How Do I Know If I Need Tick Control?

Have you seen a tick around your home? Does this mean it’s time for professional tick control?

Maybe so. The answer to whether to hire Mosquito Squad for professional Bethel tick control is always up to you. However, if your yard is a potential favorable tick habitat, you should really consider it. If you have a tree line border or lush vegetation around your home, there could be lots of woodland creatures running about. There could also be lots of ticks hiding in the low, shaded, moist areas of your yard. The Mosquito Squad team is locally owned and Connecticut ticks are of great concern to us. We recommend a tick control regimen for Bethel residents, whose properties are susceptible to tick invasions.

Do I need tick control if I have a dog?

Did you know that some ticks prefer dogs? It’s true. The brown dog tick is out for your pet’s blood, and they will wait in the confines of your yard, or beneath your landscaping for your dog to come close so they can latch on. The bad part is your dog can have a tick without you even knowing. Burrowed beneath their fur, ticks are free to feast. We recommend that if you have a dog, you also deploy professional tick control. Even for ticks that do not prefer them, dogs are still an ample target. They are active, close to the ground, and will explore spaces in your yard that you never go to – where ticks live.

Even if your dog is on a prescribed tick regimen, it is advisable to get professional tick control for augmented protection.

What time of year should I get professional tick control?

By the end of April in Connecticut, tick populations are coming out of their winter hideaways. Adults are seeking a blood meal to produce eggs. Ticks in other stages of life look for their blood meal to develop to the next stage. Mosquito Squad of New Haven & Fairfield County recommends deploying our tick control in April and continue with treatments through late summer to early fall.

After that, we recommend distribution of our tick tubes to continue to control ticks throughout the whole year.
