Green Mosquito Exterminator in Richmond, VA

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Will I Receive Treatment?

Every three weeks during mosquito season, we’ll use a fogging system to disperse the repellent over your yard. If necessary, we’ll also apply the repellent directly to standing water sources where mosquitoes breed, such as ponds and ditches.

Our repellent is non-toxic and produces no known negative health effects. If you’re looking for an all-natural, plant-based mosquito control solution that is safe to use around your family and pets, then look no further than Eco Pest Control, the leading mosquito control company in the greater Richmond and Williamsburg areas.

How Does the “Fog” Repel Mosquitoes?

Our green, all-natural mosquito repellent creates a protective barrier against mosquitoes through the combination of essential oils. Rosemary oil, geraniol, and peppermint oil are released into the air when the repellent is applied, creating an unpleasant smell for mosquitoes. The scent also acts as a physical deterrent, blocking their access to potential hosts.

Additionally, these oils are known to possess insecticidal properties, which help reduce the mosquito population in an area. Whether you are grilling, gardening, or just want to enjoy some time in your backyard, Eco Pest offers the perfect solution for keeping pesky mosquitoes away.

Does the Spray Have a Strong Scent?

Our green, all-natural mosquito repellent features a light and pleasant scent, which most people find quite pleasant, thanks to a blend of essential oils. While the scent may be strong enough to deter mosquitoes, it is mild and not overpowering for humans, although the scent may vary depending on the amount of repellent applied and the area where it is being used. However, it still provides a fantastic way to keep pesky mosquitoes away without worrying about strong odors or skin irritations.

Is Your Treatment Safe for Children and Pets?

Our green mosquito treatments are specifically designed using eco-friendly, naturally-derived active ingredients that are gentle on people and animals. These solutions target the mosquitoes themselves while minimizing risk to beneficial insects, the environment, and your family. We focus on treating vegetation where mosquitoes rest, and surfaces are typically safe once the treatment has dried, which usually takes about 30 minutes. The safety of your children and pets is our top priority when designing and applying every mosquito control program. We encourage you to discuss any specific concerns with our technicians before treatment begins.

What Can I Do To Prevent Mosquitoes From Entering My Home?

The most effective way to prevent mosquitoes indoors is to ensure all your window and door screens are intact and completely free of any tears or holes. Always keep doors and windows promptly shut, especially during the early morning and evening hours when mosquitoes are most active. You should also ensure that the seals and weather stripping around entry points are secure to block tiny gaps mosquitoes can fly through. If you frequently use a garage or side door, consider installing a temporary magnetic screen for added protection. Using air conditioning is another great deterrent, as mosquitoes dislike the cooler indoor temperatures and strong airflow.

How Long After Fogging Can I Re-Enter the Area?

Because we use natural, minimum-risk products, you can re-enter the treated area immediately after fogging. Because there is no re-entry delay, we can treat areas with high human activity, such as schools, daycare facilities, and commercial establishments.

In addition, our green mosquito repellent can also be used safely near or over open water without concern for its effects on aquatic life. This is especially useful for mosquito applications around boat docks and marinas.
