When you work with Mosquito Squad of Springfield for your Florence mosquito control , you will be happy to know that our yard treatments, while formulated to control mosquitoes , work on fleas and ticks too. Our mosquito treatment for yards is an affordable and effective way to control mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas, and help keep them away for season-long protection.
Why Are Tick, Mosquito, and Flea Control Important?
If you have ever had a run-in with fleas, you understand how impossibly itchy their bites are for us and our pets. They are also very difficult to get rid of if you acquire an infestation. To that end, it is also true that by the time you notice one flea, you already have an infestation somewhere around or inside your home. Mosquito Squad of Springfield is pleased to offer barrier yard sprays that will help keep those infestations at bay. And in case you didn’t know, fleas also carry harmful diseases, which can infect our families. These include typhus, tapeworm, and tularemia, as well as potentially fatal plague. Yes, plague still exists. There are about seven reported human cases of plague in the U.S. annually.
Lyme disease , the dreaded and predominantly known tick-born infection, is probably the first thing we consider when we discuss ticks. And while Lyme disease awareness is highly important, there are other diseases, which ticks can transmit like tick relapsing fever, babesiosis, and Powassan virus, which is rare but potentially fatal. There is an average of 30 cases of Powassan virus in the United States annually.
Mosquitoes, annoying as they are, can also transmit nasty illnesses to our loved ones. And much like fleas, they proliferate at lightning speed, quickly taking over our backyards. The more mosquitoes we encounter, the higher our chances of contracting mosquito-borne illnesses. One bite is all it takes to expose us to a mosquito disease, like West Nile virus, and Eastern equine encephalitis , another potentially fatal vector-borne illness. There are approximately 11 cases of human EEE in the U.S. annually.
