How Barrier Spray Works
Instant, Long-Lasting Protection
Barrier spray works immediately on contact and keeps working for up to 21 days. Within just 30 minutes of application, your yard is ready for family and pets to enjoy again.
Targeted Treatment
Using backpack sprayers for precise application, we target shrubs, plants, flowers, and areas around ponds—where mosquitoes and ticks rest, feed, and breed. The barrier spray bonds to foliage and acts as a repellent for weeks.
Breaks the Breeding Cycle
We inspect your property for active larvae populations and treat them accordingly. This disrupts pests at every stage of their life cycle, stopping infestations before they begin.
Multi-Pest Protection
Our barrier spray is highly effective against mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and gnats—providing comprehensive protection from multiple biting pests with a single treatment.

Why Mosquitoes & Ticks Thrive Here
Adams and Frederick Counties provide ideal conditions for mosquitoes and ticks—but understanding their habits helps us control them.
Mosquito Biology
Breeding: Only need a bottle cap's worth of standing water to lay 100+ eggs
Development: Eggs to biting adult in as little as 7 days
Range: Most species travel less than 100 yards from breeding site—your mosquitoes are YOUR mosquitoes
Peak Activity: Dawn and dusk, but some species bite all day
Tick Biology
Habitat: Tall grass, leaf litter, wooded edges—waiting for a host to pass by
Questing: Climb vegetation and grab onto passing animals (or people)
Disease Risk: Can transmit Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other illnesses
Peak Season: Spring through fall, most active May-July
Bottom Line:
You can't eliminate every mosquito and tick, but you CAN dramatically reduce populations on your property through targeted barrier treatments and source reduction. That's what our program does.
Seasonal Treatment Schedule
April: Season Start
First treatment targets early-season mosquitoes and overwintering ticks before populations explode
May - September: Peak Season
Monthly treatments maintain protection during peak mosquito and tick activity
October: Season End
