If you or your dog has ever scratched at pests during a summer evening, you know just how quickly mosquitoes can ruin time outside. Mosquito Shield of North Salt Lake City is here to help you and your pets enjoy the yard this season by significantly reducing mosquito bites. By combining targeted barrier treatments with their new bait stations that interrupt the life cycle of these pests, they can help shrink the problem at its source. Owners Jennifer and Dustin Schouten enjoy helping people get back to doing the things they love outdoors.
“We love how well the product works, so that people can actually go outside and enjoy themselves with their family,” Jennifer says. While their standard spray is designed to repel and kill active mosquitoes, they wanted to find a way to reduce the actual population on people’s properties, especially larger spaces. Their new bait stations are the first of their kind for Mosquito Shield and make for a two-part treatment for dual protection. These stations can be placed in the shade along the perimeter of your property before spraying, which begins in April. They attract female mosquitoes to lay their eggs inside, which contains a larvicide to kill off the larvae. She will also drop off that larvicide to other breeding pools, helping to reduce the population. “It’s not necessarily for every yard, but it’s going to be especially helpful for people who don’t have a standard property, are
close to retention ponds or canals, and have standing water,” Jennifer said.
The life cycle of mosquitoes speeds up as temperatures warm, and they often come out in the cool evenings, the same time we do. Beyond discomfort, mosquitoes can transmit heartworm to dogs, which can be even more dangerous for pups with allergies or asthma. Jennifer said that, along with their treatments, a great way to help prevent mosquitoes is to give your yard a little seasonal clean-up, removing debris or anything that can hold water to eliminate their favorite places to hide and breed. Salazar Scoops and Mosquito Shield are ready to help you make your yard safer and more comfortable for your family and pets.
