At Mosquito Hunters™, we’re known for fighting mosquitoes in Willow Grove and beyond. But mosquitoes aren’t the only pest we can keep out of your yard. Our services also include tick prevention, a great way to protect you and your family against these eight-legged pests.
While ticks aren’t as noticeable or pervasive as mosquitoes, they pose a similar risk to local families. Mosquitoes and ticks both feed on warm-blooded creatures, and they can spread dangerous illnesses with their bites. In the case of mosquitoes, you need to worry about conditions like Zika and West Nile virus. With ticks, you’re risking Lyme disease and host of other illnesses.
Our tick prevention services offer an easy way to reduce the risk of tick-borne illnesses in the Willow Grove area. To accomplish this, we use a technique known as a barrier treatment, which prevents ticks from entering your yard in the first place. This way, you and your family can enjoy your yard without having to worry about these eight-legged parasites.
Our most popular type of tick prevention is a Season Pass package. With a Season Pass, we perform a new barrier treatment every 21 days. Each treatment offers at least 3 weeks’ protection against ticks, ensuring continuous coverage.
When applying our barrier treatments, we use a product containing pyrethroids. This ingredient is derived from the chrysanthemum flower, one of nature’s most potent pest-fighters. While lethal to ticks, mosquitoes, and a number of other pests, our treatments are non-irritating to people, pets, and plants. In fact, you’ll find the same active ingredient in products like anti-lice shampoos.
To prevent ticks, we apply our treatment product to the vegetation at the edge of your property. Within 30 minutes of application, the product dries and bonds to the vegetation, creating a surface that stops ticks dead in their tracks. Any tick that comes into contact with the treatment product will be quickly neutralized, preventing them from entering your property.
Want to combine our tick and mosquito control services? That’s remarkably easy to do. Our tick treatments use the same product as our mosquito treatments. That means we can easily perform tick and mosquito treatments at the same time for a small added charge.
Our tick prevention services are provided throughout Willow Grove, as well as Fort Washington, Glenside, Abington, Horsham, Bryn Athyn, and the surrounding areas. We offer our treatments to homeowners and HOAs, as well as commercial and public properties.
