Waianae's Seasonal Barrier Treatment Team

Most treatments stay effective around 21 days, which is why seasonal programs schedule on that cycle.

Both — barrier spray handles adults while larvicide treats standing water we can't drain. Effectiveness depends on more than just your own property, which is why we ask about neighboring water sources during the initial call.

We use products labeled safe for treated areas once dry, and flag any specific concerns during scheduling.

Event treatment is common; we time application to peak effectiveness for your date.

Ponds usually need larvicide rather than barrier spray, since spray doesn't reach larvae developing in water. A few landscaping adjustments between visits can meaningfully extend how long a barrier treatment stays effective.

A three-week cycle is typical, though heavier rain sometimes calls for tighter scheduling. It also helps to check for new containers holding water after storms, since a single overturned bucket restarts breeding fast.
