Few outdoor pests put as much a damper on enjoying time outside as the mosquito! That’s because homeowners know mosquitoes are not only a major nuisance that will leave itchy and sometimes painful bites, but they also pose the risk of transmitting potentially dangerous diseases like Zika and West Nile.
There’s a good reason why the mosquito has been named the “World’s Deadliest Creature,” and nobody wants them lurking in their backyard!
For these reasons, a lot of homeowners end up turning to mosquito control to protect themselves and their families.
But there is an abundance of Lousiville mosquito spraying companies out there—so how do you choose the right one?
At Limbwalker, we are by no means naive in thinking that we are your only option for Louisville mosquito control. But we also want to see you make a wise choice that you are happy with. With a pest as frustrating as the mosquito, there’s no time for messing around.
That’s why we’re talking openly about your choices for Louisville mosquito spraying companies. Whether you ultimately choose us or another company, we want to make sure that you are getting the best service, experience, and results.
Here are a few of the Louisville mosquito spraying companies that will likely make it on your list as well as what to expect.
Mosquito Squad is a well-known name because it is a national franchise. They offer their traditional Mosquito Barrier Treatment and automatic misting systems.
Like Mosquito Squad, Mosquito Hunters of Eastern Louisville are also part of a national franchise system. This local franchise says that they service residential, commercial, and municipal locations.
As you might have guessed, this is another franchise. Most mosquito control services are franchises. This is another option in our area. They offer both residential and commercial treatments.
Of course, we’d love for you to also consider Limbwalker in your quest to find the best Louisville mosquito spraying company. At Limbwalker, our Mosquito Control Program starts at $59 per visit. Our eight-visit program will drastically reduce your mosquitoes from April through September.
Let’s talk about a few things that tend to set Limbwalker mosquito control apart.
One of the biggest differences of working with Limbwalker is that we are not part of a franchise system. We are highly focused on customer service and on getting to know the individual properties (and property owners) who become our clients.
In general, the experience with Limbwalker tends to be different from that of other lawn care services because we’re so committed to customer service. It’s something that we call the “Limbwalker Difference,” and it boils down to the fact that we don’t want to be like everyone else.
Another big difference is the fact that we’re not solely focused on mosquito control treatments.
As our company name suggests, we started our company with tree work. Limbwalker got its start in 2004 as a group of award-winning tree climbers. We are a group that loves trees and the outdoors—and we’ve learned that we love helping Louisville homeowners find as much enjoyment in the outdoors as we do.
That’s actually what led us to diversify and start offering both lawn care and mosquito control as well. We know that people cannot get outside and enjoy their properties to the fullest when they are constantly threatened by these unwanted pests.
But homeowners appreciate that we can also service their trees and lawns, helping to make their properties more fully enjoyable. If you hire a company that only handles mosquito control, you’ll still need to hire a lawn and/or tree care company.
It’s often also a differentiator that we are committed to minimizing mosquito spray to targeted areas where mosquitoes live and breed. Whereas some companies perform blanket applications (because it’s easier), we’re taking the time to perform targeted control that won’t harm pollinators.
Of course, some homeowners might choose a DIY approach rather than hiring a Louisville mosquito spraying company.
In the article linked above, you can read about why we don’t advise that.
To sum it up quickly, a DIY approach to mosquitoes is never going to be able to stand up to what a professional can offer. It typically means the use of subpar products and equipment, a learning curve to figure things out, and an investment of time and money that might be heftier than you anticipated.
There’s also a major convenience factor in letting a professional handle mosquito control for you. You don’t have to worry about preparing or storing chemicals, cleaning or maintaining equipment, or even running to the store to buy more product when you need it.
When it comes to actually make your choice for Louisville mosquito control, it’s important that you put in the work on the front end to research your options. This will help you to feel confident that you’ve chosen a company that will get you the results, service and experience you anticipated.
While it might feel like a lot of work to look into these companies, it’s worth it to know that you’re going to be happy in the end. And as we said at the start, with a pest as potentially dangerous as the mosquito, you want to feel confident that you are well protected.
When you choose wisely, you can ultimately hand over your worries and get back to enjoying your property to the fullest.
