Not normally, since mosquitoes do not typically use your grass as a resting area. The most common “hot spots” for hunting mosquitoes during the day include under the leaves of dense bushes and shrubs, underneath decks, and in damp shaded areas of the property. However, Mosquito Assassin does recommend that you keep your grass short during the mosquito season. In some special circumstances like large outdoor parties and weddings, we will spray the grass where your guests will be.

Our treatments are tailored specifically for your property. On foot, our technicians walk your property to apply with a methodology specific to your outdoor space. On the other hand, a mosquito truck sprays a dense fog from the street, intending to eradicate adult mosquitoes, but their service can only reach pockets of infested areas in close proximity to the truck. In many cases, the backyard mosquitoes are left unfazed. We make your backyard our main mosquito hunting area!
Mosquitoes are definitely a pest, but normal pest control doesn’t always target these biting bugs. Here at Mosquito Assassin, we’ve worked to perfect a solution that specifically targets mosquitoes. Our barrier treatments also effectively get rid of ticks.
As long as your yard has had sufficient time to dry afterwards (about 30 minutes), rain should not have a negative effect on the barrier treatment. However, our Assassin’ Happiness Promise ensures that if the quality of your barrier treatment is affected by rain, we will come back and re-treat at no additional cost.

A Mosquito Assassin barrier treatment takes about 20 minutes to complete, on average. Larger yards may take longer to treat. Each treatment lasts approximately 21 days, at which time our team will be scheduled to treat your yard again. You, your family, and your pets should stay inside during the barrier treatment, but feel free to return to your outdoor fun after allowing 30 minutes for the treatment to dry. When dry, there is minimal opportunity for the product to transfer to people or pets who brush against the foliage.
Our primary barrier treatment products are synthetic forms of pyrethrins called pyrethroids. Pyrethrins originate from the extract of chrysanthemum flowers. Pyrethroids are used in various household products including lice shampoos and pet shampoos and sprays. We spray this product on bushes and shrubs, mulch beds, low-hanging portions of your trees, etc. Since these products are derived from plants, they will not harm plants. The products break down naturally into harmless byproducts 21 days after application.
In addition to outdoor mosquito and tick control, pyrethroid based products like these are used in medications for head lice.
