START ENJOYING YOUR YARD AGAIN WITH SMITTY’S MOSQUITO CONTROL
Imagine enjoying your Fort Dodge yard without the constant itching and swatting of mosquitoes. As a family-owned business, Smitty’s knows the importance of protecting your loved ones. Mosquitoes are harmful pests carrying diseases such as West Nile and the Zika virus. We take pride in providing quality mosquito control that surpasses our competitors. Unlike the competition, we target the mosquitoes at every controllable stage in their life cycle.
How Our Effective Mosquito Control Works
We use a unique backpack power blower to apply a fine mist to your shrubs, trees, lawn, and around the perimeter of your home, especially in the backyard. Our full program consists of four treatments from late spring to early fall. The two products we use are:
Demand CS
Demand CS is a new advanced-generation pyrethroid that controls mosquitoes and more than 30 other insects such as
spiders, ants, fleas, and wasps. It can be used indoors or outdoors.
Archer Insect Growth Regulator
Effectively interrupts the life cycle of mosquitoes, preventing eggs and larvae from developing into adults. It can be used indoors or outdoors.
Safe Effective Mosquito Control Will Eliminate Other Pests As Well
These products are safe for your loved ones and pets and will help to control mosquitoes and help eliminate fleas, ticks, spiders, and other pests. While our products last longer than others commonly used by our competitors, they still need to be applied every six weeks for the best outcome.
MOSQUITO CONTROL FOR SPECIAL EVENTS
Planning a special event such as a wedding, graduation party, or backyard barbecue in the Fort Dodge area? We recommend scheduling out two different treatments for maximum mosquito control, one about three weeks before the event and a follow-up treatment within 24 – 48 hours prior.

WHAT IS PERIMETER PEST CONTROL AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Perimeter pest control is a liquid application of insecticide placed around the outside of your home, creating a barrier that stops insects from coming in. We treat four to six feet around the outside of your structure and two to three feet up to your foundation wall. This is the area where insects are generally most active and where they may find an entrance to your home. Smitty’s perimeter insect control consists of three applications per year applied in spring, summer, and fall.
HOW CAN I AS THE HOME OR BUSINESS OWNER HELP?
Successful control of “Home Invaders” requires the cooperation of the homeowner. Here are some ways you can help our spring, summer, and fall treatments.
- Check caulking around the exterior, including window casings.
- Place exterior lighting as far from the structure as possible.
- Keep garbage cans tightly covered.
- Avoid stacking firewood on the ground near the structure.
- Check sealing of entry points, including those around plumbing, electrical wiring, etc.
- Make certain all soffits and wall vents are properly screened.
- Be sure that all ground-level doors seal properly.
