Tick Tube Treatments in Northwest Indiana
How Our Tick Control Works in Crown Point, Gary, Valparaiso & Beyond
Over the last few years, the number of reported cases of Lyme disease and
other tick-borne illnesses has been constantly on the rise in the United
States. You may be using home remedies and methods currently, but the
only truly effective way to protect your family from ticks is through
the utilization of professional tick control. At Mosquito Squad of Northwest Indiana, we
utilize an effective combination of our barrier sprays, and our biodegradable
tick tubes to exterminate ticks before they even have a chance to get to you.
First, we apply our traditional mosquito barrier treatment to your property
which kills adult ticks on contact and repels them from returning to the
area. Then, we strategically place tick tubes in unobtrusive locations
around your property to attract field mice. That's correct, we said mice.
Mosquito Squad's tick tubes control tick populations by utilizing the natural
instincts of mice. Most ticks acquire their first blood meals, and a majority
of the diseases they carry, from mice. Tick tubes contain cotton treated
with an EPA registered insecticide designed to specifically target and
exterminate ticks. After introducing the tick tubes to the environment
around your property, the mice will begin to collect the treated cotton
for bedding materials. They will then deliver it directly to their nest
spreading the insecticide to other mice and coating their fur, turning
them into little mobile tick exterminators. It’s especially important
to consult a professional tick exterminator, like Mosquito Squad of Northwest Indiana,
to determine where to place the tick tubes for optimal tick control.
