What spray Mosquito Squad uses includes EPA-registered barrier sprays containing synthetic pyrethroids and natural pyrethrins, plus larvicides and essential oil options, similar to other professional mosquito control companies. Mosquito Squad's standard traditional barrier spray uses synthetic pyrethroids such as bifenthrin, deltamethrin, and permethrin, which are man-made versions of natural insecticidal compounds found in chrysanthemum flowers, targeting nervous system of mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas, killing on contact and providing residual protection for about 21 days on foliage, shrubs, fences, and yard perimeter where mosquitoes rest during day. They also use natural pyrethrins derived from chrysanthemums for customers wanting botanical-based option, though residual is shorter, about 14 days. For standing water that cannot be drained, Mosquito Squad uses larvicides containing Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, or Bti, which is natural bacteria that kills mosquito larvae but is safe for people, pets, and wildlife, and insect growth regulators like methoprene. They also offer natural barrier spray using essential oils such as cedarwood, rosemary, and lemongrass for customers preferring chemical-free, though less effective and shorter lasting. For automatic misting systems, they use diluted pyrethroid solution in misting nozzles. All products are EPA-registered and applied by trained technicians following label directions, avoiding blooming flowers and ponds to protect pollinators.
