Tick Control

At Mountain Mosquito, we don't just tackle mosquitoes; we also offer comprehensive tick control services to keep your family, pets, and property tick-free year-round. Ticks are a persistent threat, appearing as soon as spring temperatures exceed 45 degrees Fahrenheit and lingering well into the winter. That's why it's crucial to have an effective tick control plan in place.

Why Is Tick Control Important?

Tick control is essential for the health and well-being of your family and pets. Ticks can carry pathogens responsible for 10 different diseases that affect humans, with five of these being transmissible to pets. These diseases include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Anaplasmosis, which can have serious health implications. Protecting your family means implementing an effective tick pest control plan.

Types of Tick Control Methods

Mountain Mosquito offers professional tick control services to complement your efforts in making your property less appealing to ticks. Some essential tick prevention techniques include:

Keeping grass mowed and trees trimmed to reduce tick breeding grounds.

Relocating wood piles away from your home to eliminate tick hiding spots.

Avoiding thickly wooded areas when walking pets.

Moving play areas away from wooded regions.

Wearing long sleeves and pants in grassy or wooded areas.

Promptly washing clothing after outdoor activities and checking kids and pets for ticks.

Our tick control barrier spray is applied every three weeks to safeguard your family from disease-carrying ticks. It targets shrubs, plants, flower beds, and areas where ticks typically reside.

The Best Tick Prevention Techniques

Combining professional tick control services with active measures to make your property less attractive to ticks is the best approach to tick prevention. With over 850 tick species worldwide, 90 of which reside in the U.S., it's essential to have expert pest control that understands the specific tick species in your area. Mountain Mosquito's tick control treatments effectively eliminate each tick species in the U.S.

Remember, ticks don't jump or fly; they crawl. They wait for warm-blooded hosts by perching on the tips of grass and shrubs. By implementing tick prevention methods and letting Mountain Mosquito provide tick control, you create a barrier against these intruders.

Tick control treatments should be done monthly, starting in the spring when temperatures reach 45 degrees Fahrenheit and continuing past the first hard ground freeze.

During a tick control service visit, our professional applies a liquid insecticide targeting ticks along property lines, shrubs, ornamental plantings, and overgrown vegetation. They also inspect structures like decks, patios, sheds, and more. It's advisable to keep kids and pets inside during treatment and for at least 30 minutes afterward to allow it to dry.

4. How effective are tick control services?

Our tick control services are highly effective at eliminating existing ticks on your property.
