Help Protect Your Pets Against Mosquitoes and Ticks This Season

Posted by Mosquito Squad

June 14, 2024

As pet owners, we cherish the joy and companionship our furry friends bring to our lives. However, with the warmer months comes an increased risk of mosquitoes and ticks, which can be a significant health hazard to our pets. At Mosquito Squad of Williamsburg, we understand your concern for your pets’ well-being, which is why we offer mosquito control that helps defend your yard for every member of your family, including the four-legged ones. Your pets deserve to frolic in outdoor spaces, just like you!

The Dangers of Mosquitoes and Ticks to Pets

While humans are prone to being bitten by creatures like mosquitoes and ticks, our pets are arguably more vulnerable. Our pets will often venture into areas of the yard where we wouldn’t normally go, and these areas are also where ticks and mosquitoes are likely sheltering. This is concerning because mosquitoes and ticks are carriers of diseases that can be harmful, if not deadly to pets. Mosquitoes can transmit various illnesses to our pets including heartworm disease, which is particularly dangerous because there is no cure for heartworm in cats. Dogs do have heartworm medication, but it is important to consider how to keep mosquitoes away in the first place. Similarly, ticks carry Lyme disease, which can lead to severe health issues in both cats and dogs. By significantly reducing the mosquito and tick population in your backyard, our services decrease the likelihood of these pests harming your pet.

Mosquito Control for Pets

Our mosquito control strategies are designed to create a more enjoyable outdoor environment for you and your pets. By targeting the areas where mosquitoes and ticks thrive, we minimize the presence of these pests and, consequently, the health risks associated with them. This allows your pets to frolic freely in your garden or backyard without the constant worry of mosquito and tick bites that could lead to serious health conditions.

Why Mosquito Control is Critical for Pet Health

While dogs are often at the forefront of discussions about pet protection from mosquitoes and ticks, it's crucial to remember that cats are equally at risk. Cats can contract heartworm from mosquitoes, and unfortunately, there is no available medication for heartworm-infected cats. This makes preventive measures even more essential, as the only way to help protect cats is by reducing mosquito exposure.
