If you have a recurring mosquito problem, the answer is likely yes. Professional barrier treatments deal with mosquitoes on a population level in a way that is very hard to do with DIY treatment alone.
In general, mosquito control won’t harm your garden. Properly applied barrier treatments are directed at the foliage and resting areas where pests hide, not vegetable beds or blooming flowers.
Mosquitoes survive at high altitude by adapting to shorter seasons and colder temperatures, and by breeding wherever water collects. There are fewer species up high than at sea level, but the ones that live there are well suited to the conditions.
The most common spiders around Denver homes include wolf spiders, funnel web grass spiders, yellow sac spiders, cellar spiders, and the western black widow. Most are harmless, except for the black widow, which is dangerous if it bites you.
Ticks need places to hide when it’s hot and dry outside. Remove their hiding places by: keeping grass short, clearing leaf litter and brush, creating a buffer between wooded or open-space areas and your lawn, and removing conditions that attract the rodents and wildlife that carry ticks onto your property.
