Mosquito Control in West Point, VA 

Don't let itchy bites and the threat of mosquito-borne diseases turn your backyard into a no-go zone. Several of the 150 species of mosquitoes that flourish in the United States have been found to transmit a number of diseases. These pests thrive in standing water, turning even a small puddle into a breeding ground. Then, given that ideal breeding ground, just a single mosquito can quickly multiply into a massive swarm capable of plaguing your entire outdoor space. 

Thankfully, Mosquito Squad offers effective solutions to reclaim your yard. Choose from our traditional signature treatment or opt for our water-based natural alternative for a more eco-friendly approach. We even have special event sprays to help your celebrations go off without a hitch, perfect for graduations, weddings, or any outdoor gathering.

Tick Control in West Point, VA

Ticks may pose even more of a health risk than mosquitoes. These blood-sucking parasites can transmit many diseases through their bites.  While ticks don't fly or jump, they cleverly wait on tall grasses and other vegetation so that when unsuspecting hosts pass by, they can easily crawl on and settle in for a meal. The good news is that Mosquito Squad's signature treatment, which works so well against mosquitoes, also takes care of ticks at the same time. We also have our unique tick tubes which take a natural approach by attracting mice. The mice then collect the insecticide-treated cotton lining the tubes. As ticks chew on the lining, they get a powerful dose of poison, and it's good riddance, ticks!

Get Rid of Mosquitoes in West Point, VA, for Pet Health

Mosquitoes are more than just annoying pests for your furry friend. Their bites can trigger allergic reactions in dogs, leading to excessive licking, chewing, and scratching. The biggest threat, however, is heartworm disease. This serious condition involves parasitic worms that take up residence in your pet's heart, lungs, and blood vessels. These worms, which can grow up to a foot long in dogs, can severely damage internal organs and significantly impact your pet's health. 

The good news? You can significantly reduce the risk of your pet contracting heartworm disease with the help of pest control services. Mosquito control measures significantly decrease the mosquito population around your home, reducing the chances of your pet getting bitten by an infected mosquito. By taking preventative measures with help from Mosquito Squad, your pets can happily play without worry. 

Tick- and Mosquito-Borne Diseases in West Point, VA

Both ticks and mosquitoes are associated with a number of diseases, even here in the United States. 

A tick bite means risking the following…

• Lyme Disease: Often marked by a distinctive bullseye rash, Lyme disease can cause symptoms like fever, fatigue, and joint pain.
• Babesiosis: This infection destroys red blood cells and is particularly dangerous for immunocompromised people.
• Ehrlichiosis: Characterized by fever, headache, and muscle pain, ehrlichiosis targets white blood cells and can be life-threatening if untreated.
• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever: This serious illness presents with a sudden high fever, severe headache, and a rash that spreads from the extremities to the trunk.
• Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI): STARI causes a rash and mild symptoms, with treatment generally resulting in full recovery.
• Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever: Caused by bacteria transmitted through tick bites, this disease features repeated episodes of fever, headache, and muscle and joint aches.
• Tularemia: Known as "rabbit fever," tularemia can be transmitted by insect bites and handling sick or dead animals, causing fever, skin ulcers, and swollen glands.

Mosquitoes, like ticks, are potentially dangerous for both humans and animals, who can contract any of the following…

• West Nile Virus (WNV): This is the leading cause of mosquito-borne death in the United States. Most infections are mild, but severe cases can lead to neurological disease and death. Horses can also be affected.
• Encephalitis: This severe brain inflammation often results in headache, fever, confusion, and, in severe cases, seizures.
• Zika Virus: Zika can cause fever, rash, joint pain, and possibly even birth defects in pregnancies.
• Heartworm: This serious condition in dogs and sometimes cats is caused by parasitic worms transmitted through mosquito bites.
• Malaria: Characterized by fever, chills, and flu-like illness, malaria can be deadly if not treated promptly and properly.
• Chikungunya: No vaccine is currently available for this disease, which is characterized by abrupt fever and severe joint pain that can last years.
• Yellow Fever: Though this disease is very rare in the United States, it has caused several epidemics throughout history, here and elsewhere.
