April Showers Bring May Mosquitoes

by Amy Sharp

Remember all the rain that fell in April? The May mosquitoes might be here..but you can control them.

Local BUGCO Pest Control offers state-of-the-art mosquito control options for residential homes, commercial businesses, HOAs, municipalities, industrial complexes, apartment complexes, and more.

“Our mosquito misting systems are extremely popular with homeowners and businesses with outdoor entertaining areas,” says BUGCO founder Chris Millward. “These misting systems provide a daily, quick kill of the mosquitoes around the perimeter of your home, yard, or outdoor entertaining area.”

When you install a mosquito misting system with BUGCO, your system is specifically designed for your home with strategic nozzle installation. “The system itself is discrete,” continues Chris. “It meshes with the look of your home and yard. It operates for very brief periods in the middle of the night, when mosquitoes are most active. Our systems use a water-based, biodegradable pyrethrum extract from the chrysanthemum flower to effectively control your mosquito nuisance while being safe for kids and pets. We gen- erally set it to spray two to three times per night, and mosquitoes flying or resting are instantly hit with a lethal dose. A remote con trol feature allows you to operate the system at your command. If you’re having a BBQ or pool party, just hit ‘Mist Now’ about half an hour before guests arrive to prep your yard.”

For HOAs, municipalities, industrial complexes, apartment complexes, and more, BUGCO offers truck-mounted mos quito fogging systems. “Our trucks usually operate between midnight and 2am,” says Chris. “During this time, most residents are indoors and beneficial insects are not active. Since mosquito populations can rebound quickly, truck-mounted mosquito fogging is most effective when repeated once or twice a week.” BUGCO’s ServiceDisabled Veteran-Owned Small Business status is beneficial to state and government agencies needing to fulfill federal and state set-aside requirements.

When you engage with BUGCO, you are provided a service agreement that outlines the services agreed upon and the pricing. There’s no contract and no hidden or surprise fees. Founder and CEO John Onofrey says, “If at any point you have questions, you can give us a call or access your account through our online customer portal. Most importantly, you are free to cancel the service agreement at any time without penalty.” Additional BUGCO mosquito control options include backpack fogging, yard treatments, and mosquito traps. BUGCO also has treatment options for general pest control, roaches, termites, fire ants, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, and rodents both commercially and residentially. Now that the April showers have passed, let’s knock out the May mosquitoes…that way we can sit outside and enjoy the May flowers!
