Risks Associated with Mosquitoes & Ticks
Mosquitoes and ticks are more than just annoying pests. They can pose serious health risks to families and pets. In Lakewood, these pests can carry diseases that can cause chronic illness if left untreated. Protection starts with understanding the potential dangers lurking in backyards.
Some of the diseases mosquitoes and ticks can transmit in our area include:
- West Nile Virus: Spread primarily through mosquito bites, West Nile Virus can cause flu-like symptoms and, in severe cases, neurological complications.
- Lyme Disease: Transmitted by deer ticks, Lyme disease can lead to fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash. If left untreated, the infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system.
How Do Professionals Handle Mosquitoes & Ticks?
At Bug Swatters, we understand the unique challenges posed by mosquitoes and ticks in our area. Our experienced technicians use a multi-faceted approach to target these pests at every stage of their life cycle, providing comprehensive and long-lasting protection for a property.
Here's how we tackle mosquito and tick infestations:
- Thorough inspection: We begin with a detailed inspection of a property to identify breeding sites, resting areas, and high-risk zones.
- Targeted treatments: Our treatments include the application of EPA-approved insecticides to foliage, shrubs, and other areas where mosquitoes and ticks harbor.
- Larvicide application: We target mosquito larvae in standing water sources to prevent them from developing into biting adults.
- Ongoing monitoring: We provide ongoing monitoring and follow-up treatments to ensure continued protection throughout the season.
Our customized approach makes sure we address a property's specific needs, providing effective control and minimizing the risk of mosquito—and tick-borne diseases. With our professionals, you can confidently enjoy your outdoor spaces, knowing that these pests are under control.
-
Does it work for other bugs?Yes. Another added benefit of treating your property for mosquitoes and ticks, is that it helps reduce other bugs such as flies, gnats, and chiggers. However, this specific treatment is most effective on ticks and mosquitoes.
-
How often do you treat a property?We recommend treating every 21 days for optimal effectiveness. After this time, exposure to the sun causes the product to degrade, weakening the protective barrier around your yard. Under typical conditions, once the product is dry, it can resist rain and other elements for the duration of the 21 days.
-
Is exposure to these products safe for humans?Yes. All our products are approved by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and are completely safe for human exposure. Before approaching the treated area, one should wait approximately 15-20 min to allow the product to dry.
-
How does it work?Our technicians treat the property with a product that kills both mosquitoes and ticks on contact. Most mosquitoes and ticks will live or land in the near vicinity before approaching anyone. Standing water, such as collected rain water, must be treated or removed. By specifically targeting treatment in the areas they breed, habitat, and land, the mosquitoes and ticks are eliminated before they can cause any harm.
When Is the Best Time to Start Mosquito & Tick Control?
In New Jersey, mosquito and tick season starts early in the year and lingers well into the fall. These pests thrive in warm, humid climates, making proactive control essential. The ideal time to begin treatment is typically in early spring, just as temperatures start to rise consistently above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows for targeting emerging adult populations and disrupting their breeding cycles before they have a chance to multiply.
Early intervention is key to minimizing the risk of bites and potential disease transmission. By establishing a protective barrier around properties early in the season, mosquito and tick populations can be significantly reduced, allowing for the enjoyment of outdoor spaces comfortably throughout the warmer months.
