Silver Lake's Seasonal Barrier Treatment Team

Residual barrier typically holds about three weeks before new activity requires re-treatment.

A complete job includes both perimeter spray and treatment of any breeding sources found. A single missed water source nearby can shorten how long a barrier treatment stays effective, so we always ask about the whole surrounding area, not just the yard itself.

Barrier product follows label guidelines for residential use — we'll note anything needing special handling.

Yes — we schedule timing a day or two before the event for maximum effect on the actual date.

Water features need a different approach — larvicide — because spray only affects adults, not larvae. 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. We recommend a yard check after heavy rain, since new standing water shows up in unexpected places.
