Our tick and mosquito control services employs a targeted, multi-prong strategy for maximum effectiveness.
Effective Yard Pest Control
It takes more than just dowsing the yard with insecticide to control ticks and mosquitoes. To effectively control these yard pests, it is necessary to understand the insect’s life cycle, nesting areas, favorite feeding sites – as well as using the right controls and equipment to knock them down.
Effective yard pest control requires a 3-prong strategy:
- Knowledge of the pest’s life cycle and habitats
- Using the right controls (insecticides)
- Employing the right equipment
Control of fleas, ticks and mosquitoes is accomplished through monthly tick and mosquito spraying, starting in April and ending October. For the best control of ticks and mosquitoes, it is necessary to understand the insect’s life cycle, nesting areas, breeding time and zone as well as feeding sites.

Tick Control: Timing and Targeting Matter
When it comes to tick control, timing and targeting are everything. Our tick control services are designed to disrupt the tick’s life cycle at key stages, ensuring maximum effectiveness. By targeting the right areas at the right time, we help keep your yard tick-free year-round.
Mosquito Control: Consistency is Key
Successful mosquito control requires precise timing and targeted treatments to disrupt their life cycle and reduce their population. Our mosquito control services are strategically designed to protect your yard throughout the mosquito season.


Tick and Mosquito Spraying: Why Equipment Matters
Not all tick and mosquito services are equal – equipment and spray technique play a major role in effectiveness. We use tank-based high-pressure spray systems, which are far superior to standard backpack foggers.
