Lumberton, NC Pest Control
Previously a timber town, Lumberton is right on the Lumber River and nestled between old harvesting fields. Wooded neighborhoods are perfect for wildlife, which means the presence of nuisance pests.
Once warm weather begins, it isn't unusual to see people in their yards, gardening, eating on patios, or just enjoying the space. Of course, Lumberton’s heat and humidity can bring plenty of pest activity with it. Mosquito Squad Plus of The Sandhills provides professional pest control services in Lumberton, NC with targeted treatments and a straightforward service process.
Mosquito Control in Lumberton, NC
Mosquitoes live and breed where water, shade, and vegetation meet. Mosquitos breed in still water, only needing the smallest amount of water to do so. Planter trays, upturned buckets, and even the lip of a trashcan lid provide enough water for a female mosquito to lay hundreds of eggs. Mosquitoes go from egg to adult in as little as 7 days, building populations quickly, especially in the humid, warm weather of Lumberton.
Mosquitoes may carry West Nile virus or Zika virus and can transmit heartworm disease to pets, mosquito control can support both outdoor comfort and practical prevention. Our service focuses on the shaded vegetation and other areas where adult mosquitoes commonly rest. We have multiple treatment options depending on your property and what your pest control goals are. A natural treatment option made with botanical oils that can be effective for up to 21 days, while a traditional barrier treatment can help control and repel up to 90% of mosquitoes, effective up to 3 weeks.
Tick Control in Lumberton, NC
Ticks often wait in tall grass, brush, wooded edges, and leaf litter until a person or animal passes close by. Ticks bite a host for blood and can sometimes transmit various diseases when they do this. Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever are two such diseases that you should be aware of.
Because ticks can be so small, a bite might not be noticed while you're outside. Make sure, in addition to professional tick control, you are checking yourself, kids, and pets for ticks before coming inside after spending time in the yard.
Our tick control in Lumberton, NC targets areas where ticks are most likely to hide and reproduce. By treating these areas, we help reduce tick activity, interrupting their life cycle before they can reproduce again.
Pest Packages and Special Event Service in Lumberton
Mosquitoes and ticks are not the only pests that can cause problems around a Lumberton yard. Fleas like to linger in the shade, and are quick to hop onto family pets when they're outside. They may linger around damp spots in the yard, or in dark areas like under a deck.
Ants are another common concern, building mounds or keeping close to the foundation of the house, depending on species. If you are dealing with multiple pests, our pest packages might be a good option to treat more than just mosquitoes.
If you are planning on hosting outdoor events this summer, but don't feel like you want to commit to a recurring treatment plan, we do offer a special event mosquito service. This service includes two visits leading up to the event to help reduce mosquito activity. It's a great option for backyard weddings, reunions, or birthday parties.
