How Yard Guard Works

PestNow's Yard Guard Program is designed to help homeowners in South Mills, NC, enjoy their outdoor spaces with fewer mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks throughout the warmer months.

Using specialized application equipment, our technicians apply EPA-approved larvicides to help prevent mosquito larvae from developing into biting adults. We also use professional-grade equipment to deliver targeted treatments to shrubs, ornamental plants, under decks, fence lines, and other harborage areas where adult mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks commonly gather. By focusing on these high-activity zones rather than simply treating the lawn, we provide more effective coverage and longer-lasting protection.

Applications are performed monthly from April through October to maintain consistent protection during peak pest season. These recurring treatments help reduce pest populations, interrupt their life cycles, and keep outdoor spaces more comfortable. With regular Yard Guard service from PestNow, South Mills homeowners can spend more time enjoying backyard gatherings, family activities, and relaxing evenings outdoors.

What to expect with Yard Guard

  • Keep kids and pets indoors until treated areas are dry; we'll advise re-entry timing (often 30-60 minutes depending on weather).

  • We schedule around heavy rain; once dry, residues bind to foliage for ongoing effectiveness.

  • We avoid edible plants and blooming flowers; we'll set buffer zones around gardens and pollinator beds.

Best Exterminator Reviews

I recently had the pleasure of working with PestNow to address a wasp issue at my home. Antonio and Jason, the technicians who came over, were the epitome of professionalism and service with a smile. The wasps had made their home in a crack between the cornice and the roof, and Antonio and Jason handled the situation with great care and expertise.

From the moment they arrived, they made sure to wear shoe covers before entering my home, which I greatly appreciated. They took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly identified all the areas that needed to be sprayed. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction were evident throughout the entire process.

Antonio and Jason's friendly demeanor and professionalism made a stressful situation much more manageable. I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and the peace of mind they provided. Thank you, Antonio and Jason, for making me smile and taking care of my concerns!

They took the time to actually understand my issue (black ants in the house) and suggest a solution that was appropriate for the problem and safe for my pets. So far, so good!

Excellent service, very friendly, gave good service, and great communication. I was very pleased with Billy. I want him back for my services the next quarter.

Almost 2 hours after my initial review, one of their lovely managers, Derrick, reached out to me and wanted to earn my business back. Derrick explained the products that would be used and the process. He sent out one of his best technicians to treat my home thoroughly today in hopes that this will remediate any activity I have been seeing. It is hard to find businesses in this day and age that appreciate customers to make them feel heard and understand their concerns. Derrick also told me to wait 10 days and let him know directly if my concerns were resolved. So far, I appreciate the professionalism of everyone who has helped with my issue.

- Alexis S. - Owings Mills, MD
