Mid-grade lots (1/4 to 1/2 acre): $79–$95 per treatment, billed every 21 days through the season (typically 8–10 treatments April-October). Larger lots (1+ acres): $115–$185 per treatment. Botanical option: 15-20% premium. Special-event single treatment: $145–$285 depending on yard size. ### Is it really safe for my kids and dog? Both treatments are safe for kids, pets, and pollinators once dry — typically 30 minutes after application. We don’t treat flowering plants where bees are actively foraging. We coordinate scheduling around school dismissals and dog-walk times. EPA-registered application protocols. ### How long does each treatment last? Pyrethrin: 18–22 days of active effectiveness (longer in cooler weather, shorter after heavy rain). Botanical: 14–18 days of active effectiveness. We schedule 21-day cycles to overlap protection so there’s no gap. ### What if it rains right after treatment? Pyrethrin needs about 2 hours to dry and bond before rain doesn’t affect it. If we’re forecast to have rain within 2 hours of scheduled treatment, we re-schedule for the next dry window. Heavy rain (1.5 inches or more) within 24 hours usually merits a partial re-treat at no charge. ### What about my mosquitoes coming from the neighbor’s yard? Honest answer: we can’t fully control that. Mosquitoes can fly 1-3 miles. What we CAN do is treat your property heavily enough that the resting/breeding sites on your land aren’t hospitable, which significantly cuts the population on YOUR property. Whole-block treatment programs are available if neighbors want to coordinate. ## Contact - Phone: +12255550163 - Email: schedule@bayoumosquito.example - Address: 8910 Highland Rd, Suite 4, Baton Rouge, LA, 70808 - Service area: Baton Rouge · Prairieville · Denham Springs · Zachary · Central · St. Francisville · Walker - Website: https://www.fastdigitalmarketing.com/examples/mosquito-control _This page is structured for AI answer engines.
