Barrier Spray Treatment

How effective is mosquito barrier spray?

Is mosquito spray safe for children and pets?
When applied properly and allowed to dry (typically 30–60 minutes), EPA-registered barrier sprays are safe for people and pets. Organic (garlic and essential oil based) options are available for extra peace of mind.
What about mosquito misting systems?
Automatic misting systems spray at timed intervals (typically at dusk and dawn) using fine nozzles installed around the yard perimeter. They provide consistent, hands-free protection and are popular for large properties and entertainment areas.
Will treating my yard help if my neighbors have standing water?
Barrier spray kills mosquitoes that enter your yard, even from neighboring properties. Source reduction on your property significantly boosts effectiveness.
