If You Need Tick Control in Hartland, WI, Mosquito Squad Has Your Back!

Ticks aren't always obvious pests in the same way that mosquitoes are, since they tend to hide in dense foliage rather than flying around and biting you outright. However, these pests are still dangerous. They can carry Lyme disease and a range of other tick-borne illnesses that are just as important to avoid. Mosquito Squad's tick control treatments focus on areas that make great tick habitats, like tall grasses and leaf litter, to control them.

If you've found ticks on yourself or your pets, it's time to ask Mosquito Squad of Waukesha County for help! We can significantly reduce the risk of tick-borne illnesses in your community with our expertly developed tick control services, giving you the easy relief and peace of mind you need to enjoy your outdoor spaces.

What Species of Ticks Are Around Hartland, WI?

Did you know there are at least 16 different species of ticks that have been reported in Wisconsin? The ones that are most commonly seen are blacklegged ticks and American dog ticks. Both species have risks associated with them.

Blacklegged ticks are also known as deer ticks. Their bodies are flat and dark brown and their heads and legs can be either dark brown or black. They are found all over Wisconsin, including Hartland. They prefer to live in forested habitats, which are considered to be a great concern to public health because they can carry several diseases, including Lyme disease and Powassan virus, to both humans and animals.

Another common species of tick in Wisconsin is the American dog tick, also known as the wood tick. They have dark brown bodies with light brown heads and sometimes have distinct white markings on their backs. Their legs are reddish-brown and can resemble crab legs. It is rare to contract diseases from wood ticks, but they are known to carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever, which means it's important to take their bite just as seriously as deer tick bites. They have been seen all over the state of Wisconsin, and live in both wooded areas and grassy meadows.

Where can I find professional tick control in Hartland, WI?

Hiring professional tick control is the best way to help protect your community from the threat of tick-borne illnesses. Mosquito Squad's specially-designed treatments are made to address the places where ticks are most likely to be found and target them at all stages of the life cycle.

Mosquito Squad has proven the effectiveness of both our traditional sprays and innovative treatments like tick tubes, which are one of our most popular treatments. 

These tubes contain cotton that has been treated with pesticides. We distribute the tubes throughout your lawn so that mice can find them and use the cotton to build their nests. Mice are the preferred hosts for tick larvae, so when they latch on to a mouse and are brought back to its nest, they are exposed to the pesticide. This allows us to control them at their most vulnerable stage and prevents them from fully maturing and continuing the breeding cycle.
