Full restaurant patio at dusk with the Dallas skyline

Outdoor seating is revenue

Every empty patio table is a cover you didn't sell. On a warm evening, mosquitoes empty tables fast.

Guests move inside, or leave.Diners who get bitten ask to move, cut dinner short or skip the patio next time.

Events can't be rescheduled.A wedding or corporate dinner happens on one night. If mosquitoes are bad that night, that's the review.

Chemicals near food are a hard sell.Smell, drift and a technician walking past the bar. Guests and staff notice.

And they don't last.A pre-service spray fades within days. Sterile males find wild females in planters, drains and pots, so each release takes a generation off your next weekend.

Start before the first big date

A release stops the next generation, so the program has to be running before the date that matters. You should start to feel the difference within 7 to 14 days.

How far ahead should we start before an event?

At least 4 weeks before a major event. Each generation after the first release is smaller again, so the earlier you start, the stronger the effect on the night.

Do you offer one-time treatments for weddings or parties?

Not as a one-off release. If your venue hosts events through the year, a year-round program covers every date.

Is it safe around restaurant patios and food?

Yes. Nothing is applied, so nothing lands on food, drinks, tables or linens.

What about bites after 10 p.m. events?

Late-night biters are a different species, which sterile males don't affect. We target the mosquitoes that bite at afternoon ceremonies and sunset cocktails.

What does a venue program cost?

Every venue gets a custom quote, based on your outdoor space and event calendar. It starts with a free site assessment.
