Tick Prevention in Sterling Heights

At Mosquito Hunters™, we know that even tiny creatures can be dangerous to people and pets. Mosquitoes, for example, can transmit illnesses like Zika and West Nile virus with their bites. Ticks pose a similar danger, spreading conditions like Lyme disease, babesiosis, and other serious conditions. That’s why we strongly recommend our tick prevention service for backyards in Sterling Heights, MI.

Our tick treatments work similarly to our mosquito control services. We apply a tick-fighting barrier to the edge of your yard, which neutralizes ticks that attempt to enter your property. This way, you and your family don’t have to worry about tick encounters when spending time in your yard.

The Importance of Tick Prevention

When it comes to outdoor pests in local backyards, most homeowners focus on mosquitoes. That makes sense, given how disruptive and annoying these six-legged pests can be. But if you only focus on mosquitoes, other dangerous pests can crawl under the radar, putting you and your family at risk.

This is what often happens with ticks, which are harder to spot and less in-your-face than mosquitoes. Ticks thrive in areas that are grassy or bushy, which allows them to hide out and then attach themselves to unsuspecting hosts. When ticks bite these hosts, bacteria and viruses in their saliva can be transmitted into the bloodstream.

Cases of tick-borne illness have been on the rise for more than a decade. In recent years, more than 40,000 cases have been reported each year. Roughly two-thirds of these cases are Lyme disease, a condition that can have life-altering or life-threatening consequences.

The only way to avoid these diseases is to avoid tick bites. Our tick prevention treatments will make this easier for your family by keeping ticks out of your yard in the first place.

Tick Treatments in Sterling Heights, MI

Our tick prevention treatments offer a proven way to reduce tick activity on your property. We offer these treatments to Clients in Sterling Heights and Troy, as well as the surrounding areas.

Using a technique called a barrier treatment, we will apply our treatment product to the vegetation at the edge of your yard. The treatment product bonds with the vegetation, creating surfaces that neutralize ticks on contact. When a tick tries to pass through this barrier, it’s stopped dead in its tracks.

Each treatment works for 21 days at a time, and you can maintain continuous coverage via regular treatments. We recommend an ongoing treatment plan to keep your yard protected during tick season, allowing you to enjoy your yard throughout the warmer months of the year.
