Tick Control in North Shore & Boston
In Massachusetts, tick season extends year-round, making professional tick control a vital part of protecting your family's health.
At Mosquito Squad® of North Shore & Boston, we provide reliable tick control services to help protect your family and furry friends from ticks and the diseases they spread.
The Dangers of Ticks
Ticks are disgusting little blood-sucking pests that can carry and transmit severe illness and cause infection. Professional tick control services would prevent you from having to learn about this, so brace yourself!
Ticks bite and latch onto warm-blooded hosts for 3 to 10 days, injecting saliva that may carry diseases like Lyme or Anaplasmosis. Improper removal can leave the head embedded, risking infection.
Where Can You Find Ticks in Your North Shore & Boston Yard?
Ticks no longer wait to ambush you when camping at Cape Ann or fishing at Sandy Pond — you can find them on your property! Ticks need shady spots, damp soils, and tall vegetation for questing or hunting for their next host. They hide in these spots, resting and breeding between blood meals.
So, our highly trained tick control technicians search for prime tick hiding places on your property, including:
- Wooded areas
- Meadowland
- Tall grass
- Damp mulch beads
- Wood piles
- Leaf litter
- Weeds
To supplement our tick control services, consider fixing any broken irrigation and keeping your yard tidy.

Can Tick Control Help Prevent Lyme Disease?
Yes, by reducing the population of infected ticks, professional tick control helps to prevent Lyme disease. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is actively combatting the spread of Lyme disease.
