>>> ONE
>>> ONE OF THE BIGGEST BUMMERS IN SUMMERS ARE MOSQUITOES.
THANK YOU FOR TALKING WITH ME
TODAY.
TODAY.
TODAY. >>
TODAY. >> THANK YOU, JOANNE, IT IS A
PLEASURE TO BE ON.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. HOW IS MOSQUITO SQUAD DIFFERENT
FROM OTHER COMPETITORS.
>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
WE STARTED IN THIS BUSINESS TEN
YEARS AGO.
YEARS AGO. THEY STARTED WITH THE MISTING
SYSTEM FOR OWNERS WHICH IS
QUITE EXPENSIVE AND ALONG,
DURING THAT TIME, WE WORKED
WITH MANUFACTURERS AND THEY
CAME OUT WITH THE TIME-RELEASED
PRODUCT.
PRODUCT.
PRODUCT. DID NOT REQUIRE HOMEOWNERS TO
HAVE TO INVEST IN THE SYSTEM.
THESE HERE, USE BACK PACK
SPRAYERS AND WE HAVE BEEN USING
THESE FOR ABOUT NINE YEARS NOW.
WE DO A -- WHAT WE CALL AN
INSTANT KNOCKDOWN WHICH, WHEN
WE COME OUT, IT IMMEDIATELY
WORKS ON MOSQUITOES AND TICKS
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A TIME
RELEASE WHICH ALLOWS PRODUCTS
TO LAST FOR THREE WEEKS.
SO, THAT'S WHEN OUR SERVICE
DOES.
DOES.
DOES. IT
DOES. IT COMES BY EVERY THREE WEEKS
TO TREAT PEOPLE'S PROPERTIES.
>> AND IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO
KILL ALL MOSQUITOES AND TICKS?
>> TO KILL ALL PROBABLY
REQUIRES GETTING OUTSIDE FOR
THE SAFETY ZONE.
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US
FOR CHILDREN AND PET.
IT IS PET FRIENDLY, CHILD SAFE
FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS.
AND ALL WE DO IS WE JUST MAKE
SURE THAT, WHEN WE TREAT, THAT
KIDS AND PETS, THEY ARE INSIDE.
15 MINUTES LATER, IT IS SAFE TO
GO BACK OUTSIDE.
>> THAT'S AMAZING.
LIKE IF YOU GET YOUR YARD
TREATED, HOW CAN YOU BE SURE
THAT YOUR NEIGHBORS MOSQUITOES
AND WHAT NOT DON'T COME
CRUISING INTO YOUR YARD.
>> THAT'S A GREAT, GREAT
QUESTION.
QUESTION.
QUESTION. THAT APPLIES TO THE TIME
RELEASE THAT WE DO.
THE IMPLICATION THAT WE PUT
OUT, IT WILL LAST THREE WEEKS.
WE TYPICALLY HID THE UNDERSIDES
OF GREENERY AND IT WILL STAY
AND IT WILL LAST THROUGH RAINS.
IT WILL STAY VERY EFFECTIVE AND
MOSQUITOES, BY THE WAY, DON'T
TYPICALLY FLY VERY FAR.
THEY ARE NOT GOOD FLIERS AND
THEY PLAY LOW.
WHEN THEY LAND, THE TIME
RELEASE DOES WORK TO ELIMINATE
THE MOSQUITO PROBLEMS FROM
NEIGHBORS COMING OVER INTO YOUR
YARD.
YARD.
YARD. >>
YARD. >> I HAVE TO ASK THIS A LITTLE
MOSQUITO-LIKE TRIVIA AND FACT
ABOUT THIS.
ABOUT THIS. IS IT TRUE THAT MOSQUITOES ARE
MORE ATTRACTED TO SOME PEOPLE
THAN OTHERS?
THAN OTHERS? IS THIS TRUE?
>> ACTUALLY, IT IS.
THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH RESEARCH
DONE AND THERE IS MORE AND MORE
INFORMATION COMING OUT ALL THE
TIME.
TIME.
TIME. DIFFERENT PEOPLE, MOSQUITOES
SENSE THE CARBON DIOXIDE.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH BLOOD
TYPES THAT ARE MORE ATTRACTIVE
THAN OTHERS.
THAN OTHERS. IT IS INTERESTING THAT
MOSQUITOES ARE DEFINITELY MORE
ATTRACTED TO SOME PEOPLE THAN
OTHERS.
OTHERS.
OTHERS. >> AND AS FAR AS YARDS GO, ARE
THERE MARIAS THAT THERE DRAW
MORE MOSQUITOES?
MORE MOSQUITOES? >> THE NATURAL HABITAT IS THE
UNDERSIDE OF LEAVES, HEAVY
GREENERY, SHRUBBERY.
GREENERY, SHRUBBERY. THEY PREFER SHADES.
THEY FEED OFF THE UNDERSIDE OF
LEAVES.
LEAVES.
LEAVES. THE FEMALES, WHEN THEY ARE
REALLY TO LAY THEIR EGGS, THEY
ARE LOOKING FOR STAGNANT
WATERS.
WATERS.
WATERS. PLACES WITH STAGNANT WATERS ARE
BIG BREEDING GROUND FOR
MOSQUITOES.
MOSQUITOES. ANYWHERE THAT HAS STAGNANT
WATER FOR THREE TO FOUR DAYS
ARE BIG BREEDING GROUNDS.
>> ANYTHING THAT HAS STANDING
WATER.
WATER.
WATER. BIRD BATHS ARE NATURAL HABITAT.
WE DON'T SUGGEST GETTING RID OF
THE WATER BUT TURNING IT OVER
EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS, PUTTING
FRESH WATER IN THERE.
THAT WILL HELP ELIMINATE A LOT
OF THE BREEDING.
IF YOU HAVE THINGS -- THERE'S A
LOT OF PLASTIC KID TOYS AND
THINGS LIKE THAT THAT, AFTER
RAIN, CAN HOLD STAGNANT WATER.
LITTLE KIDS' SWIMMING TOOLS.
TURN IT OVER WHEN YOU ARE NOT
USING IT.
USING IT.
USING IT. GET RID OF THE STANDING WATER.
THAT'S A BIG, BIG THING.
