Take back your yard — call the Mosquito Authority

Are you tired of being on the Swat Team every year, batting away mosquitoes left and right? Take the sting out of your summer with help from The Mosquito Authority. Locally owned by Rob Harris of Livermore since 2011, the service guarantees a mosquito-free yard. Base prices start at $69 for a quarter-acre yard; call for individualized estimates.

Rob is well known in the area, since he served as a Larimer County Mountain Deputy for 13 years. Since starting his Mosquito Authority business, he has provided mosquito treatment for numerous venues including the Greeley Stampede, Jackson State Park, Fort Fun, movie nights in Greeley parks and the Back Porch Restaurant. “But our favorite customers are homeowners,” Rob stated. “That’s where our specialty is.”

Rob emphasized that his mosquito treatment is safe for children and pets. Beneficial insects, such as butterflies and honeybees, will return after application.

Rob’s team starts with an all-natural, chemical-free treatment of the mosquito habitat around a customer’s home. Then, they apply a light mist of a very mild, EPA-approved solution formulated to repel mosquitoes for the next three weeks. The formula’s active ingredient, Rob noted, is the same as that used in flea and tick shampoo for pets.

The Mosquito Authority serves all of Northern Colorado, including Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor and surrounding areas.

Rob invites residents to “take back their yards” for summer fun. For more information, call The Mosquito Authority at 1-970-444-BUGS (2847) or go to www.bugsbite.org.
