Tick & Mosquito Control:
Keep Your Yard Safe This Summer and Fall
The warm days of summer bring happiness and outdoor fun, but they also attract unwanted visitors: ticks and mosquitoes. Ensure the safety of your family and pets from these bothersome pests with our traditional and organic control solutions, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor spaces with peace of mind.
Tick Control
According to the CDC, controlling the tick population in your yard is a crucial step towards safety. Ticks are notorious for spreading diseases such as Lyme disease, which can have severe health implications for both humans and pets. Almstead's tick control services offer both organic and traditional treatments, including cedarwood oil and Pyrethrum, to effectively eliminate and repel ticks. Our organic solutions are designed to be environmentally friendly while providing robust protection. Consult with our experts for solutions that are tailored to your specific needs.
Mosquito Control
Spraying your yard for mosquitoes can help keep you and your family safe from diseases like West Nile virus and Zika virus. Almstead offers safe and effective mosquito control solutions for high population areas. This is particularly important as the invasive Tiger mosquitoes, known for their aggressive biting behavior and ability to transmit diseases, become more prevalent. Our traditional mosquito controls are highly effective, but we also provide organic options for those who prefer a more natural approach. These organic treatments utilize Cedarwood Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Citronella Oil, Rosemary Oil, Garlic Oil, and Red Thyme Oil, which are not only effective in controlling mosquitoes but also safe for children and pets. These oils work by repelling mosquitoes and disrupting their life cycle, reducing their population over time.
Effective pest control goes beyond treatments. It's essential to reduce environments conducive to ticks and mosquitoes. For ticks, this means keeping your yard tidy, reducing shady areas where ticks thrive, and creating barriers with wood chips or gravel between wooded areas and your lawn. For mosquitoes, eliminate standing water where they breed. Regularly check and empty containers like birdbaths, flowerpots, and gutters. Our experts can provide additional tips and help you identify and mitigate potential breeding sites on your property.
Enjoy your outdoor spaces with confidence knowing that it is protected from ticks and mosquitoes in an environmentally responsible and safe way.
