Why You Should Consider Tick Control for Your Bloomington, IL, Yard

Posted by Mosquito Squad

December 19, 2023

How often do you spend time in your yard, now that it’s not raining? Wouldn’t it be nice for you, your family and your pets to spend as much time in your yard without worrying about ticks? Currently, we’re in prime tick season for the American dog tick, according to the Tick Encounter resource. If you’d like to ensure that up to 90% of all the ticks in your yard are gone, all you have to do is Alert The SQUAD by calling us at (217) 516-3141!

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), ticks are responsible for transmitting both Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Babesiosis. Furthermore, according to the CDC, “The greatest risk of being bitten occurs during spring and summer. Adult females are most likely to bite humans”.

To eliminate ticks in your yard, we offer two levels of service. Our traditional protective barrier treatment is extremely effective at eliminating ticks on contact. We also offer a more intense tick treatment service using tick tubes. The tick tubes interior will be grabbed by smaller rodents, such as mice, and used to create their nests. Ticks frequently feed on smaller rodents and will subsequently be eliminated by the very mice that utilized the treated cotton for their nest.
