To reduce the risk of getting ticks on your property, you should contact the professional tick control experts at Mosquito Squad. Our licensed and trained professionals share with you the 6 C’s of tick control tips to help keep ticks out of your yard.
Reduce your tick exposure by clearing out areas where lawn and tree debris gathers. Ticks thrive in moist, shady areas and tend to die in sunny, dry areas. Don't position playground equipment, decks, or patios near treed areas.
Eliminate leaf litter by cleaning it around the house and lawn edges. We also recommend mowing tall grass to keep your lawn short.
Since deer can bring ticks to your yard, select plants and shrubs that don’t attract deer. You can also install physical barriers to keep deer out of your yard. Check with your local nursery to determine the best choices for your area. Learn which plants deter deer from HGTV.
Know tick hiding places and check them frequently. Fences, brick walls, and patio retaining walls are popular hiding places.
Family pets can suffer from tick-borne disease and can also carry infected ticks into your home. Talk to your veterinarian about using tick collars and sprays.
Professional tick control can offer two levels of service to eliminate ticks before they get to you. Our traditional mosquito control treatment kills adult ticks on contact, while tick tubes are placed around your property to entice mice. Mice collect the cotton in the tick tubes for bedding, and since most ticks get their first blood meals from mice, they are exposed to the treated cotton that effectively eliminates them. Strategically placed, tick tubes prompt field mice to incorporate tick-killing material in their bedding. This helps effectively eliminate hundreds of tick nymphs found in each mouse nest.

Asian Beetle Control
Though they won’t transfer disease to you, Asian beetles have a painful bite and leave an unpleasant odor with stains behind when they’re smooshed. Not to be confused with sweet Lady Bugs, Asian beetles will make their way indoors to bother you if they’re not caught outside.
Chigger & Clover Mite Control
Chiggers are tiny bugs that can’t be seen by the human eye, attaching themselves to a host for several days at a time. Clover mites, on the other hand, are visible and leave stains in their wake. We’ll treat both pests at once so you can enjoy your yard.
Fire Ant Control
True to their namesake, the sting of a fire ant bite is painful for humans and animals. They leave no room for relaxing outdoors because you’re constantly looking for an ant mound to avoid. If fire ants are holding you hostage inside your home, we'll come to the rescue.
Flea Control
If fleas are coming for your pets, it’s only a matter of time before they get to you as well. Don’t let these bloodsuckers bite onto anyone; we will target the areas of your yard where fleas gather to stop the spread.
Fly Control
No one enjoys having flies buzz around, but they’re much more than a nuisance. Flies pass hundreds of pathogens onto humans from the different surfaces they land on. And when they hang around in mass, it’s likely because there’s an underlying source to find and take care of. We can help.
Gnat Control
Does anyone want gnats around? Gnope. Threatening the comfort and health of humans and pets, female gnats feed on blood, leaving itchy, swollen bumps behind. Our pros have the most effective treatment methods for these irritating pests.
Mosquito Control
Natural Mosquito Treatment Option
While our Traditional Barrier Protection Treatment products are registered with the EPA, we also offer a solution that uses essential oils for a completely natural repellant that kills mosquitoes and ticks on contact. Lasting up to 21 days, our technicians handle application schedules that let you enjoy your yard within 30 minutes of service.
No-See-Um Control
Even if they’re not visible, these pests swarm and bite, spreading disease as they go. Our automatic misting system is the perfect solution to permanently rid No-See-Ums from your yard. This system allows for consistent control with 30-second misting sessions throughout the day, so you can take back the outdoors.
Pet Protection
Spider Control
Stink Bug Control
As their name implies, stink bugs leave an odor that will ruin any outdoor time you have in mind. Whether you need one-time treatment, seasonal, or consistent control, our EPA-registered formula will clear out these smelly pests.
Tick Control
Wasps, Hornets, & Yellow Jackets
Unlike their friendly, pollen-feeding counterparts, hornets and yellow jackets are a type of wasp. Wasps are aggressive, unpredictable, and can sting many times. They become particularly angry if they believe their nests are being disturbed. We have the equipment and knowledge to remove the nest and prevent a return.
