Default buzzboss Mosquito control

I am looking into getting my yard sprayed by buzzboss, they have a package that they guarantee mosquito control for the season for $200. Has anyone used them, is it effective. Tell me about your experiences. I would love to get rid of those pesky blood suckers. web link for reference

Thanks

I am also looking into having these guys come out and spray my yard. Would definitely like to hear feedback if others have used them.

We bought a DynaTrap last year. It hangs on our deck and works great. More importantly no chemicals and no dead birds. We have a Martin Colony and a lot of other songbirds we enjoy.

Not sure if spraying your yard will really work. Those suckers travel with the wind and can fly to visit you from the neighbor yard.

I've been spraying the yard down with this for the last 3 years and I have to say, works pretty well. $130/gallon or so but I'm only halfway through the first gallon jug I bought with a 1/2 acre yard.

My question on this product is how many of the "good" bugs do you catch as well..:eg ladybugs etc?

They came a couple days ago. I have found a few dead bugs on the deck and a couple around the driveway. Nothing alive so far! Although it's only been 2 days like I said and haven't been outside a ton. I'm laying SOD on Saturday so I should get a better idea then

If I remember correctly it's a ultra concentrated garlic spray. The mosquitos hate the smell. So stay away. From what I remember from a video I watched last year your yard smells like garlic for a day or 2

Yeah the Mosquito Barrier is just garlic concentrate. It's 99.6% garlic as I recall from the label. And yeah, your yard stinks like garlic for a couple days after but it seems to last about 6-8 weeks.

I guess it works on all blood suckers. Vampires, mosquitoes, in laws...

Yeah, you need to chop the Vamps head off.
