Mosquito, Tick, & Pest Control Services in Blythewood, SC
Blythewood is a picturesque city just north of Columbia. It isn’t hard to find homes with large lots, partially wooded, and with the space to enjoy spending time outside. Tree-lined neighborhoods are the norm here; they make the area appealing, but they also can create cover for various nuisance pests like mosquitoes, ticks, and more.
Warm, humid weather can keep pest activity noticeable for much of the year. Mosquito Squad Plus of Columbia helps Blythewood homeowners understand why pests may be showing up and work with you to determine the best treatment plan moving forward.
Mosquito Control in Blythewood, SC
While mosquitoes need water to lay eggs, they don’t require a large pond or river to do so. In fact, the currents that are found in larger bodies of water will prevent hatching. Mosquitoes can breed in the amount of water in a plant saucer. Once active, adult mosquitoes seek shelter in shrubs, tall grass, and other shaded areas around your home. Our mosquito barrier treatment was designed to help control up to 85-90% of mosquitoes for up to 3 weeks. This is a recurring service, scheduled on the same 3-week schedule to provide consistent control.
During the active mosquito season, homeowners can do simple yard maintenance tasks in an effort to support the professional treatments. Regularly dumping standing water and keeping gutters clear will reduce places where mosquitoes can breed.
Tick Control in Blythewood, SC
Ticks, small arachnid pests, seek out hosts to bite and drink blood from to survive. They lurk around transitional areas, where there is shade as well as frequent traffic from people and animals. Leaf litter, tall grass, and bushes are common spots for ticks to rest while waiting for a new host.
Pay close attention to the hairline, skin creases, and pets after spending time outside, especially in warmer months.
Our tick control service focuses on the parts of the property where ticks are more likely to wait for passing hosts. Keeping grass trimmed, clearing leaf litter, and cutting back dense growth can also make wooded yard edges less inviting.
Flea and Pest Control Options for Your Yard
Fleas are usually brought inside by pets, but they may also be brought into a yard by wildlife. Once established on your property, they will gather in shaded, damp places like the underside of decks, shrubs, and thicker landscaping.
Once fleas become established, their life cycle can make the problem difficult to manage through yard cleanup alone. Depending on local service availability, flea treatments may be included as part of a broader pest package for properties dealing with several outdoor pest concerns. Pet owners should also speak with their veterinarian about an appropriate flea-and-tick prevention routine.
