Protecting Your Pets from Mosquitoes, Fleas and Ticks in Wilmington and Myrtle Beach

Posted by Mosquito Squad

April 3, 2018

What a great week of weather we have been having.  Sitting outside, have you noticed that we aren’t the only Wilmington and Myrtle Beach residents getting out to soak up the warmth?  That’s right, bugs are here already.  It happens quickly when the weather warms and the amount of precipitation we received over the winter and spring only accelerates the breeding process.  Mosquitoes, fleas and ticks are a problem for us and they are also a problem for our furry family members.

We often don’t think of insects affecting our pets but they absolutely can be harmful for them as well.  Mosquitoes, ticks and fleas bites are more than just a nuisance; they can each transmit vector-borne diseases to our pets.  While flea presence is quickly known by the incessant scratching and chewing, ticks can remain on our pets for a lengthy period of time, transmitting Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis and even an illness known as tick paralysis. The better known heartworm disease is transmitted from mosquitoes and can be deadly if not treated properly.

Mosquito Squad of Wilmington and Mosquito Squad of Myrtle Beach want to keep your four-legged friends safe and happy.  With our new flea and tick treatment, along with our proven mosquito protection, we can control the pests in your treated yard all season long.  Our barrier treatment is applied to the foliage in your yard every 21-days where mosquitoes and ticks reside, eliminating them on contact.  Additionally, we will mist your grass and shaded areas around your structure to keep fleas and ticks at bay.

As with any treatment, it is still important to check your animals for ticks that have attached and remove them properly.  Annual veterinarian visits are essential to keep your pets healthy and calling Mosquito Squad of Wilmington and Myrtle Beach will not only keep mosquitoes, fleas and ticks away from your pets, you’ll be protecting your family as well.  Give Mosquito Squad of Wilmington and Mosquito Squad of Myrtle Beach a call today to get started on your pets protection and keep them safe all season long.
