Mosquito Treatment and Property Value
Buyer Interest – Livability
Studies have shown that homes lose 5-10% of their value in the eyes of a buyer if there is a known mosquito problem. If your home has a mosquito problem, a potential buyer will be able to notice it unless you’re selling your home in the dead of winter. This could result in reduced offers, or even buyers avoiding your home altogether. If your yard has hardly any pests, a trained buyer will take notice.
Pools, Patios, and Natural Areas
Mosquito hotspots such as pools, patios, and natural areas may become completely unusable if left untreated with a mosquito infestation. If someone looking to buy your home knows they’ll have to spend thousands of dollars on treatment, plus potentially getting their pool or patio repaired, you’d be the one paying for it in the aggregate. This is why we highly recommend preventative treatment to preserve property value, rather than treating once you already have an infestation.
Insurance Costs
Due to the diseases mosquitoes carry, such as the West Nile virus, insurance costs may be higher in high-risk areas for health reasons. While insurance companies apply this to areas, not individual homes, it’s an important consideration to bring to your HOA or local government officials to maintain property values. Additionally, landlords may be liable if a tenant contracts a mosquito-borne illness if there was not an adequate prevention plan in place.
How Our Mosquito Treatment Works
While it may feel like magic to our customers, our mosquito control program is backed by biology and science.
Reduce
Our mosquito control technicians apply a barrier treatment, which sticks to wood, stone, brick, foliage, and other organic materials. Any mosquitos that come in direct contact with this barrier treatment will be exterminated.
Repel
Female mosquitoes are attracted to the CO2 that humans exhale. Our repellant treatment masks the carbon dioxide, therefore repelling mosquitoes.
Repeat
We schedule to re-treat your yard every 10-17 days. The vertical barrier we create gets stronger with every visit, helping to keep the mosquitoes away.
