Pontiac has no shortage of outdoor beauty—mature trees, grassy yards, and the kind of natural setting that makes a backyard feel like a retreat. Unfortunately, that same setting is also a magnet for mosquitoes. If you’ve found yourself spending more time swatting than relaxing, Pontiac mosquito control from Mosquito Squad of Metro Detroit is designed to help turn that around with solutions for your property and lifestyle.
Mosquitoes Show Up Fast—We Respond Faster
All it takes is a bit of standing water and some shade, and mosquitoes are in business. These pests don’t just interrupt your time outdoors—they bring along potential health risks, including West Nile virus and Zika. In an area like Pontiac, where summer tends to bring rain and humidity, mosquito season can hit hard and linger longer than you’d like.
That’s why our treatments are targeted and consistent. Our technicians apply barrier sprays to the places mosquitoes like to hide: dense shrubs, under decks, the edges of structures, and shaded corners of the yard. We offer both a traditional barrier treatment and a natural version that uses essential oils. Either option can help reduce mosquito activity for up to 21 days, and recurring treatments can keep them from building up again.
Tackling Ticks Where They Live
Ticks might not be as obvious as mosquitoes, but they’re just as serious. These small pests can carry Lyme disease, babesiosis, and other illnesses—and they’re surprisingly good at staying out of sight. In Pontiac’s mix of wooded neighborhoods and lush landscaping, ticks have no shortage of places to hide.
Our tick control approach is built to cover the areas where ticks are likely to show up: around fence lines, in leaf litter, near tree bases, and along brushy edges. We also offer tick tubes, which are especially helpful in cooler months when young ticks are easier to control.
Don’t Overlook the Smaller Problems: Spiders and Flies
While mosquitoes and ticks tend to steal the spotlight, they aren’t the only pests showing up in Pontiac yards. Spiders often settle into basements, garages, or even outdoor furniture. And while most are harmless, their webs and sudden appearances aren’t exactly welcome. Flies aren't quite as scary as some other pests, but they are less than desirable. They often gather near outdoor dining spaces, trash bins, and anything that smells remotely like food. Once they’re in, they’re tough to keep away.
We take these problems seriously, too. Our team sprays around windows, door frames, foundation cracks, and other access points to help discourage spiders from nesting. For flies, we focus on zones where they breed and hang out—so you don’t have to keep swatting while trying to eat lunch outside. It’s all part of our broader pest control approach, which looks at the full picture of what’s bugging you—not just the usual suspects.
