Summer months should be spent outdoors, but
this is tough to do with pests lurking around every corner. Something as simple
as an afternoon walk can mean itchy, red bites being left behind. Don’t waste
nice weather by being trapped indoors when you can kick those critters to the
curb. When you are ready to get rid of the biting bugs surrounding your home,
workspace or event centre, just call Toodaloo! Our Thunder Bay mosquito control
programs work to remove insects at every stage of their life cycle through
all-natural methods.
Managing Mosquito Populations
The world seems to have a never-ending
supply of mosquitoes. No matter where you look, there is a bug buzzing nearby.
Mosquito bites are enough to ruin a day in the park, but they are also known to
terrorize important events. No one wants to spend their wedding day or family
reunion swatting at their skin, hoping to take out one of these annoying pests
and this puts pressure on property owners. This applies to all types of
properties in the Thunder Bay area.
Commercial spaces and restaurants, sports
fields, outdoor event centres and even homes suffer with adult mosquitoes
nearby. Instead of losing money on bookings or having customers pass your patio
by, let a Toodaloo expert show you how effective mosquito control is done!
Every year, property owners spend their time and hard-earned money to try to
combat infestations around their space. There are plenty of options for
mosquito traps and insect repellents at your neighbourhood hardware store but
most of these are not effective enough to make a difference.
Over the counter baits and treatments
utilize everything from carbon dioxide and bacillus thuringiensis to harsh
chemicals. This might create a temporary barrier between bugs and yourself but
when you really want to get results, it is important to prevent mosquitoes
breeding nearby. Preventing mosquitoes from taking over your property begins
from the egg stages and up.
The Importance of Quick Action
More than just being a minor annoyance, bug
bites are known to transmit disease. Becoming a blood meal for a pest might
mean everything from itchy welts, to allergic reactions to West Nile Virus.
Because it is a health hazard, it is that much more important to kill mosquito
populations or find ways to remove them from your outdoor space.
While they might look the same to us, these
pests come in a wide variety of types. With so many species of mosquitoes
roaming the Canadian landscape, it is important to know what you are working
with. It is common enough for insects to be drawn to damp spaces, but no one
loves stagnant water like a mosquito does.
Whether you notice them or not, there are
mosquitoes laying eggs in the standing water on your property. It might be a
bird bath, fountain, an unemptied pool or even a bottle cap but anything that
can collect water can collect mosquito larvae.
Spraying yourself with mosquito repellent
every hour to limit bites is not a nice way to spend the day. In fact, plenty
of Canadians try to avoid these chemical options. In order to protect our
clients and the environment, Toodaloo has come up with a completely natural
system for keeping bugs at bay.
Thunder Bay Mosquito Control: The
Toodaloo Technique
In order to get the best results for our
clients, the pest control experts at Toodaloo have come up with a system to not
only treat adult pests, but eggs and larvae as well. By combining essential
oils and other natural repellents, our specialists are able to create an
environment that is unappealing for pests but welcoming for guests.
This natural approach allows spray
treatments to be applied right to grass and greenery without the threat of
burning or damage. These barrier sprays keep pests away for up to 21 days. This
makes natural treatment perfect for short term events or long-term mosquito
control. Instead of waiting for the clock to run out and pests to return, the
Toodaloo method reapplies sprays every two weeks. This process keeps pests away
for longer periods and a bit of regular care can mean months of pest-free
outdoor fun.
Choosing local care for your pest control
needs means timely service and access to all the after care and resources that
you can ask for! There are plenty of larger companies to choose from when it
comes to pest control needs but they lack a personal touch. Why be another
number on a call sheet when you can have a member of your community providing
your care?
When you want the best in care, look no
further than your neighbourhood Toodaloo technician. Our experts are available
for regularly scheduled applications, as well as one-time call outs.
