Why one spray never holds

Mosquitoes don't come from the woods. They come from your yard.

The species that bite around houses breed in the standing water on your own property and rarely travel far, and a new generation can emerge in days. So we don't just fog the air and leave. We work all three layers, the way the life cycle demands.

01 · SOURCE

Break the breeding

We walk your property and treat the standing water where they hatch: gutters, saucers, low spots, drains. The step almost no service does.

02 · SHIELD

Hold the perimeter

A treated barrier on the shaded vegetation and resting spots where adults wait out the day. They land, they contact it, they're done.

03 · RHYTHM

Keep the cycle

We return on their 10 to 14 day clock so protection never lapses, or we install an automated misting system that runs itself.

This is what dusk is supposed to look like.

No smoke, no sprays in your hand, no going inside at 7pm. Just your yard, the way you pictured it when you bought the house.

The transparency ledger

What we spray, and why.

No mystery jug. Two product classes do the work, both governed by EPA registration, and you see exactly which products on every visit.

Pyrethroid barrier treatmentResidual, for adult mosquitoes
What it isA residual insecticide class chemically similar to pyrethrins, the compounds chrysanthemum flowers produce naturally.
Where, and whyApplied to shaded resting foliage: fence lines, leaf undersides, foundation beds. Knocks down adults on contact, then keeps working on the treated surface for weeks.
Bti larvicideBacterial, for standing water
What it isA naturally occurring soil bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, that targets mosquito larvae specifically rather than poisoning the water broadly.
Where, and whyDosed into standing water that cannot simply be tipped out: gutters, drains, fountains, pooled tarps. Ends the next generation where it starts.
EPA registrationThe governing system
What it isEvery product we apply is EPA-registered and applied according to its label, the controlling legal document for any pesticide.
Where, and whyDon't take our word for any of it. Look any product up yourself in the EPA label database.

Kids and pets

We treat while they're indoors, and the label rule is the house rule: off treated areas until dry. Once dry, treated areas are considered safe for people and pets under the label directions.

Pollinators, honestly

Residual products can harm bees on direct contact, so we avoid blooming plants, keep applications on shaded resting foliage, and time work away from pollinator activity. Keep bees? Tell us at the assessment and we plan around them.

The paper trail

Your service report lists the exact product and EPA registration number applied, every visit.

We haven't locked a fixed product inventory and won't pretend otherwise. What we commit to is disclosure: the label name and EPA number of everything used on your yard, in writing, each time, and every label available to you before we ever treat.

Why homeowners trust us

Honest about the bugs, and about the bill.

The guarantee is the whole model

They come back between visits? So do we, free. No re-booking fee, no argument. We only make money when the yard actually stays quiet.

We treat the source, not just the air

Fogging alone wears off in days. Finding and treating the standing water is why our protection actually holds for weeks.

$79, printed right on the site

Most services in this category make you call for a number. Our per-visit price is public, and the season plan is quoted against it, in writing, at your free assessment.

Duskproof is a new service, so we don't show customer reviews yet. The cards above describe how we work, not testimonials, and we will never invent one. Applications are performed by licensed technicians using EPA-registered products.

Straight answers

Questions homeowners actually ask.

What do you actually apply, and is it registered?

We use EPA-registered products, applied according to their labels. A typical visit pairs a residual treatment on the shaded vegetation where adult mosquitoes rest with a larvicide, such as Bti, for standing water that cannot simply be dumped. Before we treat, we tell you exactly which products we plan to use on your property, and you can read every label first.

Is it safe for kids and pets?

We treat when kids and pets are indoors, and the rule we follow is the one printed on every label: stay off treated areas until the application has dried. Once dry, treated areas are considered safe for people and pets under the product label directions. We also target resting vegetation and standing water, not play equipment, patio furniture, or dining surfaces.

What about bees and pollinators?

Honestly: the residual products used for mosquito control can harm bees on direct contact, which is why the label rules exist. We follow them. We do not spray blooming plants that pollinators are working, we keep applications on shaded resting foliage rather than open flowers, and we handle breeding water with larvicides like Bti that target mosquito larvae. If you keep bees or have a pollinator garden, tell us during the assessment and we will plan around it.

How fast does it work, and does it really cut the mosquitoes down?

You should feel the difference by your first evening: the treatment knocks down adults on contact, then keeps working on treated surfaces for weeks. Published field trials of residual barrier treatments, from university and mosquito-control researchers, have measured large reductions in the treated area for several weeks, though the exact number varies with the property, the species, and the weather. That variability is exactly why our guarantee exists: if they come back between visits, so do we, free.

What happens when it rains?

Once the application has dried, the residual bonds to the foliage and handles normal rain. A hard, prolonged washout can shorten its life, and we plan visits around the forecast for exactly that reason. If a storm knocks your protection down between scheduled visits, that is covered by the guarantee: we come back and re-treat at no charge.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. You can book a single visit before a backyard event, or run a season plan that keeps the 10 to 14 day rhythm going from spring through the first hard cool-down. Season plans save money per visit, but nothing auto-renews and you can stop whenever you want.

How does the misting system tier work?

For properties that want set-and-forget protection, we design and install a perimeter misting system controlled from an app, then maintain it on a service schedule. It releases a fine treatment mist on a timed cycle, typically around dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. It is quoted per property after the free yard assessment, since nozzle count and layout depend on your yard.
