Do you love spending time outside in your backyard, but can’t stand the buzzing pests around you? Our new products will help reduce the populations of these pesky insects and allow you to enjoy the outdoors once again. We are now offering seasonal coverage for the control of mosquitoes and ticks. Our licensed technicians will ensure that every tree, shrub, and hiding place these pests can get into will be treated to ensure maximum protection for your outdoor space.

MOSQUITO CONTROL

Timeline

Our seasonal mosquito control service can reduce the mosquito populations in your yard by up to 80%. The first application generally occurs in late May, once foliage begins to grow on the trees and shrubs on your property. Once the first application is complete, we return within two weeks to re-spray the property in order to establish a strong defence against the newly arriving mosquitoes. After this we return, on average, every 21 days for re-application. The exact length of time between each visit can vary depending on the time of the season. Since mosquito populations fluctuate with the changing weather, certain months require more or less product to control them.

Application Process

Postcard Perfect uses motorized Stihl backpack sprayers that distribute the product evenly in a fog-like form onto your property. We start by spraying the perimeter of the property and work our way inwards through the trees, shrubs, and any landing spots for mosquitoes. Once the product has dried (approximately 30 minutes), it is rainproof and completely safe for humans and pets alike to go outside. If you have any concerns about the product we use, please contact us at info@postcardperfect.ca or 613-831-4246.

TICK CONTROL

Timeline

Our seasonal tick control service provides a reduction of tick populations on your property. The first application occurs once the snow has melted. The second application occurs in the summer to ensure the defense against ticks is maintained. The final application occurs in the fall to ward off any ticks that are around trying to find their last meal before winter.

Application Process

The application process for our tick control program is similar to our mosquito control program. We use motorized Stihl backpack sprayers to apply the product to the foliage on your property. We apply the product to the perimeter of your property and focus on any areas that are known tick habitats. We then spray the trees, shrubs and gardens throughout the rest of the property to ensure maximum protection is achieved.
