Preparing Your Bradenton Yard for Mosquito Spraying
Living in Bradenton means enjoying sunny days, warm evenings, and plenty of time outdoors. Unfortunately, it also means dealing with mosquitoes. Professional mosquito spraying can make a huge difference, but for the treatment to be most effective, it’s important to prepare your yard properly before your service.
Steps to Get Your Yard Ready
1. Remove Standing Water
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Before treatment, check your property for places where water collects:
Empty and refresh water sources as often as possible, especially right before spraying.
2. Mow and Trim
Keeping your grass cut and bushes trimmed allows the treatment to penetrate deeper into mosquito hiding spots. Mosquitoes love shaded, overgrown areas—cutting them back makes the spray far more effective.
3. Unlock Gates and Clear Access
Make sure your technician can easily access all areas of the yard, especially around fences, hedges, and shaded corners where mosquitoes like to gather.
4. Keep Pets and People Inside During Treatment
For safety, have pets and family members indoors while spraying is being done and until the application has fully dried (usually about 30–60 minutes).
After the Treatment
- Avoid watering the lawn for at least 24 hours so the product has time to settle.
- Continue to reduce mosquito breeding grounds by emptying standing water weekly.
- Enjoy your outdoor spaces with fewer bites and greater peace of mind!
