Stop Ticks in Their Tracks with Effective Tick Control

As strange as it may seem, the cooler months after summer has settled down for the year are a terrible time for ticks and tick bites.

The smartest course of proactive action is to keep disease infested ticks at bay – and better yet – to have them eliminated by Mosquito Squad of North Shore’s year-round tick control.

To keep them at bay, there are several things you can do once autumn sets IN and those beautifully colored leaves start to fall. In fact, there are 6 time-tested and proven ways. They are called the 6 C’s of Tick Control.

• Clear Out: Reduce your tick exposure by clearing out areas where lawn and tree debris gathers. Ticks thrive in moist, shady areas and tend to die in sunny, dry spots. Don't position playground equipment, decks, or patios near treed areas.
• Clean: Eliminate leaf litter by clearing it from around the house and lawn edges. We also recommend mowing tall grass to keep your lawn short.
• Choose Plants: Since deer can bring ticks to your yard, select plants and shrubs that don’t attract deer. You can also install physical barriers to keep deer out of your yard. Check with your local nursery to determine the best choices for your area. Learn which plants deter deer from HGTV.
• Check Hiding Places: Know tick hiding places and check them frequently. Fences, brick walls, and patio retaining walls are popular hiding places.
• Care for Family Pets: Family pets can suffer from tick-borne disease and can also carry infected ticks into your home. Talk to your veterinarian about using tick collars and sprays.
• Call the Pros: Professional tick control can offer two levels of service to eliminate ticks before they get to you. Our traditional mosquito control mist kills adult ticks on contact, followed summer with tick tubes placed around your property.
