Frequently Asked Questions

Our mosquito and tick barrier control service is applied using a high-precision backpack sprayer targeting areas where pests live, rest, and hide — including shrubs, trees, under decks, and the underside of leaves. Treatment immediately reduces mosquito and tick activity on contact and repels new pests from entering your yard for weeks.

Absolutely. Our treatments are designed to be safe when used as directed. Once the formula fully dries — typically within 30 minutes — people and pets may return outdoors safely. We use Health Canada–approved, water-based formulas.

Mosquito treatments provide up to 30 days of protection per application. Tick treatments last up to 30 days. For continuous mosquito coverage, we recommend reapplication every 21–28 days throughout the season.

Our products are formulated to bond to surfaces as they dry, creating rain-resistant protection. If it rains within one hour of application, we will reapply the treatment at no additional cost.

No. You don't need to be home for service as long as our technicians have access to your outdoor areas. We'll send an SMS before arriving and a follow-up email with the full treatment log.

Our technicians place a small 8-inch lawn sign confirming treatment completion and send a follow-up email with detailed notes on what was treated, any observations, and the expected protection window.

Yes. Our mosquito and tick control service is highly effective even if your neighbors don't use it. The barrier spray protects your property perimeter and eliminates pests within your yard.

Yes. While no mosquito or tick control service can promise 100% elimination of all pests, we guarantee your satisfaction. If you're not satisfied within the protection window, we'll retreat your yard at no extra cost.

The most effective approach combines professional barrier spray with simple prevention measures: remove standing water, trim overgrown vegetation, and maintain a regular treatment schedule. BuzzSkito's seasonal programs keep mosquitoes controlled all summer.

Yes. We specialize in tick control for yard services. Ticks carry Lyme disease, making professional treatment essential for properties near wooded areas, ravines, or dense vegetation in the GTA.

Mosquito repellents work briefly on your body and require frequent reapplication. Professional mosquito control outdoors provides long-term protection by eliminating mosquitoes at the source — the vegetation and resting spots throughout your yard.

For continuous protection, we recommend mosquito treatments every 21–28 days. A full seasonal program of 5 treatments from May through September provides the best results.

The most effective way to keep mosquitoes away is a combination of professional barrier spray on a regular schedule plus elimination of standing water sources (birdbaths, gutters, tarps, plant saucers) that mosquitoes breed in.

The average mosquito lifespan is between two weeks and two months, depending on species and environmental conditions. Female mosquitoes live longer than males and are responsible for biting.

Our mosquito control treatments are weather-resistant within 30 minutes of application. We do not treat in heavy rain or high wind, as this affects application accuracy. We'll reschedule at no cost if weather prevents service.

The most common tick species in Ontario are the blacklegged tick (deer tick, Ixodes scapularis) — which is the primary carrier of Lyme disease — and the American dog tick. Both are active across the GTA from spring through fall.
