Summer in Fredonia, WI, is made for being outdoors. Whether you’re firing up the grill, hosting family get-togethers, or winding down by the campfire after a long day, backyard time is a big part of life here. Unfortunately, mosquitoes and other outdoor pests often show up right when you’re trying to relax. Mosquito Squad of Waukesha County helps Fredonia homeowners reduce mosquito activity and help protect their yards from ticks and mosquitoes, so outdoor plans don’t constantly get interrupted.
Why Mosquitoes Love Fredonia Yards
Fredonia's wooded spaces, frequent rain, and warm summers easily create the perfect conditions for mosquitoes to thrive. Mosquitoes can quickly turn enjoyable outdoor moments into unpleasant frustration. These pests aren’t just annoying; they can also be dangerous due to the diseases they can carry and spread. Routine Fredonia mosquito control treatments help reduce mosquito populations by up to 85–90% for up to three weeks, making it easier to enjoy time outside throughout the season.
More Than Just Mosquitoes
While mosquitoes are usually the most complained about pest during time spent outdoors, they aren’t the only ones hanging around Fredonia. Many homeowners also deal with ticks, fleas, gnats, flies, and ants. Mosquito Squad’s recurring treatment plans defend against these pests and more as part of a comprehensive yard treatment approach.
Why Recurring Treatments Matter
One-time treatments often don’t provide lasting relief. That’s why at Mosquito Squad, we offer recurring treatments every three weeks, starting around before Memorial Day and ending around Labor Day in most Wisconsin areas. This consistent schedule helps keep mosquito activity minimized during peak season. And if you aren’t satisfied between scheduled visits, Mosquito Squad can provide an additional application to help address any lingering concerns.
Yard Defender for Extra Coverage
The Yard Defender package includes a granular application, in addition to the traditional spray treatment, to further address fleas and ticks. This is especially effective in areas where ticks thrive, such as in spaces with woods and tall grasses.
Tick Tubes may also be placed once per year in the spring, with an optional second placement in the fall if requested.
Small Yard Habits That Can Make a Big Difference
Even with professional treatments, a few simple habits can help support mosquito and pest control efforts in Fredonia yards. Mosquitoes only need small amounts of water to reproduce, so keeping an eye on moisture around your property can help limit breeding areas.
Homeowners should regularly empty anything that can hold standing water, such as buckets, toys, planters, and gutters. Trimming overgrown shrubs is also an important part of pest control as insects love to hang out in plants.
These steps won’t replace professional treatments, but they will help make your outdoor space less inviting to mosquitoes. At Mosquito Squad, our technicians always inspect your property during each visit and can point out areas that could use extra attention.
