F.A.Q.

Rising temperatures, increasing daylight, and higher humidity bring insects and other pests out of dormancy. Then they start breeding and foraging, all in a fairly compressed window of time.

You likely won’t need to be at home for mosquito treatment. The work is done outdoors, so as long as the technician can treat your yard, they can do the work without you being there.

Mosquitoes need standing water to breed and shaded, humid spots to rest. They can find that easily by lakes where standing water tends to pool and vegetation gives them cover during the hot, dry parts of the day.

The highest-risk window is late May through early July, when nymphal blacklegged ticks are active and nearly impossible to see on the skin. But tick season in Wisconsin Lake Country stretches from early spring through November, so it’s important to do daily tick checks even when it’s not peak season.
