Backyard barbecues are a timeless tradition everyone enjoys, and there’s no better time or place to fire up the grill or smoker than summertime in Arkansas! This is also when insects become much more active, and you and your guests can easily wind up on their menu if you don’t take a few basic precautions. The good news is that our team at The Bug Man is here to help, and we offer mosquito treatment services each year from April through October!
We’ve proudly offered trusted pest control in Little Rock for over 49 years, and we’re always a phone call away when you’re having trouble with mosquitoes or other flying insects. Our monthly mosquito treatment plans start at $90 for an average-sized yard, and we also offer single-visit treatments if you’re planning a church picnic or other special event and don’t want any unwanted guests crashing the party! A mosquito treatment plan is a great way to reclaim your backyard, and our pest control experts are always a phone call away if you encounter any mosquito activity between your regularly scheduled service appointments.
There are also several important things you can do on your own to keep the pests away. For starters, you’ll want to eliminate all potential habitats and food sources. Keep your lawn mowed and your hedges trimmed, and contact a tree service if you have any tree branches overhanging or in direct contact with your roof. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water, so be sure to empty kiddie pools and pet water dishes after use. You should also avoid leaving pet food out overnight, because you’re likely to attract squirrels, rodents, and larger pests like raccoons.
Tiki torches and citronella candles help keep flying pests away, and they also add some lovely ambiance to an outdoor cookout. And if you’re looking for a great low-tech solution, you can’t go wrong with a large outdoor fan! Mosquitoes aren’t great flyers, and outdoor fans are a great way to keep the mosquitoes and other flying pests away and stay cool at the same time!
