How Bug Slayer Works

The bug slayer system works like having your own, full-time, pest control operator working in your yard, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our technician will analyze your property, taking into considerations our primary objectives: safety first, effectiveness, and aesthetics. The bug slayer system is an auto spray insect management system. First there is a reservoir tank which carries our product to be metered out through the system. Secondly, the pump, motor and timer which control the application of the product, both on a manual basis with a remote control or on automatic timed sprays. Thirdly, the network of strategically placed misting nozzles throughout the yard area, taking into consideration harborage and breeding areas of mosquitoes, no see um's and other flying and biting insects. The concept is a simple one, to preemptively ambush the unsuspecting target past, before they have a chance to react. We kill them all before they have a chance to attack you.

Why is Bug Slayer More Effective

We don't believe you could argue with success. We've had over 10 years of experience in the mosquito control business. We have installed over 1000 systems in the Tampa Bay area.

We Use Air Flow in Mosquito Control

Certain applications just work better, and necessity is the mother of invention. Over the years we've learned certain areas may need something else for mosquito control. We've had large, deep, porches that could not be treated effectively with traditional mosquito misting applications. Since some of the chemicals we used over the years have been environmentally sensitive not been able to spray ever tidal waters, that our clients wanted to hang out on the dock. Both of these applications used airflow with automatic mosquito misting systems. How does it work? A 5 to 7 mile per hour breeze makes it impossible for a mosquito to land and bite a victim. By adding airflow from one of a high velocity, outdoor rated, sealed motor fan, we can guarantee enough air flow to enhance any existing mosquito control application and allow freedom to use the amenities desired. We are innovative at bug slayer.

Mosquito Control with You in Mind

The bug slayer system was created not only to be the most effective mosquito killing apparatus but focuses on three Paramount objectives. To apply an insecticide product, to a target past, in a manner that would bring about a positive outcome for the homeowner, with the least potential of harm to either the environment, or the purchaser of the system. (SAFETY FIRST) To reduce the mosquito population, to a point that you may enjoy the outdoor areas, that you use and cherish and pay property taxes on. This is done by making sure the problem areas are identified, the proper equipment is installed, to bring about a positive outcome. (EFFACACY) to install a system that is felt and not seen.

Aside from the potential of having a deadly virus transmitted to you by mosquito bite, there can be many side effects and allergic reactions to the bite itself. Many of the mosquito saliva proteins can cause allergic reactions, however most people display only swelling and itching at the bite area. Basic first aid measures usually suffice for the average mosquito bite. Usually some type of antiseptic white should be applied to the bite seen. If additional swelling occurs use ice were some type of lotion the contains a hydrocortisone cream to reduce the swelling and potentially stop itching. Caladril or calamine lotion are seem to work for me with a bad bite. Never scratch a bite location, easier said for adults than little kids, but it can increase the potential for infections. Common sense should be the rule of thumb for mosquito bites. There are extenuating circumstances where severe allergic reactions may take place, see medical advice in these situations.

Over the past few years as the economy slowed down, so did the tax revenues for many of the counties in the Tampa Bay area. With the reduction in monies available, many of the mosquito control districts have had to curtail their efforts somewhat to more reactionary mosquito control treatments than continuous ongoing mosquito management efforts of the past. Individuals that are concerned about the health and well-being of their families and pets need to be proactive in their personal mosquito control efforts. Integrated pest management systems need to be implemented by individuals through private companies to control mosquitoes and other biting pests around your home. The bug slayer system would do nicely.

Your breath is a dead giveaway. Female mosquitoes have an acute sense of smell. Female mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide, because they instinctively know that he warm-blooded host exhales this byproduct. A female mosquito can sense carbon dioxide from as far away as 50 to 75 feet. She will fly in a zigzag pattern, through the plume of carbon dioxide that you give off until she pinpoints her target for a blood meal. All warm-blooded creatures give off carbon dioxide when they breathe and all warm-blooded creatures are targeted by mosquitoes in the same way. The volume of carbon dioxide you give off is also be a factor in the targeting mechanism for the female mosquito.

There's great truth way mosquito breeds has an impact on that environment. Most mosquitoes don't travel more than 100 yards from where they emerge as adults during the lifetime. If your yard is prone to holding stagnant water in any significant quantity your is greater risk for breeding generations of mosquitoes is living in the Everglades. Most homes in the Tampa Bay area provide great shade cover for mosquitoes to harbor due to the tropical landscape that we all enjoy. Because of frequent watering, many areas tend to hold small amounts of water perfect for the laying of eggs. Many man-made drainage areas, including gutters stagnant water that will allow multiple generations and mosquitoes to breeding mature.

Mosquito eggs don't sound very exciting, but the ability of a mosquito to reproduce and the areas in which they can lay eggs is almost mind-boggling. Here in Florida, the environment is perfect for mosquito reproduction and laying eggs. After a mosquito egg is laid, it can lie dormant for up to several months, even a year are more, until a time when water washes over them. Mosquitoes can lay eggs year round, and all it takes is the introduction of water and the lifecycle of the mosquito takes off. Adult mosquitoes mate within the first few days after emerging. The male locates the females by listening for the sounds of their wings, which run flap up to 500 beats per second. The mosquitoes join in-flight; the male passes sperm to the females, perpetuating the mosquito lifecycle. The male dies shortly after mating occurs. Female mosquitoes have the capability of laying up to 100 - 300 eggs every 7-10 days after mating only once, and will typically lay 3 to 5 groups of eggs in their lifetime. Mosquitoes lay their eggs on the surface of fresh or stagnant water and damp ground. The water can be in tin cans, barrels, a hole in a tree, horse troughs, ornamental ponds, swimming pools, puddles, creeks, ditches, catch basins or even saltwater marsh areas. Mosquitoes prefer water sheltered from the wind with grass and weeds. Some mosquitoes have the ability to lay their eggs on just damp soil; with some eggs being able to resist drying out, until the areas are flooded by water from rains or tidal flow. The Florida Department of Agriculture, in a study to count the number of mosquito eggs in a Central Florida pasture, estimated 100,000,000 eggs per acre in sod samples that were taken. Mosquitoes usually lay their eggs at night. They lay their eggs one at a time, sticking them together to form a raft of 100 to 300 eggs at a time. The raft of eggs looks like a speck of soot floating on the water and is about a quarter inch long and an eighth of an inch wide.
