When it comes to protecting your yard from mosquitoes, one common concern is whether mosquito treatments will last through the rain. In Washington, DC, where summer storms and humidity are common, homeowners often wonder if mosquito control services are truly effective after a downpour. The good news? Our mosquito treatments are specifically designed to hold up against rain, ensuring continuous protection for your yard.
How Our Mosquito Treatment Stays Effective After Rain
Our mosquito solution contains a unique ingredient that binds to surfaces like plants, grass, and foliage, allowing it to stay in place even during rainy weather. This bonding process ensures that the treatment doesn’t simply wash away when it rains but remains active on your property, continuing to control mosquito populations.
Additionally, we use an advanced component called an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) in our treatments, which goes beyond just killing adult mosquitoes. This IGR is a crucial part of how our solution works to eliminate mosquitoes for the long term, and it remains effective even after rain showers.
What Is an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) and How Does It Work?
An Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) is a key part of breaking the mosquito life cycle. Unlike traditional pesticides that only target adult mosquitoes, an IGR disrupts the development of mosquito larvae and eggs, preventing them from reaching maturity. Here’s how it works:
Stops Mosquito Eggs from Developing: Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, such as puddles, gutters, or plant containers. The IGR in our solution targets these eggs, preventing them from hatching into larvae.
Prevents Larvae from Maturing: Even if larvae are already present in your yard, the IGR stops them from developing into biting adult mosquitoes. By halting their growth, the treatment reduces the next generation of mosquitoes.
Long-Lasting Impact: Since the IGR component remains on treated surfaces for weeks, it continues to break the mosquito life cycle long after the initial spray. This means that while the adults may die off quickly, the larvae are also being targeted, preventing future waves of mosquitoes from emerging.
