ADAM'S Mosquito Control Services
Why Control Mosquitoes?
All too often, people think the Minnesota State Bird is the mosquito. Mosquitoes spread diseases that kill people - millions of people overseas, but even many people in the united states. Not every mosquito mosquito bite spreads of disease, but every bite is annoying, and if there are enough around, they tend to drive us indoors or try various repellents.
Summers are short in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and mosquitoes can keep us from enjoying our backyards. They can make weddings and other parties memoriable, and not in a good way. At restaurants, it can close down outdoor dining areas early, or at office buildings with their own wetlands and water retention/treatment ponds, mosquitoes can be a concern for workers, especially near dock and other heavy traffic areas.
Diseases and Their Vectors (some affect people, some affect pets)
Mosquitoes cause more human suffering than any other organism. Over one million people die from mosquito-borne diseases every year. Not only can mosquitoes carry diseases that afflict humans, they also transmit several diseases and parasites that dogs and horses are very susceptible to. These include dog heartworm, West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalitis.
In addition, mosquito bites can cause severe skin irritation through an allergic reaction to the mosquito's saliva. This is what causes the red bump and itching. Mosquito vectored diseases include protozoan diseases such as malaria and viruses such as dengue, encephalitis and yellow fever.

ADAM'S Mosquito Control Option A: Party Mosquito Treatment
Especially useful, Adam's can treat prior to your special outdoor wedding, reception, graduation, corporate event, birthday, Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, or other special event.
ADAM'S Mosquito Control Option B: Regular Mosquito Treatments
Adam's can perform a barrier treatment and treat the foliage around your backyard or area of concern every three weeks in the summer. These treatments help control roughly 85% of the mosquitoes within the treatment area. They also help with fleas in the yard that are carried on raccoons, squirrels, and other wildlife, and help with ticks, which are carried on deer, mice, and other pests in your yard.
ADAM'S Mosquito Control Option C: Mosquito Misting System For Homes
Adam's can install small precision engineered misting nozzles in the areas you want to protect the most, as well as the areas mosquitoes like the most. These nozzles emit a very fine mist of insecticide (typically a botanical) every night around sunset and every morning around sunrise which gives you the best possible mosquito control available, all season long. It is easy to use, fully automatic, almost disappears into the landscaping, and allows you to reclaim your backyard, terrace, and enjoy summer in the midwest.
ADAM'S Mosquito Control Option D: Mosquito Misting System For Cabins
Similar to Option C, Option D is for those that are looking for a less expensive system, perhaps because they only use their cabin every weekend and only want insecticides applied when they are there and feel the need. This is a unique offering Adam's.
