Westchester Tick, Mosquito Control: What’s the Difference Between the Two?
Posted by Mosquito SquadDecember 20, 2023
Summer in Westchester is a time of vibrant life, full of outdoor activities, lush landscapes, and unfortunately, a resurgence in mosquitoes and ticks. With temperatures soaring and the rainfall providing the perfect breeding ground, mosquitoes are enjoying their prime season. Meanwhile, ticks lurk in the shaded areas around homes, patiently waiting for their next host. While both are a nuisance and health concern, is there a difference in the control measures for these biting pests? Let's explore how Mosquito Squad handles Westchester tick and mosquito control.
Westchester Tick and Mosquito Control, One Formula Does the Job
While they may differ in appearance and behavior, mosquitoes and ticks are often handled using a similar approach by our team at Mosquito Squad. Our mosquito control treatments target both pests, effectively reducing their presence around your property. The mosquito barrier treatment adheres to vegetation, forming a protective layer that eliminates adult mosquitoes and ticks on contact and continues to repel these creatures for weeks. With recommended treatments every 21 days, you can enjoy a significant reduction in these biting pests, allowing you to relish your outdoor space without worry.
Tick Control Westchester NY, an Extra Step for Year-round Protection
While our tick control treatment takes care of both mosquitoes and ticks, ticks require an extra level of attention. Mosquito Squad's tick control options also offer a special feature: tick tubes. These tubes contain treated cotton that attracts small mammals like mice and chipmunks, which are primary hosts for ticks. When these small mammals collect the cotton for their nests, which is harmless to them, they carry the tick treatment with them, eliminating many of the ticks that shelter in their burrows. This approach adds an extra layer of defense and ensures year-round control against these disease-transmitting pests.
Westchester's summer and its natural beauty are meant to be enjoyed, not spent worrying about ticks and mosquitoes. Understanding the similarities and differences between these pests and their control measures allows you to choose the best option for your home and loved ones.
