Mosquito Squad primarily treats for mosquitoes and ticks, but the barrier treatments also help reduce fleas, gnats, no-see-ums, and other outdoor pests that contact treated vegetation. Some locations also offer perimeter pest treatments targeting ants, spiders, and other crawling insects around the home.
“Mosquito” is in the name, but Mosquito Squad treats far more than mosquitoes alone.
If there is one service Mosquito Squad is known for above all, it’s barrier treatment. This is the treatment which is applied to vegetation, ground cover, and shaded surfaces across the yard. It works because it knocks down mosquitoes on contact when they land on treated surfaces.
The treatment itself doesn’t care what kind of insect comes into contact with it. And so it works the same way on ticks, fleas, and other small insects that move through the same habitat. That includes the blacklegged ticks which carry Lyme disease, a major concern in the New Hampshire Lakes region.
If you have dogs or cats that spend time outside, the flea preventative qualities of barrier treatment are particularly useful. Fleas hide in many of the same shaded and humid spots that mosquitoes do, and the treatment helps keep them out of your yard and off your pets.
Gnats and no-see-ums, those obnoxious and tiny biting insects that swarm near water and in shaded areas, are also reduced by barrier treatment. The insects are ubiquitous, and many people don’t realize just how much this is the case until treatment reduces their presence. It’s a lot more comfortable without gnats and no-see-ums around.
Mosquito Squad can also help you keep pests out of your house. Most locations can also treat the perimeter of your home and its many entry points along eaves, window frames, the foundation, and more. This works wonders against crawling pests—ants, spiders, earwigs, and millipedes have a much harder time moving outdoors when the treatment is in place.
