What Sparta Homeowners Should Know about Mosquitoes and Ticks Before Spending More Time Outdoors This Summer

Tick and mosquito bites are uncomfortable at best and, at worst, they could transmit disease. Sparta mosquito and tick control can help you avoid dangerous encounters with them

You know the feeling - you step outside during the summer with the goal of enjoying the beautiful weather, but your hopes are immediately dashed by the arrival of blood-sucking mosquitoes. In the Northeast, where gorgeous summers are one of the highlights of the year, mosquitoes are an incredibly common caveat to outdoor relaxation, and their populations are on the rise. Thanks to milder temperatures throughout the year on average, mosquitoes are thriving in our region, and so are ticks, both of which are renowned for their role in the disruption of backyard relaxation. In addition to the disturbances they cause, however, both of these tiny parasites are carrying darker secrets that could seriously affect your quality of life. Sadly, ticks and mosquitoes are both disease vectors, meaning they can pick up diseases from animals and spread them to humans, often without being detected. 

While mosquitoes are nowhere near as dangerous in the Northeast as in South America or Africa, they are demonstrating an ability to transmit illnesses like West Nile virus, Zika virus, and others to humans in our region, highlighting the importance of proactive defensive measures. The same goes for ticks, which are notorious for their role in the spread of Lyme disease here and throughout the country. Unlike mosquitoes, which only occasionally transmit disease here, ticks are far more likely to make humans and pets ill, because 50% or more of ticks are estimated to carry Lyme disease and other conditions in our region. This is a remarkably concerning statistic, and this number is backed by the growing incidence of Lyme disease across the nation; experts believe that upwards of 475,000 people are infected with this bacterial disease each year. Lifelong consequences can result from a late diagnosis of this disease, so why allow ticks to thrive in your yard? Fortunately, you don’t have to, thanks to powerful Sparta mosquito and tick control solutions from our team at Mosquito Squad Plus.
