The AMC Mosquito backyard guide

Can You Really Have a Mosquito-Free Yard?

An open yard is not a sealed space, so complete mosquito elimination is not a dependable service promise. Set a practical goal for the spaces you use and know how to request help when activity continues.

In this guide

Define what a better yard means to you.

Tell us where mosquitoes get in the way, whether you’re eating outside, gardening or playing with the kids.

If the patio is the main problem, we’ll start by checking the plants and water sources around it. Let us know how things are going after treatment.

Questions for evaluating a service plan

Let us know what changes in your yard.

A recurring schedule is not a promise of identical conditions every day between visits. Keep up routine maintenance and tell us when the yard changes. Useful updates include:

  • A new planter, stored item, or other place collecting water.
  • Landscaping or patio work that changes access or the layout.
  • A different seating or play area where you now spend time.
  • Continuing mosquito activity in a specific place and approximate time.
Walk through the patio maintenance checklist

Call us if mosquitoes are still a problem.

If you’re a recurring customer with mosquito trouble between scheduled treatments, contact us for a return visit, inspection, and appropriate re-treatment without an additional service charge for that guarantee visit. Describe what is happening rather than assuming the entire plan needs replacing.

The guarantee covers help with continuing mosquito trouble. It doesn’t promise that every mosquito will disappear. Keep using personal bite protection and following your veterinarian’s advice for pets.
