Skokie summers are short — don't waste them swatting in your own backyard. Sleep Tight Pest Control's seasonal mosquito barrier program treats adult mosquitoes on contact and disrupts breeding sites every 3–4 weeks so you can actually use your yard from May through September.
Why Skokie yards have mosquito problems
Mosquitoes need only a bottle cap of standing water to breed. Skokie's mature trees, dense plantings, and humid summers create perfect resting and breeding conditions. Clogged gutters, birdbaths, kid's toys, and plant saucers all become breeding sites.
Sleep Tight's mosquito barrier program
Our treatment combines a fast-acting knockdown that kills adult mosquitoes on contact with a residual that keeps treating for 3–4 weeks. We focus on shaded areas, dense plantings, fence lines, and the underside of decks — where mosquitoes rest during the day.
- Knockdown + residual lasting 3–4 weeks
- Targeted application to mosquito resting areas
- Standing-water breeding-site inspection and treatment
- Pre-event one-time treatments for parties
- Pet-safe once dry, typically within 30 minutes
What you can do between treatments
Empty anything holding water at least weekly. Clear gutters — clogged gutters are one of the most productive mosquito breeding sites in Skokie. Refresh birdbath water every few days.
