We know that, now more than ever, you need to act quickly to protect yourself and your loved ones. But how do you decide on a treatment program? Giroud takes a three step approach to help you choose which program is best for you
Organic Mosquito & Tick Control Program
Giroud’s Organic Mosquito & Tick Control Program is 100% chemical-free. No pesticides are utilized in this program. Instead, Giroud relies on non-chemical strategies to address problems and uses only 100% Organic treatments. Our treatment is made up of essential oils, such as peppermint and cedar oils, which naturally deter the insects from your property. We’ll treat the perimeter of your property in order to create a bubble of protection. Then, we’ll treat those Hot Spots so you can ensure your yard isn’t a breeding ground for more insects.

Traditional Mosquito & Tick Control Program
Giroud’s Traditional Mosquito & Tick Control Program uses insecticide treatments to combat insects on your property. Our Traditional program is highly effective at controlling mosquitoes, ticks and a wide variety of nuisance pests, including ants! Treatments have a long residual, which means the control has staying power. This treatment works by stopping pests from completing their life-cycle. That means
Once the spray treatment dries (after about 30 minutes), the treated areas are safe for people and pets. To protect pollinators, the treatment is not applied directly to blooms on plants. The Giroud crew is also careful not to get pesticides in vegetable gardens, flower beds or streams, and to protect fish, we do not spray near ponds or creeks.they won’t mate and lay more eggs.
Want Organic, But Your Property is Infested with Insects?
If you prefer organic but are worried about the number of mosquitoes and ticks on your property, there is flexibility. You can start with the organic program and see how effective it is. If you feel you need more, you can always switch to the traditional program.

Your traditional mosquito program is fantastic!!! I am sensitive to the bites and last year I was relegated to inside my house. This year I can enjoy the patio without having to douse myself with insect repellant. We still have bees, lightening bugs and butterflies in our garden but no more horrible biting, itching, annoying bugs to contend with. Life is good. Thanks, Mike, for taking care of us, our trees, bushes and grounds.
We are thrilled to hear that you’re happy with the results! I’ll let Mike know you shared these kind words 🙂
