In our area of Florida, mosquitoes are a prevalent annoyance, but their bite can also bring dangerous diseases. That’s why it’s important to keep these pests away from friends, family, customers, and others.
At S.O.S. Turf & Pest, we target areas these nasty bugs are known to breed with our effective fogger treatment that kills larvae and adults. We also provide flea and tick control for homes and businesses in Apollo Beach, Ruskin, Riverview, and the surrounding areas of Florida.
From June to November, we have a rainy season here in Florida. It also happens to be when mosquitoes are most active. Our trained pesticide applicators will come to your property and spray areas where the pests will be resting or breeding, such as plants where water collects in leaves. We also spray the plants around the perimeter of your building, as well as the gutters. We use organic products as much as possible, as well as a growth regulator product and a contact killer.
Our team members use foggers or blowers to distribute the mosquito control products as those produce smaller molecules that will stick to the leaf tissue, lasting longer and killing mosquito larvae as well. Generally, our treatments are done monthly, but we can do them year-round as well, depending on what works best for our customers.
We also spray properties for outside events and will spray a week ahead of the event to help get rid of mosquitoes.
Besides their painful, itchy bite, mosquitoes also harbor other dangers to humans and animals and thus should be removed from your property as much as possible. Mosquitoes carry some diseases that can cause undesirable symptoms and in rare cases, can be fatal. Potential diseases that mosquito bites can carry include West Nile virus, Zika virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and more.
Symptoms of West Nile include fever, headache, body aches, skin rash, and more. Zika virus can be invisible in most people but poses a danger to pregnant women as it can cause birth defects. Eastern Equine Encephalitis can quickly attack a person, causing brain swelling, and in some cases, can be fatal.
Fleas and ticks are other nuisance pests that can attack your pets, your family, and others. A flea bite is itchy for humans but can cause further complications for animals. A tick bite can lead to diseases such as Lyme disease, so it’s important to get these pests out of your property. Their presence is usually controlled with a yard insecticide, but an infestation requires more aggressive treatment. For flea and tick infestations, we spray a heavy shot of insecticide and then come back within 7-10 days for another treatment. We use both a contact killer and a growth regulator.
At S.O.S. Turf & Pest, we pair our 15 years of experience with high-quality products to ensure that your yard will be as pest-free as possible. To treat for mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks, we try to spray minimal product so that your yard is not full of chemicals unless absolutely necessary.
