Helping defend family from pests is a top priority for those considering Cheshire pest control. Here's what you need to know about fighting pests in your yard!

As someone with a family or pets, you already understand how lovely it is to savor the outdoor living season with your loved ones, so when common backyard pests like mosquitoes, ticks, and others threaten your cherished outdoor enjoyment, it's natural to wonder whether professional pest control treatments pose any risks to the children and animals you care about most. The good news is that the professionalism and reliable treatments offered by local experts like our team at Mosquito Squad will help defend family and pets alike from pests. At Mosquito Squad of Hartford, we understand these seasonal concerns because we also struggle with pest issues in our yards, but we have the solutions to match those presented by pests.

Since the early 2000s, pest control solutions have changed a lot as technology and methodologies have evolved, and ours are designed and approved for residential use, meaning our treatments have undergone rigorous testing to ensure their efficacy in local yards. Our highly trained team of technicians, when prompted, will apply our highly effective treatments to pest hotspots such as dense vegetation and shaded spots, as well as around your yard’s perimeter to ensure the best results possible. Each of our mosquito barrier treatments, for example, will last for three weeks at a time and ensure a substantial reduction in mosquito activity! Once our treatments dry completely, typically within 30 minutes to an hour, treated areas are ready for family and pets to enjoy. For families seeking additional peace of mind in their yards, we are also pleased to offer our highly effective natural pest control treatments, which use a unique blend of essential oils that provide similar coverage.

Comprehensive Cheshire Pest Control Solutions That Prioritize Backyard Comfort

Annoyance is certainly a big problem when it comes to backyard pests, yet it is important not to forget that mosquitoes are capable of transmitting West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis to humans, while ticks carry Lyme disease and other serious conditions. These health threats are no laughing matter in CT as they can have life-changing consequences, but professional pest control will help reduce your family's exposure to disease-carrying pests such as these. Our team offers comprehensive solutions for mosquito control, tick control, gnat control, and many other common backyard pests, and you can feel far more confident knowing we have your back. As outdoor enthusiasts ourselves, our team at Mosquito Squad is dedicated to helping families reclaim their yards so you can focus on creating memories rather than worrying about pests all the time.
