Mosquito & Tick Control – Protecting Your Family from More Than Just Bites

Mosquitoes and ticks are common in Massachusetts, especially during the warmer months, and they’re more than just an outdoor annoyance. Both can carry dangerous diseases that threaten your family and pets.

The Health Risks

●       Mosquitoes: West Nile virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), and Zika virus.

●       Ticks: Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Powassan virus.

Peak Activity Times

●       Mosquitoes are most active from late spring through early fall, especially in the early morning and evening hours.

●       Ticks can be active from early spring through late fall, and even during mild winter days.

Reducing Mosquito and Tick Populations Around Your Home

●       Remove standing water from bird baths, gutters, buckets, and flowerpots

●       Keep grass mowed and landscaping trimmed

●       Use gravel or wood chips to create barriers between wooded areas and lawns

●       Protect pets with veterinarian-approved tick prevention

Professional Treatment Benefits While DIY methods can help, professional mosquito and tick control targets breeding sites and resting areas, greatly reducing pest populations and lowering disease risk.
