Thwart Mosquitoes and Ticks, Attract Fireflies

Is there any way to successfully control mosquitoes and ticks without deterring lightning bugs from your yard?

Nashville residents know how to make the most of summer. Whether it’s music on the patio, dinner on the deck, or a warm night that begs for barefoot dancing under the stars. However, nothing ruins the vibe like buzz-by mosquito attack or a sneaky tick seeking a snack. 

At Mosquito Squad of Nashville, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between comfort and the beauty of nature this summer. That’s why we help you thwart mosquitoes and ticks—without chasing away the summer magic, like the soft flicker of fireflies lighting up the night.

Invite Fireflies, Let Them Stay a While

Love seeing fireflies in your backyard? These gentle summer visitors thrive in low-light, areas. You might not see them in downtown Nashville, but they are widely visible in the surrounding Davidson County communities, like Oak Hill, Sylvan Park, and Belle Meade. If you love the nostalgia of summer nights aglow with fireflies, there are ways to help attract them to your backyard.

Mow regularly to control potential tick habitats but leave decorative grass or taller grass toward wooded areas or in spaces farther from your home and outdoor living areas.

Lightning bugs are frequently found in areas with standing water, moving or still. Add a water feature to attract fireflies but use an agitator or fountain to prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs in the water.

Cool lights, including blue lights, can deter fireflies. As do super-bright lights. Use ambient, warm-colored outdoor lighting and/or choose to turn out the lights at dusk for Mother Nature’s own light show.

FUN FACT: Fireflies are fond of wildflowers, like goldenrod and black-eyed Susan, native grasses, and other plants, like native pines.
