Green Spaces Keep Pests Close
Irrigated turf and shaded trees in community parks hold moisture well into the evening. Crickets breed in that turf and then head for porch lights and stucco walls after dark.
Mosquitoes look for small pockets of standing water nearby. A low spot in the grass, a clogged drain, or a toy left in the yard after a sprinkler cycle can all become breeding sites in warm weather.
Spiders follow both, setting up webs wherever insects gather. Patio covers, eaves, and play sets are their favorite spots.
Ants are busy here too, nesting along sidewalks and turf edges where sprinklers keep the soil soft.

- Mosquitoes in shaded areas

Our Approach in Cortina
We treat the full perimeter of your home, including garage edges and wall bases, to stop crickets before they reach the door. Webs are cleared from eaves, light fixtures, and patio furniture.
Mosquito service targets the shrubs and shaded areas where adults rest during the day. Your technician will also flag any standing water worth draining.
We also check garage doors and weep screeds, since crickets often slip in there after dark. Scorpions follow crickets, so cutting cricket numbers helps on both fronts.
Pricing and Peace of Mind
Bi-monthly plans for Cortina homes begin starting at $45 monthly for up to 2,500 square feet. Our products are eco-friendly, and the yard is safe for kids and pets again once everything dries.
Our technicians are paid by the day, so they take the time to check every side of the yard. Green Magic has been locally owned and serving the Valley since 2016.

What can I do to reduce mosquitoes?
Walk the yard once a week and dump anything holding water. Pair that with our treatment and you will notice a real difference on warm evenings. Keeping grass trimmed also cuts down shady resting spots.
Are black widows dangerous to kids?
Their bites can be serious, so it is smart to keep play areas clear of webs. Regular treatment and web removal reduce the risk considerably.
What if crickets come back between visits?
Give us a call and we will re-treat at no charge. Cricket surges are common in late summer. Keeping porch lights off when you do not need them also helps.
