At Alternative Earthcare, our mission is to protect your family from dangerous pests. Our specialists ensure that you stay bite-free by treating your property, and predominately where your family likes to hang out.

Our solution is created to last 21 days which coincides with the lifecycle of mosquitoes. We will then come back and treat again. Before using our solution, we will walk your property and eliminate all potential mosquito breeding sites, most commonly standing water. 

While it is important to partner with a professional mosquito control company to keep your family safe, there are a few steps you can take in between our treatments to stay mosquito-free. Create a habit to walk your property at least once a week and tip, toss, and turn!

Tip: Tip over items in your yard to reduce standing water! Monitor the following as common breeding habitats:

  • Bird Baths
  • Lawn Care Equipment
  • Tire Swings
  • Portable Firepits

Toss: Toss grass clippings, leaves, firewood, and piles of mulch, aka “yard trash”.  Check for accumulation of the following:

  • Fallen Branches
  • Grass Clippings

Turn: Turn over yard items that could hold water. We recommend you monitor the following:

  • Dog Water Bowls
  • Plant Saucers
  • Plastic Toys
