Wethersfield Mosquito & Tick Control

Pests are a normal part of spending time outside, but they shouldn’t be a constant annoyance. If you’re struggling to find peace in your outdoor spaces, get in touch with Mosquito Squad in Wethersfield to have our team treat your property with our mosquito control and tick control services.

The Dangers of Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are not just annoying pests; they actually rank shockingly high amongst the deadliest animals on the planet. Worldwide, more than a million people are killed by mosquito-borne diseases, with more than 1,000 of these occurring here in the U.S. Overall, Americans’ attitude toward mosquitoes is indifferent, but Mosquito Squad aims to raise awareness of the severity and commonality of the diseases these pesky blood-suckers can spread right in your backyard. 

The good news is that there are approximately 150 mosquito species that inhabit the United States, but only a handful are capable of spreading deadly diseases. The bad news is that regardless of species, mosquitoes reproduce rapidly. In perfect conditions, a single female mosquito can be to blame for more than a billion babies in less than a month’s time.

Among the dangerous illnesses that mosquitoes spread are: West Nile Virus, Encephalitis–an inflammation of the brain–Zika Virus, Chikungunya, and Yellow Fever. In dogs and cats, heartworms are another very common parasitic infection spread by various species of mosquitoes.

Symptoms shared by many mosquito-borne diseases are fever, rash, conjunctivitis, muscle weakness and aches, neck stiffness, and headaches. Should you begin showing any symptoms in this realm hours or days following a mosquito bite, contact your doctor.

The Dangers of Ticks

Similar to North American mosquitoes, ticks in our area are prominent vectors, which means they transmit illness from host to host as a result of their feeding habits and processes. Ticks are classified as parasites, as they have beak-like projections that penetrate the skin of their host and allow them to feed on the blood of humans and animals alike. Often, ticks go undetected for hours, days, and in the worst cases–weeks. 

The resulting tick-borne disease affects tens of thousands of Americans each year. Diseases carried by the various species of ticks that may inhabit the Hartford area include Lyme Disease, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Alpha-Gal Syndrome, Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness, and Tularemia. 

Following the discovery of a tick bite on yourself, a family member, or pet, you should look out for symptoms that include swelling around the bite site, a “bullseye” rash near the bite site or beyond, fever, muscle aches or stiffness, headaches, or blisters. Contact a trusted physician immediately to discuss proper treatment.

Barrier Treatments

The Mosquito Squad team developed a barrier treatment in the early 2000s which effectively reduces up to 85-90% of all mosquito populations in a given area. Our traditional barrier treatment spray has been trusted by more than 300,000 families across the United States in the years since its creation. 

We have also developed a natural treatment alternative to the traditional barrier treatment, also effective in significantly reducing mosquito populations in a treated area and helping defend against ticks as well. The natural blend is effective for up to 21 days at a time and is made up of essential oils.

We are proud to provide effective mosquito control and tick control options that fit each family’s preferences and each home’s needs.

Additional Tick Treatments

Tick tube treatments are another effective tick control treatment offered by Mosquito Squad in the Hartford area. This process can be a more long-term solution for those concerned about mitigating tick breeding grounds. The tick tube treatment is administered by Squad technicians as they strategically place biodegradable tick tubes in problem areas identified around your property and trust the natural ecosystem to do the rest. 

Each tube is filled with insecticide-treated cotton that small animals collect and use for their nests, spreading the treatment to a larger perimeter. This is an add-on treatment option available with our traditional tick control applications. Granular applications of tick control are also available as an additional service to treat particularly difficult tick populations.
