This Patch article is sponsored by The Mosquito & Pest Authority.

It's no secret that New Jersey can be buggy ? particularly during the hot summer months! Patch hhad a chance to talk with Chris and Brian Madigan, owners of The Mosquito & Pest Authority, about how they're in the business of providing better, bite-free backyards for folks in and around the Garden State.

Patch: Can you tell us a little bit about your background and experience?

Chris and Bryan: We both have worked as School Administrators for the Toms River Regional School District for the past 25 years. Therefore, education and working with children has always been our passion. As owners of The Mosquito & Pest Authority, our passion for education and working with children continues to thrive! Our service focuses on educating members of our community about the potential harmful diseases that mosquitoes and ticks can transmit, precautions that homeowners can take to prevent mosquito and tick exposure and ideally protect their family and loved ones.

Patch: What is your favorite part about working in the Toms River area?

Chris and Bryan: Our favorite part of working in Toms River is that we are fully invested in our town! We have both lived here for 45 years. Bryan and I were both born and raised here in TR. We have attended the Toms River Regional Schools from K-12, we have played in these parks, have gone to our beaches and now take pride in watching our children do the same.

Patch: If you had to recommend three books what would they be and why?

Chris and Bryan: Three books that we would recommend for someone to read would be:

1. The Power of Positive Thinking

Each of these books give the reader the tools and blueprint of how ?retraining? your thought process and thinking positively will yield positive results.

Patch: What is your definition of success?

Chris and Bryan: Our definition of success is when one's efforts show great results. This definition of ?success? can be used in any aspect of one's life.

Patch: How did you get involved in the Mosquito Control industry?

Chris and Bryan: We got involved in The Mosquito & Pest Authority simply by being customers. We were amazed at how the product worked. We were able to reclaim our backyard and didn?t have to run inside every night to avoid those annoying pests.

Patch: What services does The Mosquito & Pest Authority offer?

Chris and Bryan: PEST AUTHORITY!!! Just over a year ago we introduced our sister-franchise Pest Authority to Ocean County! We found the need to add this FULL PEST service because many of our Mosquito clients inquired if we could take care of their inside pest issues as well. Because of the request of our current clients, we took a great deal of time researching and planning on how we can continue to provide the same great service that we offer at Mosquito Authority. We brought onto our staff a Licensed Certified Pest Technician with over 40 years of pest experience. We implemented a pest company that sets us apart from others.

BARRIER 360 MAX - Our signature Barrier 360 Max offers year-round, all-in-one pest control! Barrier 360 Max is an exterior treatment that stops infestations before they start. It establishes a pest-proof secure perimeter around your home or business that stops pests from getting inside. There?s nothing quite like it. Barrier 360 Max protects your home or business from all of these pests: Ants, Crickets, Millipedes, Carpet Beetles, Earwigs, Moths, Centipedes, Fleas, Pill Bugs, Cockroaches, Mice, Silverfish and Spiders.

Pest Authority services both residential and commercial locations for active termites, termite prevention, termite inspections, bed bugs and wasps/hornets. We use state of the art products that have been proven to yield amazing results while fitting homeowners' budgets.

This pattern of treatment has proven to break down the mosquito life cycle. The company itself has two knowledgeable entomologists on staff that are there to offer assistance to its Franchise owner.

Patch: What are some of the signs readers should look for to tell if they have a mosquito problem?

Chris and Bryan: Very simple! If you or your loved ones are getting bit, then you have a mosquito problem. Not only are mosquitoes and ticks a nuisance, but they also carry and spread deadly diseases.

FACT: The mosquito is the deadliest animal on the planet!!!

Patch: When should they call in a professional for help?

Chris and Bryan: Early intervention is best to achieve the maximum results. We service from the end of April to the beginning of October. To increase results and effectiveness, it?s crucial to begin treating before mosquitoes establish their habitat in your yard.

Patch: Can you tell us a little bit about your staff and their background?

Chris and Bryan: Our staff consists of 25 licensed applicators. Each of which have completed a Core Pesticide Training course with the state of NJ. After which, each applicator spends an additional 40 hours being trained on the job. We focus on safety, pesticide compliance, mosquito/tick identification, treatment, company expectations and professionalism.

Patch: What are the top things readers can do to protect themselves from Mosquitos?

This includes: 1) Having all standing water where mosquitoes can breed treated. 2) Having their foliage sprayed to both kill and repel the adult mosquitoes.
