Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 877-665-2667 today!

  • Do you spray the grass?

    Not usually during a normal service. Mosquitoes do not normally seek shelter in the grass. Our goal during the inspection of the property is to identify the “hot spots” where mosquitoes might be most active. The most common areas to find mosquitoes during the day include: the underside of plant and tree leaves , under decks and in damp shady areas around the property. We do recommend that you keep your grass short during the mosquito season.

  • What chemicals are being used in my yard and are they safe?

    Our product of choice is Talstar which is a residual pyrethroid insecticide. It kills on contact and provides a residue which will continue to kill mosquitoes for weeks. The active ingredient Bifenthrin is family and pet friendly and is odorless, leaves no staining and retains its effectiveness after rainfall.

    Family and pets should not be outside during the application of the spray treatment, but once dry you can touch the grass, walk around barefoot and enjoy your yard.

  • Does your treatment get rid of any other pests?

    Yes. The standard barrier spray treatment is also effective on fleas and ticks.

  • Are Mosquito Assassin technicians certified, licensed, and insured?

    Yes! All of our technicians are fully trained and licensed applicators in Massachusetts and/ or Rhode Island. They must also pass full background checks prior to being employed. We carry full insurance coverage.

  • Is there an all natural treatment option?

    Yes. However, our all-natural treatment needs to be applied more often to be effective and it repels mosquitoes rather than eliminating them. The all natural treatment also has an odor.
