What Is Pyrethrum?
Pyrethrum is found in the Chrysanthemum plant, Chrysanthemum cineraariaefolium. Pyrethrum is found at particularly high concentration within flower structures known as achenes which are located in the flower head of the Chrysanthemum.
Pyrethrum has been extensively studied for its effects on people and the environment. Like all insecticides, pyrethrum is used to have a toxic effect on insects. Thus it is not correct to say that pyrethrum is “safe.” At the same time, we are confident that pyrethrum has a very good toxicity profile. For mammals, doses that elicit toxic reactions are significantly larger than the exposures people typically experience in using pyrethrum based products.

Pests We Treat
Mosquitos
Not only do mosquitos bite and infest your home, but they also carry deadly diseases like West Nile and Zika virus.
Roaches
Cockroaches are carriers of harmful bacteria and are one of the most common sources of indoor allergens.
Flies
Feeding off of food waste, garbage, and decaying matter, flies contaminate your home’s surfaces and are a nuisance.
Mud Daubers
Mud daubers construct their pipe-shaped nests on sides of homes but are generally harmless and easy to remove.
Termites
Termites are abundant in Oklahoma, causing massive and costly destruction to your home if left untreated.
Ticks
Commonly latching onto animals, ticks threaten the health of pets and are a risk for transmitting diseases to humans.
Spiders
Oklahoma is home to both harmless and dangerous spiders, some with bites that can cause serious painful reactions.
Fleas
Fleas bite, itch, cause allergic reactions, are a well-known parasite carrier, and can be difficult to prevent infestations.

FAQ’s
Are the chemicals safe for kids and pets?
At Tulsa Mosquito Control, we use a natural chemical found in nature to help rid your yard of bugs and pests. While we can’t claim it’s not toxic since it can stop infestations of bugs, it is safe for pets and kids. However, always follow our team’s detailed instructions for your unique situation and yard.

How long will it take to get rid of my infestation?
The length of our treatment and the time it will take for your yard to be clear of an infestation depends on a few factors, one being the type of bug. Some infestations may take regular treatments to ensure your house is free and clear of pests.
How often should I treat my home?
This is a great question! While we recommend that every home receive an annual treatment, it will depend upon the type of bugs, where you live, and more. While some homes require only a yearly service, others may need several during the summer.
What does a treatment cost?

This company knows what they are doing. Had an outdoor wedding and all the guests kept commenting that there were no mosquitoes or flys anywhere. All thanks to Tulsa Mosquito.
Amazing customer service. Wish I would have done it sooner. 3rd year with them and I am still as pleased with the system as day one. We are able to enjoy our backyard again. What sets Kris and Stephen apart is their customer service. Highly recommend!
We're able to have supper on the patio and enjoy a cup of coffee on the front porch again! But most of all our little grandson who loves being outdoors isn't covered in mosquito bites!!
My family owns a service company and has for over 40 years, after I witnessed the quality of work from this company I instantly thought, this is why Kris is so successful. Would recommend them always.
Had our first treatment today! Steven was extremely helpful and accommodating. He definitely knows his business. I will highly recommend this service to everyone.
