The main difference is how they're made and how long they last. Natural sprays use plant-derived ingredients like essential oils and work on a shorter cycle, while conventional professional treatments use longer-lasting active ingredients that hold up better against heavy pest pressure. A professional can apply either one. 

Rain creates new standing water where mosquitoes breed. It also increases the humidity so they can stay active longer.

Ticks are most dangerous from late spring through midsummer, roughly May through July, when nymphal blacklegged ticks are active. Nymphs are the size of a poppy seed, easy to miss, and are responsible for most Lyme disease transmission.
