Weddings

It’s the big day, and the happy couple is excited to tie the knot! Something old, new, borrowed and blue have all been acquired, and the aisle looks like a pathway straight to heaven. The wedding party is in place, eyes are already glistening, and the string quartet begins to play… accompanied by the droning whine of mosquitoes. Outdoor ceremonies and receptions are beautiful, but run the risk of attracting some uninvited pests. The spotlight should be on the lovebirds, not the bugs buzzing around. Our barrier treatments help stave off winged intruders while still maintaining a gorgeous outdoor venue.

BBQs

In the heat of high summer, many people turn to one of their favorite summer activities: barbecuing. Friends and family gather around the grill to exchange stories, smiles and laughs. A backyard cookout is a seasonal treat, one that shouldn’t be shared with mosquitoes! Ensure that the food is the only feast being served and that the delicious smell of ribs doesn’t compete with the pungent scent of insect repellent. After 30 minutes of drying time, our treatments ensure everyone can enjoy the sunshine and warmth itch-free!

The days of warmer weather and blooming flowers are right around the corner…and so are mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. As the temperature begins to rise, pest activity will too. Did you know that mosquitoes, ticks and fleas become active once the temperature reaches and stays above 50 degrees consistently? Spring into action by making sure you are prepared to enjoy your outdoor space as soon as possible!

Being able to sit outside and enjoy your outdoor space (instead of swatting at those pesky mosquitoes) is one great reason to give Mosquito Joe of Wayne a call. Another exciting reason is the opportunity to pre-pay for the entire season!

What are the benefits of pre-pay?

• Save 10% on mosquito, tick and flea control so your family can enjoy being outside again.
• You can relax during the summer months without worrying about ongoing pest control payments.

New here? No problem! We offer a wide range of services that will keep you protected all season long. Our barrier treatment protects you and your family from mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas for 21 days after application. Using a backpack sprayer designed for precise application, your technician targets shrubs and plants with a barrier spray that kills mosquitoes, ticks and fleas on contact and bonds to foliage, where it acts as a repellent for weeks to come. Within 30 minutes of spraying, your yard is ready for family and pets to come out and play!

As an alternative to our longer-lasting synthetic treatment, Mosquito Joe of Wayne offers an all-natural pest control solution. Our all-natural solution repels mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas immediately but has less adhesive properties than our synthetic. Because of this, we require spraying on a 14-day cycle to ensure adequate protection.

Our technicians are trained pest control experts dedicated to one thing: getting rid of mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas so you can enjoy being outside again. We do not require customers to sign contracts, which gives you the flexibility you need to fully enjoy your outdoor space.

And if you’re a returning customer, we’re glad to have you back! Thank you for an amazing 2018 and letting us make outside fun again for you and your family. If you have any questions about the Mosquito Joe of Wayne Pre-Pay program, just give us a call and we’d be happy to get you on the path to a mosquito-free 2019!

Are you getting married or having a special event this fall in New Jersey? Read these tips on how to be smitten and not bitten.

New Jersey is the absolute perfect location for a fall time wedding or outdoor event. Being in close proximity to New York City, as well as several large airports, it makes it an easy place to travel to. New Jersey also offers a large range of venues including catering halls, beaches, rustic barns and large open fields. The fall season tends to be the driest in New Jersey which is a huge reason for its popularity. It seems like a beautiful outdoor New Jersey event would be something out of a fairytale. However, one thing that could put a wrench in your plans would be wedding or event crashers in the form of ticks and mosquitoes.

With the Summer winding down, you may think that mosquitoes and ticks will be less active but actually, it’s quite the opposite. The adult stages of black-legged ticks begin to become active as the season changes from summer into fall. In the northeastern United States, such as New Jersey, these adult stage ticks start to become abundant early in October. They will remain active through the winter as long as the temperatures are above freezing and the ground is not frozen or covered by snow.

Mosquitoes don’t immediately disappear with the start of the fall season either. They become less active after the temperature consistently hits below 50 degrees. The average temperature at the end of October in New Jersey is 55 degrees. That means mosquitoes could be staying around a lot longer than what we all thought.

When you’re hosting an outdoor event, the last thing you want to worry about is your guests getting covered in insect bites or even worst, tick bites. There are several things you could do to combat these issues head-on.

For mosquitoes, keep in mind what time of day they are most likely to strike. Your guests are most likely to be bit between dusk and dawn, so you might want to schedule your event festivities to avoid those hours. Include flowers around your venue that typically repel mosquitoes like lavender, marigolds and citronella. For ticks, you want to make sure your event space has been recently landscaped as ticks like to hide out in long grasses.

Of course, the only way to be fully prepared in fighting against these pests would be getting your yard or venue sprayed by one of our Mosquito Joe professionals. Call Mosquito Joe in Wayne today at (973) 435-0747 to discuss your options about spraying for your special event. We recommend getting the venue sprayed several days before your event. Mosquito Joe can come to your event location in advance to apply a barrier spray and ensure that your guests don’t suffer from mosquito bites. Dry within 30 minutes and applied well before the food is prepared, special event sprays provide protection throughout the day, from setup to the last dance – giving you less to worry about.
