How Long Does Mosquito Treatment Last?
Depending on what type of mosquito treatment is applied, effectiveness can last for one to two months. The surrounding environment, weather, and quantity of mosquitoes can all play into how long mosquito treatment lasts. When you choose to work with a professional mosquito control expert, they will determine the optimal time to retreat your property.
The goal is to make sure that your property is mosquito-free throughout the whole mosquito season, which is why you might need follow-up treatments.
How Many Mosquito Treatments are Necessary?
Multiple mosquito treatments are usually required to maintain consistent protection against mosquitoes during the spring and summer. After about a month, your repellent will start to fade away, weakening the barrier around your yard. Rather than allow the repellent to decrease in power, it’s crucial to reapply the repellent to protect yourself and your family from mosquitoes through the summer.
