#1. Mosquito and Tick Population is Quickly Controlled
There’s nothing worse than trying to enjoy your backyard while irritating pests like mosquitos and ticks make it nearly impossible. Repellents may work for a bit, but often become ineffective after 60-90 minutes of application. However, a mosquito and tick treatment program acts quickly to eliminate the current population and prevents a new population of these pests from appearing.
#2. Risk of Lyme Disease and Other Illnesses is Reduced
Lyme disease is the first thing on everyone’s mind when they discover a tick on themselves or a family member – and this isn’t the only harmful illness that ticks are responsible for. Meanwhile, mosquitoes are also known for the incredibly harmful diseases that they can spread. While mosquitoes and ticks are a summertime threat we are used to, no one should have to worry about them in their own backyard. Thankfully, a mosquito and tick treatment program greatly reduces the risks of these illnesses by controlling the mosquito and tick population – meaning you can enjoy your backyard without having to worry.
#3. Organic and Synthetic Methods are Available
Many people wonder if mosquito and tick treatment programs are safe for children and pets. The answer is yes! Many professional treatment programs even offer both organic and synthetic options. Both are applied using a high-pressure spraying truck around the area of your property, including any mulch beds, shrubs, and ornamentals. For increased effectiveness, any wooded areas surrounding your house are also treated up to around 25 feet into the tree line perimeter.
#4. Choose from Flexible Treatment Options
One of the best benefits of mosquito and tick treatment programs is that they are extremely flexible when it comes to your preferences and schedule. In addition to being able to choose between organic and synthetic methods, customers can also choose how many weeks they would prefer to go between treatments. While getting your yard treated once every three weeks will yield the best results, the program will also be effective with treatments occurring every 4-7 weeks. Another convenient perk is that customers who decide to pay for their treatments early in the season and in full can often enjoy a substantial discount.
#5. Other Pests Are Prevented
Mosquitoes and ticks are not the only pests that are eliminated by this kind of backyard treatment program. Customers who decide to invest in a mosquito and tick treatment program will also find themselves free of other critters like beetles, mites, stink bugs, spiders, and more. However, beneficial insects like bees and butterflies, as well as amphibians and lizards, are unaffected by these treatments.
