A wild story from CBS New York came out this week. Apparently there is a new breed of mosquito plaguing the City that Never Sleeps – one that breeds in the humid warmth of the city’s sewer system year round.

This particular breed, then, comes into people’s homes through cracks and vents at bites at night.

“They trapped 150 mosquitoes in the basement in a 24-hour period coming from underground and into the basement and up in the house through the air vents and it’s the same story as the other brownstones on this block,” one homeowner told CBS New York.

This breed is also particularly blood thirsty.

“They’re hungry,” said one resident, pointing out bites on her child. “Three on this ear. One on his cheek. One on his neck, and there are some on his arms going up his arm.”

Luckily we’re in the clear for mosquitoes for now in our part of the country. However, it is never too early to begin planning on how you will protect your family next year from dangerous outdoor pests. Contact Mosquito Squad today or take a look at a previous post that highlights the 3 P’s of Striking Early: Protection, Priority, Price.

Dread Skeeter and the entire Squad had a great time at the 2011 NSU Gypsy Day Parade! Thank you to everyone who gave us such a warm and enthusiastic welcome to Aberdeen.

In case you missed the parade, we’ve uploaded a short video showcasing some of Dread Skeeter’s dance moves. Perhaps on his off hours he should consider dance instruction?

We stumbled across an article from this summer on Shine, a Yahoo website. The topic: Mosquito Myths.

The list includes such highlights as:

- Contrary to popular belief, mosquitoes do not die after feeding.

- You may have heard that Skin-So-Soft products repel mosquitoes. While it does have repellent qualities, the University of Florida found that it only repels for about 3-10 minutes after application.

- This was a new one for us, but apparently there are claims that lemon dish soap and Listerine repel mosquitoes. But according to the University of Florida these products have no effect on mosquitoes.

What isn’t a myth? Mosquito Squad will dramatically reduce the number of mosquitoes in your yard. To take back your outdoor living space, contact us today!

Mosquito Squad – America’s Most Trusted Mosquito and Tick Control!

With winter right around the corner, if you’re like me, you’re probably more concerned about how much snow you’re going to shovel this winter than battling mosquitoes in the spring.

There are definite benefits, however, to start planning early how you will attack the nuisance and danger of mosquitoes and ticks in your yard next summer.

The barrier spray is the heart and soul of what we do at Mosquito Squad. Each barrier spray kills adult mosquitoes and ticks on contact, but it doesn’t stop there. It truly creates a “barrier” around your yard – for 21 days following the spray any incoming mosquitoes that attempt to feed off your greenery will be knocked dead.

The reduction in mosquitoes in your yard will be nothing short of dramatic.

Hatching cycles, however, can be difficult to predict and will occur throughout the season.  Waiting until mosquitoes have become a serious problem in your yard may mean having to lose ground in the battle for your backyard.

Mosquito Squad's service is safe for kids, for pets, and for your plants.

The best way to protect your outdoor living space regardless of when the mosquitoes decide to strike is by signing up in advance for a complete season of barrier sprays. It is best on three fronts: protection, priority and price.

So what exactly are the 3 P’s?

PROTECTION

We at Mosquito Squad will monitor the conditions and begin spraying for our season customers around mid-May – this is one of the primary benefits of the season package. Even if mosquitoes are not yet out in full force, you are truly creating a “barrier” around your outdoor living space. As soon as they begin to strike in large numbers, your property will have the protection in place to begin killing the vast majority of incoming mosquitoes.

When your neighbors are grumbling indoors, you’ll be enjoying the summer weather on your patio.

PRIORITY

Another major benefit of purchasing a season package is that it effectively makes you a priority customer. Our trained technicians will be out at least every 21 days to update your barrier spray, ensuring that you always have the highest level of protection against mosquitoes, ticks and other outdoor pests. You will always have top priority on our schedules.

We definitely value our single spray customers and will schedule them for a barrier spray as soon as possible after they call. There will be a period of time, however, between you recognizing the problem and Mosquito Squad’s arrival.

PRICE

The last major benefit to connecting with Mosquito Squad early is the cost savings. We currently have early bird pricing in place for all of our season packages, but you have to call now to reserve your season.

Signing up for a full season of sprays ensures you the best value Mosquito Squad has to offer. Plus, we back every barrier spray with a 100% satisfaction, money-back guarantee.

The only thing you have to lose are the mosquitoes.

Give us a call today to discuss what Mosquito Squad can do for you. Then sit back, relax, and enjoy the holidays knowing that you will never lose your backyard to mosquitoes again.

Gypsy Days is upon us here in Aberdeen and Dread Skeeter intends to be here for the festivities. He thought that the theme for this year’s homecoming – “I Came. I Saw. I Conquered.” – to be especially fitting when introducing Aberdeen to Mosquito Squad – America’s Most Trusted Mosquito and Tick Control.

Our weather here in South Dakota can be wildly unpredictable, and often we have just a few short months to enjoy warm weather in our backyards and on our patios and decks. Unfortunately, we also have to share that very same time with annoying mosquitoes, often getting chased right back indoors.

And mosquitoes are no longer just a nuisance – they bring with them the danger of diseases such as West Nile Virus.

Starting next summer, however, you will have a formidable option. Dread Skeeter is proud to introduce Mosquito Squad to Aberdeen! Each spray from our service kills mosquitoes, ticks and other outdoor pests on contact, but it doesn’t stop there. It continues to provide another 21 days of relief as any incoming mosquito that enters your yard and feeds off your foliage will be killed, as well. The reduction you will see in the number of mosquitoes in your yard will be nothing short of dramatic.

Next summer, conquer your backyard with Mosquito Squad.

Mosquito Squad - No Bugs. No Bites. No Kidding.
