While no tick and mosquito control company can promise to eliminate all mosquitoes from your property, Backyard Bug Busters's organic spray does cut down on your tick and mosquito population significantly. We tell our clients to expect a 70-75% decrease in the number of ticks and mosquitoes on your property after the spray has been applied (the traditional spray eliminates 80-85% of ticks and mosquitoes).

Our organic tick and mosquito spray is made of up essential oils and does work differently than our traditional barrier spray. While it eliminates adults mosquitoes on contact, the organic spray acts a repellent instead of eliminating ticks and mosquitoes through their eating habits. Our traditional spray is ingested by the mosquito when it feeds on plant material that has been treated, eliminating the pest. The organic tick and mosquito spray repels them with its smell.

When first applied to the property, there is a slight botanical fragrance to the all-natural spray. To a human's sense of smell, the odor dissipates within a few hours of application, however, mosquitoes are much more sensitive to smell. The fragrance keeps them away.

Because the tick and organic mosquito control breaks down in the natural elements more quickly, we at Backyard Bug Busters recommend reapplying the treatment every 21 days for continuous protection. For comparison's sake, the traditional barrier spray is reapplied every 30 days usually.
