Frequently Asked QuestioNS
How does BuzzGuard apply its Mosquito and Tick Spray?
At BuzzGuard, we use professional backpack sprayers to apply our mosquito defence service. This approach allows our technicians to carefully treat key areas such as vegetation, shaded spaces, under decks, around buildings, and other landscape features where mosquitoes and ticks are commonly found. Our treatments are applied with a fine mist and are designed to help reduce mosquito activity for up to 21 days between scheduled visits.
What control products does BuzzGuard utilize?
BuzzGuard uses a synthetic product that contains a pyrethrin-based active ingredient derived from chrysanthemum flowers. All products are applied according to label directions and regulatory guidelines..
Which areas of my property will BuzzGuard treat?
Our mosquito defence service focuses on areas of your property where mosquitoes are most commonly found. This includes dense vegetation such as trees, shrubs, hedges, and ground cover, as well as shaded spaces beneath decks, stairways, and other landscape features.
Who performs the application at BuzzGuard?
Our mosquito defence service is performed by licensed technicians who are specially trained in managing mosquitoes and biting flies. All technicians are certified in accordance with regulatory standards set by the Ministry of the Environment.
What if my neighbor doesn’t use BuzzGuard? Will it still be effective?
Certainly! While mosquitoes can move between properties, our mosquito defence service is designed to help reduce mosquito activity within treated areas of your property by establishing a treated barrier in locations where mosquitoes commonly rest.
How quickly does BuzzGuard's Mosquito Defence take effect?
Many customers notice a reduction in mosquito activity shortly after treatment, with continued improvement over the following 24–48 hours. Results may vary based on weather conditions and environmental factors.
How long does BuzzGuard's Mosquito Defence last?
Our mosquito defence services are scheduled on a 21-day cycle throughout the season, a timing that aligns with the typical mosquito life cycle and helps maintain consistent coverage during peak activity periods.
Do I need to be present during BuzzGuard's service?
Your presence isn’t necessary during our service. We will keep you updated via email about our visit and send a follow-up once the service is complete.
How will I know BuzzGuard has been to my property?
Following each visit, you’ll receive an email confirming the service was completed, along with any notes or recommendations from your technician.
How long should I wait before going outside, or allowing my pets outside, after BuzzGuard's treatment?
We recommend waiting for treated areas to dry before resuming outdoor activities. This typically takes about 30 minutes, though drying times may vary depending on weather conditions.
