While DIY methods can work, calling on experts like the team at Quest Termite & Pest is the best and most effective mosquito and tick control option for the summer months. Here’s why.
When Should You Call a Tick and Mosquito Control Professional?
You should call a pest control professional when you start finding more ticks and mosquitoes on your property than usual. The longer you wait, the more time mosquitoes and ticks have to reproduce — and the longer it will take to resolve the issue.
Can You Use DIY Mosquito and Tick Control Methods?
Yes, you can use DIY mosquito and tick control methods to prevent infestations in your yard. However, managing infestations that have already become issues requires the help of a professional pest control team.
While DIY methods like citronella candles and mosquito traps can deter pests away from settling into your yard, a full-scale infestation is unlikely to stay away due to the number of insects you need to remove. Calling on a pro can help you take care of the issue for the long-term.
Why Is It Important to Control Ticks and Mosquitoes?
It’s important to control ticks and mosquitoes in the summer because they can spread serious diseases like:
- Lyme disease
- Dengue fever
- Rocky Mountain spotted fever
- Ehrlichiosis
- Zika virus
- Malaria
- West Nile virus
- Yellow fever
- Chikungunya
Prevention is the most effective way to avoid contracting these diseases. Protecting your body with long clothing and insect repellents in addition to pest-proofing your yard can help you and your family stay safe when it’s warm outside.
