What are mosquito buckets?

There are two main types of mosquito buckets available. Mosquito Defenders will evaluate your property to determine if this is the right choice for you without wasting your time or money and ensuring that you will have the best results possible.

1. In-2-Care Buckets: These are the main type of buckets that general pest companies will use for their customers. And also the only way they attempt to control mosquitoes. However, we have found in our experience that general pest companies are not trained by In-2-Care on how to properly use and service these buckets which usually leads to these buckets making things worse for the customer. Mosquito Defenders’ technicians are trained to identify proper location and use for these buckets in order to provide optimal results.

2. AGO Traps: These are bucket traps that contain a glue board inside which traps mosquitoes so they are unable to fly around and bite you. Mosquito Defenders’ technicians are trained to identify proper location and use for these buckets in order to provide optimal results.

How do mosquito buckets work?

1. In-2-Care: These buckets have a net with a powdered product sitting on top of water inside the bucket. There is then a mosquito attractant that is placed in the water that is inside the bucket. This will attract mosquitoes to land on the net and be covered with the powder. The mosquitoes then will either lay eggs in the treated bucket or fly to find other water sources to breed and the powder will then treat those areas. Unfortunately, general pest companies do not make proper use of these buckets and usually cause mosquitoes to be attracted near the customers which creates a rise in mosquito bites for their customers. Mosquito Defenders is trained by In-2-Care on how to properly use these buckets and identify when and where the buckets will make the greatest positive impact for the customer. 

2. AGO Traps: AGO traps are buckets filled with water and organic material such as leaves, grass clippings etc.. This creates a natural attracted for mosquitoes to come to the bucket where there is a glue board inside waiting to catch the mosquito and preventing them from finding our customers.
