Mosquito Joe

Did you know the average life cycle of a female mosquito is 45 days?  Did you know that during those 45 days, she can lay up to 900 eggs?  And did you think, oh, well, I don’t have to worry about mosquitos now, because cold weather is here!  Here’s another fact for you, freezing weather does not kill all mosquitos nor their eggs.  They can winterize their bodies to survive the cold, just like your dog grows a heavy coat of hair to keep warm.

Mosquito Joe knows all about mosquitos, ticks, fleas and other outdoor pests. Their technicians are thoroughly trained to perform treatments on your property to control these pests.  Their treatment consists of recurring barrier spray programs and larvicide treatments.  Their products utilize a time release formula to ensure consistent protection throughout the treatment cycle.  This includes larvicide treatments for areas of standing water to interrupt the mosquito life cycle at the larvae stage and minimize the development of adult mosquitos.

The Mosquito Joe franchise was started in 2009 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and has 153 franchises across the country.  Mosquito Joe of East Mississippi started their business in July 2017.  “Meridian/Lauderdale County has provided us a great place to raise our families and earn a living,” say co-owners, Robbie B. Knight and Robert W. Carleton.  “Starting a new business is not easy,” they say, “but be willing to put in the hard work and long hours to get started.  Surround yourself with great people and know and understand your numbers.  EMBDC has been extremely helpful to our business from day one.  Beginning with our ribbon cutting and continuing with the information we’ve obtained about community events and organizations, EMBDC has been one of the most valuable resources in starting our business.”

Mosquito Joe is committed to exceeding customer expectations.  They strive to improve the quality of life for families by reducing the threat of itchy bites and mosquito borne illnesses.  They even provide special event treatments for outdoor occasions such as family reunions, weddings and receptions.  Their slogan is, “Outside is Fun Again!”  A customer recently commented, “I’ve seen one mosquito since you came the first time.  It’s so nice to be able to enjoy my yard, landscaping and pool without the fear of being eaten alive with mosquito bites!  Good luck, with your continued success as a company.”
