Why You Should Be Worried About Ticks & Mosquitoes
Ticks and mosquitoes pose a significant health threat as they can transmit dangerous diseases to humans. Mosquitoes can carry diseases such as malaria, West Nile Virus, dengue fever, and chikungunya. Ticks, on the other hand, can spread Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, ehrlichiosis, relapsing fever, and babesiosis. It’s crucial to protect yourself from these diseases by taking measures such as using insect repellent and checking for ticks after spending time outdoors.
Where can I find ticks and mosquitoes in my yard?
Ticks and mosquitoes can be found in various areas of your yard, including tall grass and weeds, shady areas, and areas with standing water. Ticks can also be found on the edges of wooded areas or along paths and trails. Mosquitoes, on the other hand, can breed in any amount of stagnant water, including flower pots, bird baths, or even small amounts of standing water in gutters or low areas of your lawn. It’s important to inspect your yard regularly and eliminate any areas where standing water may accumulate to reduce the number of mosquitoes in your yard.
Things to consider before having your yard sprayed.
Before having your yard sprayed, several factors need to be considered. Timing is critical, and you should aim to spray your property during periods of consistently warm weather when ticks and mosquitoes are active. Additionally, the level of infestation affects the frequency with which you should spray. If you’re regularly finding ticks or experiencing a large and growing mosquito population, you should increase the frequency of treatments until the population declines.
It’s important to consider the types of insects you’re targeting and time your product applications to best control those insect populations. The nature of your landscape can also affect the frequency with which you need to spray. Additionally, the animal population on your property can impact how often you should spray. Certain animals, such as deer and other wildlife, can attract and carry ticks and fleas, so if you have a high population of these animals, you may need to spray more frequently to protect your property.
Why Yard Spraying is an Excellent Solution for Ticks and Mosquitoes
When it comes to mosquito and tick control, not all spraying programs are created equal. Outdated or low-quality products, along with varying weather patterns and levels of infestation, can impact the effectiveness of these programs.
