How Our Traditional Treatment Tackles Ticks

Mosquito Squad’s traditional barrier treatment is not just for mosquitoes. It also tackles ticks!

Connecticut boasts the distinction as one of the 14 Northeastern U.S. states, which accounts for 95% of confirmed Lyme disease cases annually. It goes without saying that Hartford area residents need to remain vigilant in lowering their chances of tick encounters. Lyme disease, though the most common, is not the only tick-borne danger that lurks outside our homes and businesses. Others, like anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and the rare but potentially fatal Powassan virus, remain threats for our families, including our pets.

Why Do We Have So Many Ticks in CT?

Thriving tick populations rely on a few factors, including environmental conditions, availability of wildlife, deforestation, and more. It might be difficult to believe that ticks can survive cold Connecticut winters, but they do. Going into a state of diapause, adult ticks are tucked away beneath ground litter and the soil, remaining fairly safe from the threat of winter weather.

Another factor we must consider is the lack of proper tick control measures. Mosquito Squad of Hartford deploys highly effective tick control in Hartford and surrounding areas throughout the busiest part of the year for ticks. If you choose to treat your property for ticks, that is a step in the right direction to lower tick encounters and incidences of tick-borne illnesses. However, if your neighbors do not put forth a concerted effort to control ticks, they will be left to proliferate, creating many future generations.

How Does Our Avon Mosquito Control Formula Fight Ticks?

Mosquito Squad’s traditional barrier treatment has been treating properties for ticks since 2005. This proprietary pesticide blend is tough on mosquitoes and ticks. However, our tick control technicians play a significant role in sufficiently controlling and deterring ticks around your home.

The first step in effective tick control is knowing where to treat. Our technicians do not arrive at your home or business to haphazardly apply barrier treatment and leave. They put a keen eye on all areas of your property to identify potential tick habitats and work to interrupt them. They are happy to inform you how to keep these habitats from re-forming too. This is how you become a part of the tick control equation. Yard care is a very important part of lowering your chances of harboring ticks outside your home.

Once tick habitats are noted, our technicians will create a custom-tailored treatment plan and carry it out. This will include treating your property’s perimeter, as well as vegetation on which ticks might attach themselves to quest for their blood meal. After the application of our barrier treatment, which kills ticks on contact, the countdown begins. Once the tick control formula dries, it will remain effective, repelling ticks for about 21 days until the next treatment is due.
