For most Mashpee, MA families, this summer’s plans include staying close to home. And of course, everyone is craving fresh air and sunshine. You want the kids, your pets, and your sweetheart to be able to enjoy the back yard comfortably. That means taking steps now to pest proof your yard.
The number one type of pest you need to be concerned about are insects. There are millions of different types of insects, and many of them carry very dangerous, potentially life-threatening diseases. Generally, these diseases are transmitted via bite. In our region, the insects most likely to be of concern are mosquitoes, which carry West Nile, Zika and other serious diseases – there’s a reason the mosquito is known as the world’s deadliest animal – and ticks, which are known for transmitting Lyme Disease.
Mosquito Control: What You Need to Know
Our Mosquito Control protocol is designed for homeowners who need the maximum amount of protection available for their family. It’s a multi-faceted system that identifies and eliminates mosquito breeding areas on your property, with targeted pest control treatments delivered directly to the areas where mosquitoes congregate to sleep. Ongoing care includes regular inspections to ensure new breeding areas do not develop on the property, as well as preventative treatments to keep mosquito populations from re-establishing in your yard.
What If I Don’t Have Any Mosquito Breeding Areas on My Property?
As a Mashpee, MA lawn care provider, we’ve talked to many, many homeowners who were absolutely sure there was no where on their property that provided the conditions mosquitoes prefer for breeding. But the truth is that small pools of water can form in lots of places, and many of them are unnoticeable if you don’t know what to look for. A clogged gutter or the saucer underneath your patio container garden are the sort of tiny breeding site that can result in huge clouds of mosquitos. We’ll help you find and eliminate these sites so your family stays safe.
