Tick Control in Lakes Region
Tick control is vital in helping protect your family and pets from diseases and infections spread by ticks. We’re no longer safe in fall and winter. With warming winters and more people moving into tick country, year-round tick pest control services by Mosquito Squad® of the Lakes Region are essential.
The Dangers of Ticks
Professional tick control is the best way to avoid the dangers ticks pose to your family, pets, and livestock. This gets kinda’ gross, so brace yourself!
Ticks feed on warm-blooded animals by inserting their mouthparts and latching on for 3-10 days. Their saliva prevents clotting, allowing disease transmission like Lyme or Babesiosis. (Eww!) If you try to remove a tick incorrectly, its head may remain stuck inside, causing an infection. (Ugh!)
Where Can You Find Ticks in Your Lakes Region Yard?
You know to watch for ticks when camping at Ellacoya Start Park or fishing at Umbagog Lake. … but residential tick control services in the Lakes Region are essential wherever you live. The little blood-suckers hitchhike on animals to find their way onto your property, where they find cool, damp, and shady spots to rest, breed, and hide.
Mosquito Squad's flea and tick control professionals search your property for places that harbor ticks. These include:
- Wooded areas
- Long grass
- Shrubs
- Leaf litter
- Wood piles
- Mulch
In addition to hiring our tick control services, keeping your yard tidy makes it less inviting to ticks.

How Does Professional Tick Control Work?
At Mosquito Squad, every tick control mission begins with thorough reconnaissance. Our certified pest control professionals explore your property, identifying the places where ticks hide to lay their eggs and rest between blood meals. Then, we use our conventional tick exterminator barrier treatment or strategically placed tick tubes to target the pests.
We use the tick control service you choose. We repeat our guaranteed treatment every three weeks — no contract needed — to ensure proactive protection throughout the season.
How Often Should I Schedule Tick Treatments?
EPA-registered tick control treatments are effective on contact and keep new ticks from moving in for 21 days. For proactive protection from the blood-sucking pests, we recommend recurring tick exterminator visits every three weeks.
At Mosquito Squad of the Lakes Region, we offer hassle-free recurring tick control services without a contract, helping to protect your family and pets. We guarantee our services, so you have nothing to lose but your ticks!
