Should I Worry About Ticks and Mosquitoes If I Have Pets?
Posted by Mosquito SquadApril 9, 2024
Yes. Both ticks and mosquitoes can be harmful to your pets.
These pests are bothersome, it’s true. However, if your pet encounters an infected tick or mosquito, they can become very ill. Dogs and cats are susceptible to illnesses, such as Lyme disease, Eastern equine encephalitis, heartworm infection, Tularemia, West Nile virus, Babesiosis, and more. What’s more, if you have a pet that loves to spend time in your backyard, they could attract more pests, which can make yours and their time outdoors very uncomfortable.
Mosquito Control St. Louis is a package deal.
Mosquito Squad of West St. Louis County is pleased to offer not just St. Louis mosquito control, but a pest control package to help control a number of pests. Our Pet Lovers Package helps allay ticks, flies, and gnats too. These pests can hamper enjoyment of your favorite outdoor spaces, but we can help you take your yard back with effective pest control services aimed at controlling pests that your dog could attract.
Do I still need flea and tick prevention for my pets?
We always recommend following your pet’s preventative recommendations, as prescribed by their Veterinarian. Oral preventatives help control ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes by entering the pet’s bloodstream and body tissues. When a pest feeds on the pet’s blood, they will take in the medication, which disrupts their nervous system, ultimately eliminating the pest.
Some pet owners use topical pest prevention methods, and those can be effective too. Mosquito Squad’s Pet Lovers pest control package is meant to augment your chosen preventative, casting a much wider pest control net through barrier protection.
Tick Control Tubes Continues Working in the Off-Season
If you live in an area, where ticks are prevalent, Mosquito Squad offers an extended tick control effort that continues working when ticks are overwintering. Tick control tubes can be placed around your property, where ground rodents find them and steal the cozy cotton from inside. This pesticide-treated cotton will then be passed to ticks if they are in proximity to it. Additionally, any ticks that attempt to feel on the rodent will come in contact with the pesticide on the rodent’s fur and body.
