Tick Control for Vacation Homes Near Lake Gaston

Nothing beats having some time to get away from it all and relax in one of your favorite spots. The Lake Gaston area offers so much for those wanting to get away, with its picturesque waters and surrounding nature. But the last thing you want to worry about when spending a day in your favorite place is ticks! Professional tick control is most effective when it reduces tick populations before they become a problem, and Mosquito Squad Plus of Lake Country has you covered with vacation home tick control.

The Tiny Parasites You Need to Know About

Ticks may not be on your radar when it comes to vacation fun, but they should be! Ticks are one of the most pervasive pests, and they can cause serious harm to you, your family, and your pets. They are considered external parasites and feed on the blood of mammals, birds, and reptiles. Some of them carry Lyme disease, which is the most common tick-borne illness in the United States. They can also carry and transmit many other diseases, including Babesiosis, Powassan disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS).

Where Are the Ticks on My Property?

Ticks prefer shaded areas and are often found in tall grasses, shrubs, leaf litter, and wooded areas--precisely where you’d like to spend these warm days escaping the sun! One of the best ways to help vacation home tick control is by keeping up with your landscaping to limit the areas where ticks can thrive. They cannot fly or jump, but instead, they cling onto those they come in contact with, especially your furry friends! Pets can inadvertently carry infected ticks onto your property and into your home, increasing your exposure to dangerous diseases. Be sure to contact your veterinarian for additional ways to help keep your pets protected, but know that tick control treatments can also be a great way to minimize ticks around your property.

What Can Be Done About My Exposure to Ticks?

Mosquito Squad of Lake Country provides mosquito, tick, and spider control services April through October each season, and we can treat your vacation properties to help keep you, your family and your pets protected. We offer two levels of service to help eliminate ticks before they invade your space. Mosquito Squad Plus has traditional tick control spray that will be sprayed in areas around your yard where ticks breed and hide out. Routine treatments help you enjoy your vacation home with greater peace of mind.

The team at Mosquito Squad Plus also offers tick tubes that are placed around your property to attract mice and other small rodents. Mice collect the cotton with a biodegradable product for bedding, and the ticks that would feed on the mice are then exposed to the treated cotton, and tick nymphs that are found in the nests are minimized. Tick tubes installed on your property by the professionals at Mosquito Squad Plus can help keep ticks under control so you can enjoy your time at your vacation home.
