Fall is undoubtedly my favorite season. It's no surprise that my fondness stems from the cooler temperatures, the excitement of Halloween, and the absence of mosquitoes. My strong dislike for these insects is simply because they seem to have a particular affinity for me.
As Spring transitions into Summer, I can't help but feel a sense of dread knowing that my ongoing struggle with these bloodsuckers is about to begin. I once read that mosquitoes are drawn to specific blood types. While I don’t have any unique blood type, they still seem to target me whenever I step outside.
I've become quite skilled at making a swift escape from my front door to the car, all in an effort to dodge those annoying little creatures.
During the summer of 2022, I was thrilled to discover Bee Friendly Pest Control, a local company dedicated to eliminating mosquitoes from your yard. They not only effectively remove these pests but also do so without using pesticides or harmful chemicals. The best part? Their methods are safe for the local honey bee population and all other pollinators!
"they use food-grade essential oils"
Bee Friendly Pest Control employs food-grade essential oils such as thyme, garlic, rosemary, peppermint, cinnamon, and clove, blended with natural ingredients like salt and vinegar to effectively repel mosquitoes. Not only do they eliminate these pests, but the pleasant aroma lingers afterward!
"After each treatment, my kids can enjoy outdoor play right away. No waiting"
There’s no overpowering chemical scent in the environment. As a mother of two boys, I prioritize safety, and I appreciate that the sprays are safe for my children. After treatment, my kids can enjoy outdoor play right away.
Not only do they eliminate mosquitoes, but they also assist in controlling Lantern Flies! Initially, I was skeptical when I heard this, but by Spring 2023, I observed a significant decrease in Lantern Flies in my yard compared to the previous year. This year, I've only spotted a few.
My experience with Bee Friendly Pest Control has been incredibly positive! If the idea of protecting bees while keeping mosquitoes at bay isn't persuasive enough, check out the 10 reasons below for why you should opt for a pesticide-free summer.
