*Mosquito Squad helps to minimize mosquitos for most of the day and night. However, we are in Minnesota and it is impossible to completely eliminate mosquitos. You will notice that mosquito activity is worse at dusk and will last 30-45 minutes until they settle on treated areas and perish. During the active time, we recommend using mosquito repellent or convening indoors until they settle.
