Yes, and it's the standard rather than a premium add-on. Barrier treatment controls mosquitoes and ticks in the same application because both pests depend on the same shaded, humid corners of a yard.
It would be convenient if mosquitoes and ticks could be treated at the same time. Luckily, what’s convenient happens to be both possible and even standard. Mosquitoes and ticks hide in the same places and can be knocked down with the same products. One treatment can handle them both.
Mosquitoes and ticks both need to stay out of dry air. Heat dries them out quickly so they need to hide in places like the undersides of leaves, deep in shaded foliage, tall grass, or leaf litter. Exposed sun is bad news for them, so they avoid it whenever possible.
When a technician treats the shaded foliage, plant beds, perimeter, and transition zones, both pests are standing in the same line of fire. Knockdown happens on contact, then the residual keeps working for about three weeks. That means mosquitoes and ticks will continue to be knocked down as they encounter treated surfaces. Right when the treatment wears off, around three weeks, it’s reapplied. That means the populations never have a chance to rebound.
Greenwich is an especially good place to treat for mosquitoes and ticks. The wooded lots that make Fairfield County properties picturesque also make them good pest habitats. That’s not good in a region where Lyme disease is an everyday local concern. Meanwhile the humid coastal summers keep mosquitoes in business from spring deep into fall. Both problems can be largely mitigated by one treatment, by default.
Households wanting an alternative can ask about the plant-based natural treatment, which covers the same shared habitat and simply gets reapplied more often. And where tick pressure runs heavy, tick tubes layer on top nicely. This reaches the mouse nests where immature ticks develop.
