Mosquito
Mosquitoes are not insects that have one nest (like wasps or ants) where we can simply kill & remove the nest to eliminate the problem. Mosquitoes have many breeding sites and they fly (or get blown) onto your property. However, with regular attention, Green Giant can provide a tremendous reduction of these nasty critters.

Odorous House Ants
The most common household ant is the odorous house ant. Their colonies consist of multiple nests and contain multiple reproducing queens. Odorous house ants are very tough and can continue living and working while injured. The queen can survive without food or water for over two months. They are very tolerant of heat and cold and leave a smell when killed, hence the nickname stink ant.
