Professional Mosquito Treatment Nicholson

What Life Looks Like Mosquito-Free

You step outside without immediately reaching for bug spray. Your kids play in the yard without getting covered in bites. Evening barbecues happen without everyone huddling around citronella candles.

This is what effective mosquito control delivers. Not just fewer mosquitoes—actual outdoor freedom. When our barrier treatments create a protective zone around your property, you get your space back.

Michigan’s mosquito season runs from March through September, with peak activity during those perfect summer evenings you want to enjoy. Professional treatment means you don’t have to choose between outdoor time and comfort.

We’ve been protecting Nicholson families since 2005. Roger, our owner with 26 years of pest control experience, understands exactly what works against Michigan’s mosquito populations.

As a family-owned business, we know what it’s like to want safe outdoor spaces for your children. That’s why we include flea and tick treatment in our mosquito programs at no extra charge—because Michigan’s pest problems don’t exist in isolation.

Mosquito Spraying Process Nicholson

How We Eliminate Your Mosquito Problem

First, your technician inspects your property to identify breeding sites and resting areas. Standing water in gutters, dense vegetation, and shaded spots where mosquitoes gather during the day.

Next comes the barrier treatment. We apply a protective spray to vegetation, fence lines, and structures where mosquitoes rest. This creates a zone that kills mosquitoes on contact and repels new ones from settling.

We also treat breeding areas with larvicides when appropriate, stopping the next generation before they become biting adults. Your technician explains what they’re doing and why, so you understand the strategy behind each application.

Follow-up treatments maintain protection throughout mosquito season. Most properties need service every 3-4 weeks, but your technician adjusts timing based on weather conditions and mosquito pressure.

Complete Mosquito Protection for Michigan Properties

Our mosquito control program includes barrier spraying, breeding site treatment, and ongoing monitoring. But here’s what makes us different in Nicholson: we include flea and tick control in every mosquito treatment.

Michigan’s mosquito season coincides with peak tick activity, and fleas thrive in the same humid conditions. Rather than charging separately for three different services, we handle all three because that’s what your property actually needs.

West Nile virus has been detected in Michigan every summer since 2002, with southeastern counties seeing consistent activity. Professional mosquito control isn’t just about comfort—it’s about protecting your family from disease-carrying pests.

Your service includes written documentation of what was applied and where, plus recommendations for eliminating breeding sites around your property. We’re licensed by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and carry full insurance, because mosquito control involves pesticides that require proper training to use safely.

How often do you need to spray for mosquitoes in Michigan?

Most Michigan properties need mosquito barrier treatments every 3-4 weeks during active season, which runs from March through September. Weather affects this timing significantly. Heavy rains wash away barrier treatments faster, while dry periods extend their effectiveness. Your technician monitors conditions and adjusts scheduling accordingly. Some properties with heavy mosquito pressure may need treatment every 3 weeks, while others can go 4-5 weeks between applications. The key is consistency during peak season. Missing treatments in July and August, when mosquito populations explode, means starting over with control efforts. Regular treatments build and maintain protection rather than constantly playing catch-up.

What time of day should mosquito spraying be done?

Early morning or late afternoon work best for mosquito treatments in Michigan. Mosquitoes are most active during these cooler periods, and they’re resting on vegetation where barrier sprays can reach them effectively. Midday treatments during hot, sunny conditions are less effective because mosquitoes seek shade and shelter. They’re also harder on the technician and can cause treatments to break down faster in intense heat. Wind conditions matter more than exact timing. Calm conditions prevent spray drift and ensure treatments land where intended. Your technician may adjust appointment times based on weather forecasts to optimize treatment effectiveness.

Is mosquito spraying safe for pets and children?

Yes, when applied by licensed professionals using EPA-registered products according to label directions. We use the same products approved for residential use that homeowners can purchase, but our training ensures proper application rates and placement. Children and pets should stay indoors during application and until treated areas dry, typically 1-2 hours. After that, normal outdoor activities can resume. The dried residue poses minimal risk while remaining effective against mosquitoes. We always inform you of any specific precautions for your property. Some treatments require covering outdoor pet food or bringing in bird feeders temporarily. Your technician explains these steps before beginning work and provides written instructions for post-treatment care.

How long does mosquito barrier spray last?

Barrier treatments typically provide 3-4 weeks of protection under normal Michigan weather conditions. Heavy rainfall, irrigation systems, and intense sunlight break down treatments faster. The residual effect works in two ways: killing mosquitoes that land on treated surfaces and repelling them from the area. Even as killing power diminishes, the repellent effect often continues longer. Properties with dense vegetation, water features, or neighboring untreated areas may see faster re-infestation. Your technician monitors mosquito activity and adjusts treatment intervals based on what they observe during service visits. Consistent treatments maintain better long-term control than sporadic applications.

Do you treat standing water for mosquito larvae?

Yes, larvicide treatments are included when appropriate breeding sites are identified on your property. Mosquito larvae develop in standing water, so eliminating them prevents adult populations from emerging. Common breeding sites include clogged gutters, bird baths, plant saucers, and low-lying areas that hold water after rain. We treat these areas with products that kill larvae without harming birds, pets, or beneficial insects. However, source reduction is more effective than chemical treatment. Your technician identifies breeding sites and explains how to eliminate them permanently. Dumping standing water weekly prevents more mosquitoes than any treatment can kill after they’ve already developed.

What's included in your mosquito control service?

Our mosquito control program includes barrier spraying, breeding site treatment, and flea and tick control at no additional charge. Most companies charge separately for each service, but we include all three because Michigan properties need comprehensive protection. Each service includes property inspection, written documentation of treatments applied, and recommendations for reducing pest pressure between visits. Your same certified technician returns each time, learning your property and adjusting treatments based on seasonal changes and pest activity. We also provide emergency callback service if mosquitoes return between scheduled treatments. This rarely happens with consistent service, but weather conditions or neighboring breeding sites can occasionally cause breakthrough activity that requires additional attention.
