How does BuzzGuard apply its Mosquito and Tick Spray?
At BuzzGuard, we use a backpack sprayer to effectively deliver our mosquito defense control service. This technique guarantees comprehensive coverage of plants, beneath decks, around buildings, and across various landscape features where mosquitoes live, rest, and conceal themselves. Our fine droplet spray instantly knocks down mosquitoes on contact and offers lasting protection for up to 21 days.
What control products does BuzzGuard utilize?
BuzzGuard uses a synthetic barrier control product that features a version of pyrethrin, which is derived from chrysanthemum flower.
Which areas of my property will BuzzGuard treat?
Our mosquito control service concentrates on the areas of your property that are most affected by mosquitoes. We prioritize treatment of dense vegetation like trees, shrubs, hedges, and ground covers, in addition to spaces beneath decks, stairways, and within landscape features for thorough protection.
Does BuzzGuard apply Mosquito Control everywhere on my property?
We strategically apply our barrier control in areas where mosquitoes are commonly found, providing effective protection while steering clear of sensitive locations like flowering plants, vegetable gardens, and bodies of water.
Who performs the application at BuzzGuard?
Our mosquito control service is performed by licensed technicians who are specially trained in managing mosquitoes and biting flies. These technicians possess certifications that comply with the regulatory standards established by the Ministry of the Environment.
What if my neighbor doesn’t use BuzzGuard? Will it still be effective?
Certainly! Our mosquito control service is still highly effective, even if your neighbor doesn't participate. Our products kill existing mosquito populations on contact and create a barrier that keeps away mosquitoes for up to 21 days.
How quickly does BuzzGuard's Mosquito Control take effect?
Enjoy instant results! Our mosquito control starts working as soon as it's applied, delivering a significant decrease in mosquito activity immediately.

How will I know BuzzGuard has been to my property?
Following each visit, you'll get an email summarizing any notes or suggestions from our technician.
