Say Goodbye to Bugs With Mosquito, Tick & Pest Control in Worcester
The area of Worcester combines densely forested areas, urban centers, and nearby Blackstone and Nashua watersheds to create a unique environment for residents and pests alike. The aging historic homes lead to an increase in rodent activity, while the nearby river areas contribute to an increasing number of mosquitoes entering residential areas.
Mosquito Squad Plus is proud to support residents with comprehensive Worcester pest control services. Whether you seek a one-time spray or recurring treatments, we are here to help tailor the right pest control plan for your home and needs.
Worcester Mosquito Control With Barrier Treatment
The nearby swamps and watersheds contribute to the spread of mosquitoes in Worcester. As these areas collect standing water, mosquitoes can lay between 100 to 300 eggs at a time, leading to an increase of mosquito activity after heavy rainfall. Mosquitoes will travel into urban and residential areas and rest underneath mature trees, within tall grasses and garden areas. From there, mosquitoes will continue to lay eggs in clogged gutters, bird baths, and other areas where water can stagnate unnoticed.
Our Barrier Treatment helps to control mosquitoes for up to 21 days and reduce their presence by up to 85-90%. Our trained technicians will use EPA-registered products to target areas where mosquitoes typically rest and breed. This allows us to create a barrier that binds to the surface in order to reduce mosquito activity and disrupt the cycle of breeding. For plant-based options in Worcester, we offer a natural treatment blend of botanical oils which helps reduce and control mosquitoes for up to 14 days.
Tick Control and Outdoor Pest Control With Yard Defender
Wasps will build their homes within underground burrows, along stone walling, and underneath rooflines and eaves. As the season progresses, wasps become increasingly aggressive as their sources of prey and sugar begin to dissipate. Deer ticks are a concern for Worcester residents as they can attach between toes, beneath hairlines, and behind ears. These pests are known to transmit Lyme disease to their host and will wait within dense brush, tall grasses, and areas along stone walling.
Yard Defender helps to reduce and control the presence of wasps, ticks, and over 20 common outdoor pests in Worcester. Our team will use liquid and granular treatments to target areas around your home where pest harborage is common.
Home Shield and Rodent Control for Worcester Homes
Ants in Worcester become an issue as they enter homes for food, shelter, and moisture. Carpenter ants are of particular concern, as they will tunnel through wood within homes in order to create more tunnels and nests for their colonies, ultimately leading to structural damage. Boxelder bugs feed on nearby boxelder and maple trees and will flock to the sunny side of homes as the temperature cools. From there, boxelder bugs will enter homes through attic spaces, gaps around doorways, and through damaged mesh screens. Home Shield helps to defend your Worcester home from boxelder bugs, ants, spiders, and other common pests. This is accomplished by using a combination of exclusion methods and exterior treatments to create a perimeter of defense around your home.
Oak and maple forested areas and aging homes contribute to the spread of rodents in Worcester. Because mice can squeeze through a hole the size of a dime, and rats the size of a quarter, even small cracks and crevices become easy entry points. Once inside, rodents will destroy insulation for their nests, chew through electrical wiring, and scavenge for food within cabinets. Our rodent control starts with a free inspection, and our Complete Home & Yard package uses exclusion methods and EPA-registered products to seal up points of entry and deter future rodent visitors.
