Use residual products to keep mosquitoes away

Dr. Kurt Vandock, Head of Public Health, U.S. Environmental Science, Bayer

As temperatures start to rise, so does the threat of mosquitoes. With recent flooding in the Midwest and the remaining snow packs up north that will rapidly melt in the coming weeks, the standing water equates to strong mosquito pressure for many regions this spring.

When customers trust you with this service, it’s not enough to just knock mosquitoes down; look for products with a long residual and wash-off resistance to help keep these nuisance — and public health — pests away until your next service.
