Yes, and many professional pest control providers offer bundled programs that treat for mosquitoes and ticks at the same time outside. Perimeter treatments are also often available to help control ants, spiders, and other crawling insects.
Dealing with pests one species at a time is inefficient. You can call someone for mosquitoes in June, another for ants in July, and yet another for wasps in August. But an all-in-one program solves your problems with far less overhead.
Pest control usually works best when you think of it as two complementary packages. You have the indoors and the outdoors.
For outdoor pests, like your mosquitoes and ticks, that’s where yard barrier treatment works best. This is applied to vegetation, ground cover, and shaded areas across your property on a regular cycle (usually every 21 days). The product knocks down mosquitoes and ticks on contact when they rest on treated surfaces, and it also reduces fleas, gnats, and other insects in the same habitat.
As for the indoor pests—ants, spiders, earwigs, centipedes, and so on—you treat the perimeter of your home. This removes their entry points by helping block off your foundation, door and window frames, eaves, and other common ways in.
Pests never stop here in Northeast Wisconsin. In spring, you have mosquitoes and ticks, then come the summer wasps and ants, and then you have Asian lady beetles and boxelder bugs in the fall. Breaking pest control into two main parts helps you deal with each problem as it arrives and before it escalates. The yard treatment handles warm-season biting pests, and the perimeter treatment addresses the household pests that become more noticeable as they seek shelter in the fall. Bundling also helps reduce costs, and it’s a lot easier to manage.
