Mosquito Control in Norfolk

Norfolk is a also a popular tourist spot, and many people come to see the Norfolk Botanical Garden or visit the Virginia Zoo. Since Norfolk has water on all sides of the city, during the warmer and more humid months it becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which in addition to being annoying, mosquitoes can also carry diseases such a West Nile Virus and the Zika virus. Mosquito Tek knows that eliminating mosquitoes in Norfolk requires not only exterminating the adults that are known to swarm and bite, but they know how to control mosquito populations in the locations where they breed so they don’t keep coming back.

Eliminate Mosquitoes Where They Breed

One of the most essential steps for comprehensive mosquito control is to first treat all of the areas where mosquitoes tend to breed. A technician will first inspect your yard looking for any containers that may be collecting water, empty them, and in areas where standing water occurs naturally (such as ponds) they will use a larvicide to kill any mosquito larvae that can develop into adult mosquitoes. The larvicide will effectively eliminate the mosquito larvae, but is safe for other aquatic insects that are beneficial to the ecosystem.

Organic and Conventional Treatment Options

Mosquito Tek understands just how important your family’s safety is to you, which is why they offer two of the safest mosquito control treatment options available on the market. Both mosquito treatments are effective at knocking down mosquitoes and protecting you from the diseases that they carry, and each can completely eliminate mosquitoes for up to 3 weeks.

1. For organic mosquito control, Mosquito Tek uses Essentria, which is a highly concentrated all natural insecticide that is completely safe to use in every location where sensitivity to insecticides is a concern, or when trying to maintain the most environmentally safe option possible. This treatment needs to be applied every two weeks, has no aquatic setback, and is safe to use around vegetable gardens and where other helpful insects such as bees are a concern. This is a good option for restaurant owners, daycare centers, nursing homes, and any location that requires extremely safe insecticides.
2. For more problematic mosquito infestations, Mosquito Tek uses Talstar for any conventional mosquito control treatments since it is the most effective and lasts the longest, with a mosquito knockdown that lasts up to three weeks. Talstar is the best mosquito insecticide on the market, and even though it’s extremely effective at killing mosquitoes, it’s still safe to use around your family, pets, wildlife, and plant life.

Affordable Flea and Tick Control Options

Fleas and ticks can trouble people even for those that don’t have pets, and fleas can even find ways into your home by attaching themselves to your family, and once inside they can infest your carpets. Ticks and fleas are known carriers of tapeworms, typhoid fever, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Lyme disease, and when you consider these diseases can affect both your family and your pets, it’s important to take steps immediately to eliminate them before they can infest your home or bite you while enjoying time around your yard or property.
