The Dangers of Ticks
Getting professional tick control service is much easier than reading about (let alone experiencing!) the dangers ticks pose.
Ticks feed from warm-blooded animals, pets, and people by inserting their mouthparts and hanging on. Once they bite, they drink their victim’s blood for 3-10 days! As they drink, they can transmit any diseases they carry through their saliva. (Eww!) Even if they don’t spread disease, ticks trigger allergic reactions and infections, especially when their heads break off under their host’s skin! (Blech!)

Where Can You Find Ticks in Your Rhode Island Yard?
You don’t need to go camping at Burlingame State Park or fishing on Olney Pond to run into ticks. They can hitchhike on animals, get a ride onto your property, and make themselves at home. Ticks have favorite hiding places in gardens and backyards where they rest, hide, and breed between blood meals. Our tick control services target these locations … including:
- Wooded areas
- Long grass
- Meadowland
- Shrubs
- Leaf litter
- Wood piles
- Stone walls
Our tick pest control treatment is effective on contact. Once it dries, kids and pets can return to play in your yard, but ticks will stay away for weeks!
Tick Pest Control FAQs
Let’s answer your most frequently asked tick control questions. Gathering knowledge is the first step toward protecting your family and pets from the little blood-suckers!
How Does Professional Tick Control Work?
Effective tick control begins with a thorough inspection of your property. Our certified pest control technicians hunt for and identify the spots where ticks hide to rest and breed between blood meals. Then, we either apply our tick control barrier spray or place our biodegradable tick tubes at strategic spots around your property.
Our specific tick control approach is determined by the homeowner. Either way, we provide three weeks of proactive protection from the pests.
How Often Should I Schedule Tick Treatments?
Schedule Rhode Island tick control every three weeks for ongoing protection. Mosquito Squad’s barrier spray targets ticks on contact and repels them for 21 days. Tick tubes should also be replaced every three weeks.
Our hassle-free, recurring tick control in Rhode Island is available without a contract, so let us help protect your family and pets today!
Can Tick Control Help Prevent Lyme Disease?
Yes! Professional tick control services in Rhode Island effectively reduce the chance that you or a family member will encounter a tick that carries the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends spraying backyards and private property with EPA-registered tick control products to help limit the spread of Lyme.
