F.A.Q.

Outdoor pests like mosquitoes, ants, and spiders are attracted by exterior conditions like moisture, vegetation, outdoor lighting, and gaps in your home's exterior.

Ticks are most active in Virginia from April through September, with peak activity occurring in June and July when both nymph and adult ticks are seeking hosts.

The blacklegged tick (aka deer tick) is the only species in the Eastern United States that transmits the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease.

Studies show that mosquito repellent bracelets and wristbands provide minimal protection. They may slightly reduce bites on the hand wearing the bracelet, but they don't create a large zone of protection around your body.
