Mosquito and Tick Control in Southeastern Mass

The combination of salt water marshes, cranberry bogs, and densely wooded areas contributes to a growing population of mosquitoes, ticks, and other common pests. 

The warmer months create a pressing concern, as Southeastern Massachusetts is known as a hot spot for EEE and West Nile virus. The cranberry bogs create the perfect breeding grounds for cattail mosquitoes while the salt marshes contribute to the spread of aggressive salt marsh swarmers. These two mosquitoes create a cycle where local wildlife can be affected by EEE, leading to the spread from wildlife to humans. Residential areas also experience pressure from Asian Tiger mosquitoes and the Culex species which are the main carrier of West Nile Virus. These buzzing pests are commonly known to breed within dense vegetation, backyard brush, and lay eggs in flower saucers or clogged gutters. 

Ticks are another local concern, as the local wooded forests and high wildlife population contribute to the spread of deer ticks and dog ticks. Deer ticks are the main carrier of Lyme disease which can lead to swelling, fever, body aches, and long-term neurological complications. Because nymphs are tiny and difficult to notice, many people don’t realize they have been bitten until nymphs have already fallen off. As a result, it’s important for locals in Southeastern Mass to regularly conduct tick checks after spending time in outdoor areas. 

Our team at Mosquito Squad Plus has designed multiple outdoor pest control treatments to reduce and control the presence of mosquitoes, ticks, and other common outdoor pests. Barrier Treatment Plus stands as our traditional mosquito control treatment which is known to reduce mosquitoes by 85-90% and control their presence for up to 21 days. Likewise, Barrier Treatment Plus helps to reduce and control the presence of ticks which can be brought into residential areas by local wildlife or nearby wooded areas. This potent insecticide will be used to target areas where mosquito and tick harborage is common, in order to create a barrier that binds to the surface and disrupts the cycle of breeding. With this plan, our team will return to your property on a rolling 3-week basis to reapply your pest control treatment throughout the duration of your plan.

Outdoor and Home Pest Control in Southeastern Mass

Mosquitoes and ticks are only one piece of the puzzle for Southeastern Massachusetts. Ants, spiders, and rodents also become frustrating problems for residents to manage.

Sugar ants enter homes seeking moisture, food, and shelter and are known to enter homes through weep holes, underneath door sweeps, and through foundational cracks. Carpenter ants prefer to excavate damaged wood to create tunnels and nests for their colonies. Unlike termites, carpenter ants do not eat the wood but the damage is still a significant concern. 

Spiders follow their insect prey into homes and around patios where flying insects tend to gather during dusk and dawn. Yellow sac spiders actively hunt their prey in the night and create small resting sacs in quiet corners or near windows. Orb weavers build significant webs around outdoor areas and porches where flying insects tend to gather near porch lights or windows with bright indoor lights. 

Our Complete Home & Yard program in Southeastern Massachusetts helps to reduce and control the presence of spiders, ants, rodents, and over 20 common pests. Yard Defender uses a combination of liquid and granular products to target areas where pests tend to nest and breed. Home Shield steps in to create a barrier around the exterior of your property to repel and reduce pest entry. Our barrier treatments and exclusion methods will be applied in order to limit the number of pests entering your home on a recurring basis.
