    GeoMosquito Is Growing in Roswell & Atlanta And You’re a Big Part of Why!
    2025/05/28
    Hey friends, Wow—what a year it’s been. This time last year, I was just another mom in Peachtree Corners frustrated with the constant battle against mosquitoes in our backyard. I had tried the big-name franchises, the DIY hacks, the citronella candles—you name it. But it wasn’t until I met Geoff Krstovic, the mastermind behind GeoMosquito’s custom essential oil solution, that things truly changed. Fast forward to today—and I’m not just a happy customer. I’m a co-owner. GeoMosquito was founded on a simple idea: families deserve to enjoy their outdoor spaces without getting eaten alive—and without compromising their health, their pets, or the planet.

    LifeOutside: Your Family’s Guide to Outdoor Fun in Roswell, Johns Creek, Peachtree Corners, Dunwoody & Alpharetta This May
    2025/05/14
    Hey friends, Can we all just take a minute to celebrate the fact that we made it through another Georgia winter? I don’t know about you, but my family is so ready to trade in homework folders for pool towels, cleats, and popsicles. The buzz (and not the mosquito kind!) is real—swim team practices are starting, spring sports are in full swing, and school countdowns have officially begun. That magical time of year is here where our yards become the hangout spot—where neighbors wave over fences, kids dart through sprinklers, and the grill finally sees the light of day again. Let’s talk about getting your yard ready for all of it. As a mom of three and a backyard enthusiast, I know the drill: Clean those gutters before the first big summer rain. Trim back spring overgrowth—trust me, it gets jungle-like fast. Pull out those yard toys and give them a good scrub. A great natural way to clean mold and mildew off outdoor gear? Try white vinegar and baking soda—it’s safe, effective, and doesn’t leave behind anything funky for little hands. Now, here’s the big one—don’t wait to treat your yard for mosquitoes. This is exactly when those little monsters start hatching, and once they’re here, it’s harder to keep them away. At GeoMosquito, we’re already helping families across the area protect their yards using our custom essential-oil blend that’s safe for kids, pets, pollinators, and the planet. No harsh chemicals, no regrets—just results you can feel the first time you step outside and don’t get eaten alive. We’re proud to serve families in Peachtree Corners, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Roswell, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Marietta, East Cobb, Sandy Springs, Buckhead, and beyond. So, what can you do outside in May? If you’re looking for ideas to get moving as a family: Dunwoody Nature Center is hosting outdoor family events and free play days. Roswell’s Riverside Park is a great place for river watching or picnic-style soccer games. Johns Creek has Summer Kickoff events with food trucks and live music—perfect for a Friday night out with kids. Peachtree Corners Town Green has open lawn movies and concerts coming up. Alpharetta’s Wills Park has splash pads, tennis, and walking trails that kids love to explore. Let’s make this the summer we ditch the screens, lather on the sunscreen, and #LiveLifeOutside—together. From swing sets to swim meets, this is what memories are made of. And GeoMosquito is here to make sure mosquitoes don’t make the guest list. Cheers to the season ahead, ErinThe post LifeOutside: Your Family’s Guide to Outdoor Fun in Roswell, Johns Creek, Peachtree Corners, Dunwoody & Alpharetta This May first appeared on Geo Mosquito-Natural & Eco-Friendly Mosquito Control l Roswell.The post LifeOutside: Your Family’s Guide to Outdoor Fun in Roswell, Johns Creek, Peachtree Corners, Dunwoody & Alpharetta This May appeared first on Geo Mosquito-Natural & Eco-Friendly Mosquito Control l Roswell.

  • Still Getting Bit? Let’s Talk About What Your Mosquito Spray Company Isn’t Telling You

    Still Getting Bit? Let’s Talk About What Your Mosquito Spray Company Isn’t Telling You
    2025/05/05
    Hey neighbors, Let’s be honest for a second. If you’ve ever walked out into your backyard, paid top dollar for a mosquito spray company—and still ended up getting eaten alive—you are not alone. I’ve been there. Before GeoMosquito, we were shelling out hundreds every summer for “professional mosquito control,” and guess what? The mosquitoes didn’t seem to care. We’d call for a re-spray, they’d come out with their tank and hoses, and within days… bam, back to swatting, scratching, and moving the party back inside. So what’s really going on? Traditional Mosquito Sprays: More Chemicals, Less Control When you hire most mosquito companies near you, they show up and blast your yard with a synthetic chemical cocktail—typically pyrethroids or permethrin-based sprays. These compounds are designed to kill on contact, but they break down fast in sunlight and rain. That’s why the treatment only works for a few days, and even less during Georgia’s summer downpours. And when you call them back for a “free re-spray”? They’re not improving the solution. They’re just doubling down on the same toxic mix—or switching to something even stronger. Here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud: You’re paying for chemicals that don’t work long-term and may be harmful to your pets, your kids, and even you. Your dogs and cats walk through that underbrush, roll in that grass, lick their paws, and bring those chemicals into your home. Every single day. And in August—when mosquito season is brutal in Peachtree Corners, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Dunwoody, Marietta, Brookhaven, Buckhead, Sandy Springs, and East Cobb—traditional sprays? Completely ineffective. The bugs are too aggressive, too populated, and too resistant. The GeoMosquito Difference: Our Formula. Our Mission. Your Results. At GeoMosquito, we decided to do things very differently. We knew there had to be a way to kill and repel mosquitoes without putting our families, pets, and pollinators at risk. So we created our own formula—an essential-oil-based solution that we manufacture ourselves, and only use for our customers. That means no one else has access to what we’re using—because we’re not just a spray crew; we’re inventors and protectors. Our solution is: Plant-based Safe for pets Non-toxic for pollinators like bees and butterflies Longer-lasting, with repellent and knock-down power that works through even the thickest of Georgia summers Only available in Peachtree Corners, Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek, Dunwoody, Buckhead, Sandy Springs, East Cobb, Brookhaven, and Marietta And because it’s based on essential oils, it doesn’t just mask the problem—it disrupts the mosquito lifecycle, repels new populations, and keeps your yard bite-free for the long haul. Search “Mosquito Spray Near Me”? You Deserve Better. Don’t settle for another overpriced “spray and pray” service. If you’re looking for true mosquito abatement in Atlanta’s northern suburbs, you need a company that actually understands the problem and offers a real solution—not a chemical Band-Aid. So go ahead—Google mosquito spray near me or mosquito companies near me—but remember: The only one using a safe, proprietary essential oil blend that’s both effective and eco-conscious is GeoMosquito. Let’s Take Back the Yard, Together We’re proud to protect homes across Peachtree Corners, Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, East Cobb, Buckhead, Brookhaven, and Marietta—with hundreds of happy families already enjoying mosquito-free backyards. Want in? Join the movement. Join the difference. Join GeoMosquito. Visit GeoMosquito.com today to schedule your first treatment or talk to our team.

  • “From the Chattahoochee to My Backyard: Why I Chose GeoMosquitos Eco-Friendly Mosquito Control”

    “From the Chattahoochee to My Backyard: Why I Chose GeoMosquitos Eco-Friendly Mosquito Control”
    2025/04/29
    Hi there — Erin here, co-owner of GeoMosquito. I want to share something a little personal today — a story about where I live, and why I’m so passionate about protecting it. I live right off the Chattahoochee River in Peachtree Corners, surrounded by trees, wildlife, and, yes… mosquitoes. A lot of mosquitoes. Living near the river is what first made me look for eco-friendly mosquito control. I knew I needed to protect my family — but I didn’t want to harm the ecosystem I love being part of. That’s what started my journey as a customer with GeoMosquito, and eventually led me to become a co-owner. Because here’s the thing: we don’t just live on the land — we live with it. And in Metro Atlanta, that land includes a lot of water. Mosquitoes Love Water — But That Doesn’t Mean You Have to Hate It In our area, bodies of water are everywhere — and every one of them is a potential mosquito hotspot. Here’s what we’re talking about: Rivers and Streams Like the Chattahoochee, which winds through Roswell, Duluth, Peachtree Corners, and beyond. These flowing bodies of water don’t usually breed mosquitoes themselves, but the pools and puddles along the banks do. Especially after a heavy rain. Backyard Pools and Hot Tubs If you’ve got a pool in Marietta, Johns Creek, or Dunwoody, you’re not off the hook. Pools with proper circulation and treatment aren’t mosquito breeding sites — but pool covers with standing water or clogged drains absolutely are. Retention Ponds These are common in subdivisions and commercial developments across Atlanta. They’re designed to hold water after rain — but that often means stagnant edges where mosquitoes thrive. Decorative Ponds and Fountains Beautiful, sure — but if the water isn’t moving or filtered, it’s a mosquito invitation. Storm Drains and Drainage Ditches You might not even think of these as bodies of water — but if they hold water for more than 5–7 days, they’re breeding sites. So What Can You Do to Keep Mosquitoes at Bay Around Water? Here are a few tips I’ve learned — both as a homeowner and now as someone who works in this every day: Keep water moving. Mosquitoes need stagnant water to lay eggs. Aerators, fountains, and even small pumps can help keep decorative water features mosquito-free.Empty standing water weekly. Things like birdbaths, plant trays, pool covers, and forgotten buckets are some of the worst offenders.Watch the edges. Even in big bodies of water like retention ponds or streams, it’s often the muddy edges or overflow areas that mosquitoes love.Use eco-friendly larvicides when needed. We use targeted, non-toxic larvicides that kill mosquito larvae without harming fish, frogs, or pollinators.Get a professional assessment. We do full property evaluations to identify hidden breeding spots you might never think of. Why Eco-Friendly Mosquito Control Matters Here in Atlanta Atlanta — especially communities like Duluth, Johns Creek, Roswell, and Peachtree Corners — is blessed with beautiful green spaces and rich biodiversity. From the river corridors to the shady tree canopies, we live in one of the prettiest parts of Georgia. That’s why at GeoMosquito, we focus on eco-conscious solutions: We use targeted treatments, not wide-spray fogs that kill everything in sight.Our sprays are bee-friendly and pollinator-safe, so your garden still thrives.Our technicians are trained to use just what’s needed — no more, no less. Because taking care of mosquitoes shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment. Final Thoughts from the River’s Edge Living on the Chattahoochee has taught me a lot — about nature, about balance, and about what it means to be a steward of the land. Mosquito control doesn’t have to be harsh or harmful. It can be smart. It can be safe. And it can be effective without disrupting the environment around you. If you live near water — whether it’s a backyard stream in Dunwoody, a pond in Marietta, or just a few shady corners in Johns Creek — we’re here to help. Let’s protect your family, your property, and the beautiful natural world we get to call home.

  • “Why Mosquito Control Isn’t Just for Backyards: How Commercial Spaces Can Benefit from Professional Treatment”

    “Why Mosquito Control Isn’t Just for Backyards: How Commercial Spaces Can Benefit from Professional Treatment”
    2025/04/22
    Hey friends — Erin here, co-owner of GeoMosquito. If you’ve heard my story, you know I started out just like a lot of our customers: tired of getting eaten alive every time I stepped into my backyard. But today, I want to talk about something I didn’t think about when I first started getting mosquito control at my home… What about your business? Whether you’re managing a hotel in Alpharetta, running a restaurant in Decatur, leasing office space in Peachtree Corners, or operating a mixed-use building in downtown Atlanta — mosquitoes aren’t just a nuisance. They’re a liability. And yes, professional mosquito control for commercial properties is a real thing… and it might be exactly what your business needs. Why Commercial Mosquito Control Matters Let’s get real — no customer wants to swat mosquitoes on your patio or wait in the lobby scratching their ankles. And no employee wants to walk through a cloud of bugs just to get into the office. We’re not just talking about discomfort — we’re talking about: Customer satisfactionEmployee productivityHealth & safetyReputation management If you’re showing off outdoor amenities — like dining patios in Duluth, rooftop lounges in Johns Creek, or garden walkways in Marietta — then you know the experience matters. Mosquitoes can completely ruin that vibe. We can work with: RestaurantsHotelsOffice buildingsChurchesDaycares and private schoolsEvent venues …and trust me, the difference is night and day. Here’s How Mosquito Control Helps Businesses Thrive Let’s break it down into what people actually search for online — and what you might be wondering as a business owner. “Commercial mosquito treatment near me” We’ve got you covered from Decatur to Dunwoody. GeoMosquito serves businesses across Metro Atlanta, with flexible scheduling and discreet service. We work before or after hours to avoid disrupting your operation. “Safe mosquito spray for outdoor dining” This comes up a lot. And it’s important! Our formulas are people-safe, pet-safe, and EPA-registered. That means your staff, customers, and guests won’t be exposed to harsh chemicals. You can even reopen outdoor areas the same day we treat. “How to get rid of mosquitoes around my building” We don’t just spray and go. Our trained technicians inspect your property, identify standing water or hidden breeding areas, and treat with precision. Whether it’s an office park in Peachtree Corners or a boutique hotel in Atlanta, we create a plan tailored to your space. Mosquitoes Are Bad for Business — But They’re Not Hard to Beat When your business relies on outdoor spaces — whether for customers, employees, or tenants — mosquitoes aren’t just annoying, they’re costly. Imagine this: A guest checks out of your hotel early because they couldn’t enjoy the pool without bites.A client cuts their outdoor event short because the bugs were unbearable.Your restaurant’s patio sits empty on a perfect spring night. All of that? Preventable. When Should You Start Mosquito Treatment for Your Commercial Property? Short answer? Now. March and April are the best months to start — before the population explodes. By May, mosquitoes are in full swing across Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Decatur, and beyond. Getting ahead of them now means you’ll have a much more comfortable — and profitable — summer. Final Thoughts from a Business Owner Who’s Been There As someone who went from frustrated homeowner to co-owner of a mosquito control company, I can tell you this: mosquitoes don’t care if it’s a backyard, a boardroom, or a brunch patio. But your customers do. If you own or manage a business in Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Marietta, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Peachtree Corners, Duluth, Decatur, Kennesaw, Norcross, Chamblee, or anywhere in between, we’d love to help you create a more welcoming, bite-free space for everyone who walks through your doors. Let GeoMosquito show you how easy — and effective — commercial mosquito control can be.

    “What Kind of Mosquito Is Biting You? A Backyard Breakdown from a Georgia Resident Turned GeoMosquito Co-Owner”
    2025/04/15
    Hey there — Erin here! I live in Peachtree Corners and now co-own GeoMosquito, but I actually started out just like a lot of you — as a frustrated customer who couldn’t enjoy my backyard without getting eaten alive. Now that I’m on the other side of this (and way deeper into the science than I ever thought I’d be), I want to break down what’s actually buzzing around your yard here in Georgia — and when and where you’re most likely to run into them. Because not all mosquitoes are created equal… and once you know what you’re dealing with, you can fight back smarter. Let’s Talk Mosquito Zones: Why Your Backyard in Alpharetta Isn’t Like the One in Duluth We cover a lot of ground at GeoMosquito — from Roswell to Johns Creek, over to Dunwoody, and down through Marietta and Atlanta proper. And while the general climate is the same, the micro-environments are totally different. For example: If you’re in Duluth or Roswell, and you’re near the Chattahoochee or a creek, you’re dealing with more standing water and more floodwater mosquitoes.If you’re in Alpharetta with tons of trees and shaded areas, container-breeding mosquitoes love your flower pots, gutters, and shaded planters.Over in Marietta or Dunwoody, those mature neighborhoods with older trees and lots of vegetation? Prime territory for shade-loving species. So when we say “custom mosquito plan,” this is what we mean — because the same approach doesn’t work in every city, or even every yard. Meet the Big Three: The Mosquitoes of Metro Atlanta Here are the three main troublemakers we see in Georgia — and how to spot them based on when and where they show up: Aedes albopictus (aka the Asian Tiger Mosquito) When you’ll see them: Daytime biters! Especially active early morning and late afternoon — think sipping coffee or watching your kids play after school.Where they live: They breed in containers — flower pots, buckets, gutters, even bottle caps with a bit of water.Cities we see them most: High numbers in Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Dunwoody — basically anywhere with manicured landscaping and lots of container plants.Fun fact: These are the “ankle biters” — aggressive and sneaky. Culex pipiens (aka the Common House Mosquito) When you’ll see them: Evening and nighttime — they love dusk and early dark hours.Where they live: Catch basins, storm drains, and anywhere water sits undisturbed.Hot spots: Marietta, Atlanta, and areas with older stormwater systems.Fun fact: These are the ones known to transmit West Nile virus, especially later in the summer. Psorophora columbiae (aka Floodwater Mosquito) When you’ll see them: After heavy rain or flooding, typically during the day.Where they live: Large wetland areas, floodplains, temporary pools of water.Seen in: Roswell, Duluth, and anywhere near rivers, streams, or trails.Fun fact: They’re strong fliers and can travel miles to find you. Not the guests you want at your barbecue. So When Should You Start Treating Your Yard? This surprises people, but the answer is: as early as March. Yep, now is actually the best time to start. The earlier we treat, the better we can control the early population before they start laying eggs. Mosquitoes breed fast — and if you wait until you’re already getting bitten, you’re playing catch-up. In fact, if you’re listening to this from Roswell or Peachtree Corners, you’ve probably already seen them buzzing around after that warm weekend we just had. Here’s How to Take Control Want fewer bites this summer? Here’s what I recommend: Start treatments early — preferably by the end of March or early April.Dump standing water weekly — especially in things like bird baths, plant trays, and kids’ toys.Keep your yard tidy — mosquitoes love cool, damp, shady areas.Work with a mosquito-only company — like us at GeoMosquito! We don’t just spray and hope. We walk your property, identify breeding zones, and tailor the treatment to your yard, not some cookie-cutter formula. Final Thoughts from One Backyard Warrior to Another As someone who went from dodging mosquitoes in my own yard to running a company that helps thousands of Georgia homeowners reclaim their outdoor spaces — I promise you this: You can enjoy your yard this summer. You don’t have to live in long sleeves and citronella candles. And yes — the right treatment, at the right time, really does make all the difference. If you’re in Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Marietta, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Peachtree Corners, Duluth, Decatur, Kennesaw, Norcross, and Chamblee, and want help getting ahead of mosquito season — we’re here for you. Let’s make this your best outdoor season yet.The post “What Kind of Mosquito Is Biting You?

  • How to Choose the Right Mosquito Company, A Personal Story from Peachtree Corners to Co-Owner of GeoMosquito

    How to Choose the Right Mosquito Company, A Personal Story from Peachtree Corners to Co-Owner of GeoMosquito
    2025/04/08
    Hey there! Erin Rhatigan here — and today, I want to talk to all my neighbors in Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Marietta, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Peachtree Corners, Duluth, Decatur, and Chamblee. Let’s have a real conversation about something that sneaks up on us every spring and hangs around all summer — mosquitoes. More specifically: who you hire to handle them. I’ve been on both sides of this — first as a frustrated customer, and now as a co-owner of GeoMosquito. And let me tell you, I’ve learned a lot along the way. So Here’s How I Used to Handle Mosquitoes… and Why It Wasn’t Working Like most folks, I started by just calling the same company that handled my indoor pest control. You know — the ones who do the quarterly sprays, take care of ants, roaches, and the occasional mouse. They offered to “add on” mosquito treatment for a little extra. Sounded easy, right? But here’s the thing: the results were hit or miss. I started to notice something — the quality of the mosquito service really came down to who the technician was that day. Sometimes great, sometimes… not so much. And meanwhile, I was still getting eaten alive in my backyard. The Big Realization: Mosquitoes Deserve a Specialist, Not a Side Hustle What I learned (after more bites than I’d like to admit) is this: pest control companies treat mosquitoes like an add-on. It’s not their focus. They’re juggling everything from termites to squirrels, and mosquitoes get the leftover attention. That’s when I found GeoMosquito — a company that really focuses on mosquito control. And let me tell you, everything changed. Here’s What Made GeoMosquito So Different (And Why I Joined the Team) The moment I switched to GeoMosquito, I could tell the difference wasn’t just in the technician — it was also in the solution they used. The treatment itself worked better, lasted longer, and targeted the right areas. Here’s what stood out: Our techs actually walk the yard and identify problem areas — not just spray a quick perimeter and call it a day.We use a different formula — more effective, and still safe for kids, pets, and pollinators.Our entire team is laser-focused on mosquitoes. That’s it. No distractions. No bundled services. Just outdoor comfort, done right. Whether you’re in Alpharetta with a big backyard, in Roswell near the river, or tucked into a shady lot in Dunwoody, we know how different every yard is — and we treat it that way. Quick PSA: You Can Totally Unbundle Your Pest and Mosquito Services This is something I wish I’d known sooner — you have every right to unbundle your mosquito service from your main pest control company. Here’s what you can do: Ask for a line-item breakdown of your bill — see exactly what you’re paying for mosquito treatment.Cancel just the mosquito part of your service — you’re not locked in.Bring in a specialist — like GeoMosquito — who focuses on outdoor mosquito control. If you live in Marietta, Johns Creek, Duluth, or anywhere in the Atlanta area, you’re not stuck with “bundled” treatments that don’t really work. Bottom Line: You Deserve Better Than a One-Size-Fits-All Approach Mosquito season in Georgia is no joke — and if you’re spending time outdoors, you deserve to enjoy your porch, deck, or backyard without swatting every few seconds. I used to think all mosquito services were the same — now I know better. The right technician using the right solution makes all the difference. That’s what I found at GeoMosquito, and it’s what we bring to every yard we treat. So if you’re tired of wasting money on mosquito services that don’t work — or just want to enjoy your yard again — give us a shout. We’re local, we’re focused, and we’re here to help.The post How to Choose the Right Mosquito Company, A Personal Story from Peachtree Corners to Co-Owner of GeoMosquito first appeared on Geo Mosquito-Natural & Eco-Friendly Mosquito Control l Roswell.The post How to Choose the Right Mosquito Company, A Personal Story from Peachtree Corners to Co-Owner of GeoMosquito appeared first on Geo Mosquito-Natural & Eco-Friendly Mosquito Control l Roswell.

  • Spring Planting in Atlanta: Tips for a Beautiful and Mosquito-Free Garden

    Spring Planting in Atlanta: Tips for a Beautiful and Mosquito-Free Garden
    2025/03/29

    Hello, fellow gardeners! I’m Erin Rhatigan, a former customer turned co-owner of GeoMosquito. As spring approaches, many of us in the Atlanta area are eager to get our hands dirty and rejuvenate our gardens. Let’s explore some essential tips for successful spring planting, including selecting deer-resistant plants, preparing your garden beds, and ensuring a comfortable, mosquito-free outdoor space.
    Atlanta’s Planting Zone
    Atlanta is located in USDA Hardiness Zone 7b. This means our average minimum winter temperature ranges from 5°F to 10°F, providing a favorable climate for a variety of plants. Understanding our zone helps in selecting plants that will thrive in our specific conditions.
    Spring Planting Timeline
    In Zone 7b, the last expected frost date is around March 27, giving us a growing season of approximately 231 days. Here’s a quick guide to what you can plant during the spring months:
    • March: Beets, cauliflower, radishes, and turnips are ideal for early spring planting.
    • April and May: As the soil warms, consider planting beans, cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes. These vegetables thrive in the warmer temperatures of late spring.
    Deer-Resistant Plants
    Deer can be a common challenge for Atlanta gardeners. Incorporating deer-resistant plants can help protect your garden. Here are some options:
    • Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum spp.): Known for their vibrant fall blooms, chrysanthemums are less appealing to deer.
    • Coleus (Coleus spp.): With its colorful foliage, coleus adds beauty to shaded areas and is typically avoided by deer.
    • Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata): This flowering vine is not only deer-resistant but also attracts hummingbirds.
    Preparing Your Garden Beds
    Proper preparation of your plant beds sets the foundation for a thriving garden:
    1. Clear Debris: Remove any leftover plant material from the previous season to prevent disease and pest issues.
    2. Amend the Soil: Incorporate compost or other organic matter to enrich the soil and improve drainage.
    3. Mulch: Applying a layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds.
    Preventing Mosquito Breeding Grounds
    While enjoying your garden, it’s essential to minimize mosquito habitats:
    • Remove Standing Water: Empty any water that has collected in old pots, gardening tools, or children’s toys. Mosquitoes can breed in as little as a teaspoon of water.
    • Proper Storage: Store unused pots and tools in a dry area to prevent water accumulation.
    • Regular Maintenance: Ensure birdbaths, fountains, and gutters are cleaned regularly to prevent stagnant water.
    Enhancing Your Garden with Pollinator-Friendly Plants
    Supporting pollinators not only aids the environment but also enhances your garden’s productivity. Consider planting:
    • Salvia (Salvia spp.): These vibrant flowers attract bees and hummingbirds and are known for their drought tolerance and deer resistance.
    • Lavender (Lavandula spp.): With its fragrant blooms, lavender draws pollinators and adds a soothing scent to your garden.
    • Creeping Thyme (Thymus serpyllum): This groundcover offers small flowers that attract bees and can withstand foot traffic.
    Ensure a Comfortable Gardening Experience
    To fully enjoy your outdoor space this spring, consider initiating mosquito control treatments in March or April. At GeoMosquito, we offer eco-friendly solutions that are safe for your family, pets, and the environment. Our treatments utilize natural essential oils to effectively repel mosquitoes without harming beneficial pollinators.
    Don’t let mosquitoes disrupt your gardening joy. Contact GeoMosquito today to schedule your mosquito control service and make the most of your beautiful, pest-free garden all season long.
    Happy planting!
