Mosquitoes can be a nuisance. This is true whether you are a business owner or a homeowner. While mosquito control at home can mean a safe place for kids to play outside and to have evening barbecues with the neighbors, there are added benefits to controlling mosquitoes on the grounds of local businesses.
What’s the Difference between Commercial and Residential Control?
The difference in programs can be based on the amount of acreage between the two areas and the number of customers who use it. Mosquitoes are drawn to carbon dioxide, so larger groups of people exhaling this gas will attract more of these insects than a yard with one or two people in it. Because businesses may need large-scale applications and possibly a higher frequency of application, we design special programs just for you.
What’s the Benefit of Mosquito Control at my Business?
1. Customer and Tenant Retention:
They say it’s the little things that count. Getting out of your car and walking to a business without being bothered by mosquitoes is definitely included in this. If you have nice grounds around your business, employees and guests will relish the ability to have a picnic or sit in the shade. This can be difficult to do if there are tiny little bugs buzzing around your ear.
2. Reduce Liability Risks:
Mosquitoes are known carriers of a number of blood borne pathogens. In the U.S, this includes some life-threatening diseases like Zika and West Nile. While not all mosquitoes are carriers of these diseases, media perception can be a nightmare for your business. One of the easiest ways to save yourself liability risk during outbreaks is a consistent record of preventative mosquito control. This may even lead to some reduced insurance costs.
3. Keeping it Green:
The ability to keep your surrounding property wild is important. Did you know that mosquito control can be green, too? Today’s biological control methods can be targeted to be species-specific or family-specific. This means that important pollinators like bees and butterflies are completely unaffected by the treatment. Talk to your local applicator about ordering bee-friendly mosquito control.
