Tick Control in Annapolis
Your home should be a safe, comfortable space where you can relax and enjoy
time with family and friends. This extends to your outdoor living area
as well. Unfortunately, one big deterrent to this is the prevalence of
Lyme disease throughout Anne Arundel County. At the Mosquito Squad of Annapolis,
we work tirelessly to ensure our Annapolis clients are protected from
tick-borne illnesses, such as Lyme disease. Our tick control professionals
employ proven, effective methods to eliminate ticks from your property.
Lyme Disease in Maryland
This tick-borne disease is spread by the deer tick, also known as the blacklegged
tick. Because these insects are so tiny, they typically evade detection
until it’s too late. They are predominantly active in their largest
numbers between the months of May and October, but somewhat smaller populations
are present year-round.
Brush, tall grass, leaf build up, and wooded areas are common spots for
tick habitation. Even when you don’t traverse these areas, pets
and mice can carry ticks and bring them into your home, exposing your
loved ones to their dangers.
Tick Control for Your Home
Mosquito Squad of Annapolis offers dependable protection from ticks with our treatment
and prevention tick control system. Our barrier treatment, coupled with
tick tubes, targets both adults and young ticks, effectively wiping them
out. Our barrier treatment deals with adult ticks on your property, eliminating
them on contact.
For tick larvae and eggs, we target the nesting instincts of mice and other
rodents through the use of tick tubes filled with treated cotton. The
vermin take the cotton for their nest bedding. Tick nymphs feed on rodents
at the beginning of their life cycle. This behavior exposes them to the
treated bedding, effectively eradicating the young ticks, and eliminating
this hazard from your property with 90 percent efficacy.
