mosquito treatments. We also offer support, tips, and suggestions for Eau Claire area families who want to know how to get rid of mosquitoes. Eau Claire County’s hot summers provide an ideal breeding ground for insects like mosquitoes. Our experts have been waging war on these pesky little bugs across Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Hudson, New Richmond, and Menomonie. We know that mosquitoes aren’t just unpleasant and irritating, but also a serious health risk.

4 Tips on How To Get Rid of Mosquitoes in Eau Claire

Want to know how to get rid of mosquitoes from your Eau Claire property? Here are four tips and tricks from around the region:

  • Reducing mosquito cover. One of the most effective ways to reduce your mosquito population is by giving them less cover to hide in. Trimming shrubbery and grass plants means that mosquitoes will have less shade to protect themselves during hot days. Removing stagnant water in puddles, barrels, birdbaths, and elsewhere means female mosquitoes won’t have a safe place to lay their eggs.
  • Lemon eucalyptus oil. This all-natural ingredient has the honor of being recommended by the CDC as effective mosquito control. Look for products with this item in it, but be warned that the pure oil itself won’t act as an effective repellent. Products with lemon eucalyptus oil can give your skin significant cover from mosquitoes for up to approximately three hours.
  • Repellents with DEET or Picaridin. If you’re looking for how to get rid of mosquitoes for more than three hours in Eau Claire, repellents with DEET and Picaridin are highly effective. These chemicals don’t kill mosquitoes, but they confuse mosquitoes enough to drive them away. When applied, these repellents are proven to keep most mosquitoes away for up to seven hours.
  • Mosquito treatments. You’ll notice that most solutions for how to get rid of mosquitoes in Eau Claire are short-lived. For a longer-lasting, powerful approach, try mosquito spray treatments from Mosquito Hunters. These treatments give your home protection from mosquitoes for 21 days, reducing your mosquito populations. They also target ticks and other bloodthirsty insects.

Our village has a mosquito truck come through and spray from the street; what makes your service better?

Our treatments are tailored specifically for your property. On foot, our technicians walk your property to apply with a methodology specific to your outdoor space. On the other hand, a mosquito truck sprays a dense fog from the street, intending to eradicate adult mosquitoes, but their service can only reach pockets of infested areas in close proximity to the truck. In many cases, the backyard mosquitoes are left unfazed. We make your backyard our main mosquito hunting area!

How much does mosquito control cost

Pricing is mostly contingent on the size of your property and how many treatments you would like to receive. Each property is unique and we customize each barrier to successfully treat your mosquito problem. Please call us for a free quote at any time. Normally, we don’t even need to visit your property – our agents will be able to look your property address using our computer program and verify your property size for an accurate quote.

Is there an all-natural treatment option?

Yes. Many of our all-natural treatments contain various essential oils like lemongrass, cedarwood, rosemary, cinnamon, and garlic. Some ingredients will work to kill mosquitoes instantly while others have a repellant effect, keeping mosquitoes from finding the humans and pets spending time in your yard. We come out to re-apply every 2-3 weeks. With recent advances in natural product formulations, many of our all-natural customers experience results that are comparable to the results of our synthetic treatments.

Do you spray the grass?

Not normally, since mosquitoes do not typically use your grass as a resting area. The most common “hot spots” for hunting mosquitoes during the day include under the leaves of dense bushes and shrubs, underneath decks, and in damp shaded areas of the property. However, Mosquito Hunters does recommend that you keep your grass short during the mosquito season. In some special circumstances like large outdoor parties and weddings, we will spray the grass where your guests will be.

Does Mosquito Hunters service commercial accounts?

Yes, we do – usually at a discounted price. We provide protection for commercial accounts, including golf courses/driving ranges, pools, restaurants with outdoor seating, outdoor concert venues, playgrounds, and campgrounds, just to name a few. Ask us for details!

Does Mosquito Hunters service homeowners associations (HOAs)?

Indeed we do – often at a discount! On top of that, we provide significant savings for large groups of treatments. Ask us for details and we will be happy to give a presentation at your next board meeting.

Can I get just a one-time treatment for a special outdoor party, wedding, or reception?

Sure thing! We protect everything from weddings to backyard birthdays to family reunions. Ask us for details.

Can mosquito control treatments protect against the mosquitoes that carry West Nile Virus?

Yes. The best way to protect yourself and your family from West Nile Virus is to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home and neighborhood. This is exactly what we do.

Can mosquito control treatments protect against the mosquitoes that carry Zika Virus?

Yes. Regular barrier treatments can effectively kill and prevent mosquitoes, protecting you and your family from Zika Virus and other mosquito-borne illnesses.

What products are applied to my yard in a treatment ?

Our primary barrier treatment products are synthetic forms of pyrethrins called pyrethroids. Pyrethrins originate from the extract of chrysanthemum flowers. Pyrethroids are used in various household products including lice shampoos and pet shampoos and sprays. We spray this product on bushes and shrubs, mulch beds, low-hanging portions of your trees, etc. Since these products are derived from plants, they will not harm plants. The products break down naturally into harmless byproducts 21 days after application.

In addition to outdoor mosquito and tick control, pyrethroid based products like these are used in medications for head lice.

Does normal pest control get rid of mosquitoes? What makes your service different?

Mosquitoes are definitely a pest, but normal pest control doesn’t always target these biting bugs. Here at Mosquito Hunters, we’ve worked to perfect an environment, kid and pet friendly solution that specifically targets mosquitoes. Our barrier treatments also effectively get rid of ticks. Learn more here.

What happens if it rains after my yard has been treated?

As long as your yard has had sufficient time to dry afterwards (about 30 minutes), rain should not have a negative effect on the barrier treatment. However, our Hunters’ Happiness Promise ensures that if the quality of your barrier treatment is affected by rain, we will come back and re-treat at no additional cost.

Do you offer any kind of guarantee?

Yes. With our Hunters’ Happiness Promise, Mosquito Hunters offers a no-hassle satisfaction guarantee; if you aren’t fully satisfied for any reason, we will re-treat free of charge, no questions asked, no strings attached.

Will Mosquito Hunters eliminate all the mosquitoes and ticks on my property?

No service can provide 100% protection from every mosquito and tick but on average our service will reduce mosquitoes and ticks on your property.

Does someone need to be home for your treatments?

No. We will notify you at least 24 hours before your treatment. If you are home, we will check in and check out with you. Either way, we will leave notice that your yard has been protected by Mosquito Hunters.

How do your treatments continue to keep mosquitoes away for 21 days?

Mosquito Hunters provides multi-tiered methods of control and utilize the highest grade of microencapsulated products that release gradually over time. This ensures a complete 21 days of protection. Unlike temporary mosquito fogging or propane-based mosquito catchers, our fogging application sticks to the mosquito resting areas on your property and provides continuous elimination, guaranteed.

How long does a barrier treatment take to apply and how long will it last?

A Mosquito Hunters barrier treatment takes about 20 minutes to complete, on average. Larger yards may take longer to treat. Each treatment lasts approximately 21 days, at which time our team will be scheduled to treat your yard again. You, your family, and your pets should stay inside during the barrier treatment, but feel free to return to your outdoor fun after allowing 30 minutes for the treatment to dry. When dry, there is minimal opportunity for the product to transfer to people or pets who brush against the foliage.
