PROFESSIONAL MOSQUITO TREATMENTS IN TENNESSEE
Most Common Signs of an Ant Infestation In Cookeville, Tennessee.
Prevent Mosquito Infestations in Your Yard
To most effectively keep these pests gone, your best bet is to work with a certified mosquito exterminator in Dekalb and Putnam County. However, there are extra steps you can take to deter mosquitoes from hanging around your home. While they can be a challenge to completely eliminate because they are flying pests, the way you maintain your landscape and property can play a large role in the size of your mosquito population. They can lay their eggs in bodies of water as small as a birdbath or clogged gutter, so keeping an eye out for these and other sources of standing water can help avoid inviting this insect into your yard.

What is a barrier treatment?
Traditional mosquito barrier treatment is our primary mosquito control technique. Our treatment kills and repels between 50-75 percent of mosquitoes on contact and remains effective for up to three- five weeks after application.
Before treating your property, our technicians will first examine your yard’s unique layout and personalize a plan for its specific parameters. We’ll inspect standing water, vegetation, log piles, tarps, shady spots, and other conditions. This ensures we can kill mosquitoes where they breed, feed, and harbor.
