How long it takes for Mosquito Squad to work depends on treatment type, but barrier treatments provide noticeable reduction within few hours and full effectiveness within 24 hours. Mosquito Squad applies EPA-registered barrier sprays containing synthetic pyrethroids like bifenthrin and deltamethrin that kill adult mosquitoes on contact when sprayed directly, so mosquitoes present in yard at time of treatment die within minutes to few hours. Residual protection that kills mosquitoes landing on treated foliage afterward develops as spray dries, typically within 30 minutes, and reaches full residual effectiveness within 24 hours. Customers typically report significant reduction in bites within same day, with best results after 24 hours when product has fully bonded to leaves. For larvicides like Bti applied to standing water, it takes 24 hours to kill larvae. Natural essential oil barrier treatments may take slightly longer to show effect and provide shorter residual of 14 days. Mosquito Squad also offers automatic misting systems that provide continuous control with daily misting, taking few days to reduce population as system cycles. For one-time special event sprays applied 1 to 2 days before party, they work within hours for event. So barrier spray works same day, with full protection within 24 hours, lasting 21 days before re-treatment needed. If mosquitoes return quickly after rain, free re-service may be needed.
