Mosquito And Tick Control
Take Back Your Yard From Mosquitoes
And Ticks With Mosquito Guard
Mosquitoes and ticks are pests that are not only annoying; they affect our quality of life by transmitting serious diseases. At American Pest Solutions, we offer mosquito control and tick protection that is safe for your family, pets, and the environment.
We attack mosquitoes and ticks where they live and spend time during the daylight hours. Our Mosquito Guard program is designed to offer season-long protection when outdoor activity and insect disease threats are the highest. Our specialists will visit every 3-4 weeks from April through October to ensure the worry-free enjoyment of your yard while the great weather sticks around. This application schedule also reduces vector born disease transmission by 92%!
Mosquito Guard is a stand-alone service, however, it can be added to the Pest Guard home pest control program. Additionally, this service is great before ANY outdoor activity or event including weddings, graduations, and birthdays. Don't waste your money on tiki torches and bug sprays, invite us to your next event and let us help keep you mosquito-free!
There is only so much time in New England to enjoy warm days, don’t let the threat of mosquitoes and ticks drive you indoors. Contact American Pest Solutions to learn more about our treatment for mosquito and ticks.
Effective Mosquito and Tick Prevention Tips
While professional mosquito and tick control treatments are highly effective, there are several proactive steps you can take to further protect your yard and family from these pests.
- Eliminate Standing Water: Mosquitoes need stagnant water to breed. To minimize breeding grounds, empty containers, birdbaths, and kids' toys after rain. Clean gutters regularly to ensure water doesn’t accumulate.
- Maintain Your Landscaping: Ticks thrive in tall grass and dense vegetation. Keep your lawn well-mowed and trim shrubs, especially around the edges of your yard, where ticks tend to hide. Mosquitoes also prefer resting in shaded, damp areas—keep your yard clear of overgrown vegetation.
- Use Natural Repellents: Certain plants naturally repel mosquitoes. Consider planting citronella, lavender, marigolds, or lemongrass around your yard. These plants not only keep mosquitoes away but also add beauty and fragrance to your landscape.
- Perform Regular Tick Checks: After spending time outdoors, especially in wooded or grassy areas, thoroughly check for ticks on yourself, your children, and pets. Ticks can easily latch onto clothing and skin, so a thorough inspection is essential.
- Create a Barrier Zone: If your property borders wooded or overgrown areas, create a barrier by clearing a 3-foot-wide zone of vegetation around the perimeter of your yard. This will help reduce tick migration into your outdoor space.
Our Mosquito Guard Application Process
At American Pest Solutions, we’ve designed a comprehensive, step-by-step process to ensure maximum effectiveness of our mosquito and tick control treatments. Here’s how we help protect your yard:
- Initial Property Inspection: Our experts begin by evaluating your property to identify areas where mosquitoes and ticks are most likely to thrive. We inspect for breeding sites, such as standing water, and areas with dense vegetation, where ticks commonly hide.
- Customized Treatment Plan: Based on our inspection, we develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses the unique needs of your property. This plan includes the best times for treatment, the application method, and the specific areas to target based on mosquito and tick activity in your area.
- Ongoing Monitoring and Regular Follow-ups: To ensure continued protection, we provide visits every 3-4 weeks during peak mosquito and tick season (April to October). Each treatment is applied strategically to target problem areas, providing a consistent defense against pests.
- Event-Specific Treatments: If you're planning a special event, we offer pre-event treatments to keep your gathering mosquito-free. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, or family reunion, we can ensure your guests enjoy the outdoors without the annoyance of pests.
By following this thorough and proven process, we help keep your outdoor spaces safe, comfortable, and pest-free throughout the season.
