Dog ticks and deer ticks are a big problem in this state, spreading diseases
that affect both people and pets. Over-the-counter solutions often don’t
work, as ticks rapidly multiple and hide in hard-to-reach areas. Enjoy
peace of mind knowing that your property is protected against ticks with
a professional treatment from Mosquito Squad of Central Massachusetts.
We use a multi-step process that kills adult and baby ticks and focuses
on keeping them out of your yard for good. If you have ticks in your yard
now, we have some helpful tips that make your yard less vulnerable against
these pests. Once you’re ready to take a step toward a nearly pest-free
yard, contact us for an in-person yard evaluation or call us for an over-the-phone quote.
OUR GUARANTEE PROVIDES PEACE OF MIND
Any tick treatment ordered from the Mosquito Squad is backed by a 100-percent
satisfaction guarantee. Our treatment should eliminate nearly 100 percent
of ticks, and if it doesn’t we’ll respray the yard or give
you a refund. If the respray doesn’t get rid of 85-90 percent of
ticks, we’ll issue a refund with no hassle. That’s how confident
we are in our work.
BARRIER TREATMENT TREATMENT GETS RID OF TICKS
If you’re looking for a way to kill ticks on your property instantly,
a traditional barrier treatment is the solution. A licensed team of applicators
visits your home with backpack mist blowers, which are used to apply an
EPA-registered, time-released solution to the exterior of your yard and
damp, cool places where ticks gather, such as near woodpiles or around
tree lines. The result of the barrier treatment is an 85 to 90 percent reduction
in ticks and a big drop in other pests, such as mosquitoes, spiders, flies,
and gnats.
For a treatment that repels pests instead of killing them, request an naturalbarrier treatment. We’ll use our in-house tick repellent, which we refine
annually for superior results. An organic barrier treatment repels 65 to 80
percent of ticks and keeps mosquitoes, certain ants, fleas, and other
pests out of your yard. This is a gentler treatment that lasts for up
to two weeks before another mist is required.
GET RID OF NYMPH TICKS
Our team locates mosquito and tick-breeding areas and then treats or removes
them. This helps reduce the young tick population temporarily, but a long-term
solution is needed. That’s why we place tick tubes in your yard
to draw mice’s attention. Inside each biodegradable tick tube is
insecticide-treated cotton, which mice gather to build a shelter. As the
mice interact with the cotton, the insecticide goes into their blood.
Mice are the most common feeding target for nymph ticks, and the ticks
die quickly as they try to feed on the mice’s blood.
