Quotes

Wilson explained, "We're not here to scare people, but the truth is that the spraying by municipalities in spring and summer doesn't do a great deal of good on the homeowners property because mosquitoes usually only travel about 150 feet from where they hatch. Our chemicals are safe and attach to foliage for longer-term effectiveness; as the larva grow and consume the treated foliage our application continues to rid the area of pests. We'll re-spray when necessary, but that happens less than 1 percent of the time."
