During summers in the Delaware Valley, there’s no outdoor pest more annoying than mosquitoes. But when hiring pest treatment services for your backyard, it’s important not to overlook ticks. While less of a nuisance than mosquitoes, these eight-legged pests pose a serious danger to people and pets. That’s why Mosquito Hunters™ strongly recommends tick prevention treatments for families in the Fort Washington area.
Our tick treatments work through a technique known as a barrier treatment, which stops ticks in their tracks when they attempt to enter your yard. By preventing ticks from entering your yard in the first place, we can reduce the risk of tick bites on your property, which lowers your family’s risk of contracting a tick-borne illness.
Wondering what makes tick prevention so important in areas like Fort Washington? The problem isn’t ticks themselves—it’s the illnesses they spread.
While tick bites can be painful or irritating, the physical damage they cause is relatively minor. However, if ticks have been infected by dangerous bacteria or viruses, these microbes can enter the victim’s bloodstream. This can result in a serious illness such as Lyme disease or ehrlichiosis.
Tick-borne illnesses can lead to serious symptoms and can be life-threatening in certain cases. More than 40,000 cases of these illnesses occur in the US each year, with many of them starting in backyards and other close-to-home areas in the Fort Washington area.
The only way to avoid tick-borne illness is to avoid exposure to ticks. And that’s where tick prevention treatments from Mosquito Hunters can help.
At Mosquito Hunters, our tick prevention treatments offer an easy, effective, and affordable way to reduce your family’s risk of tick encounters. Each treatment will prevent tick activity for 21 days, and with ongoing treatments, we can maintain protection throughout tick season. With fewer ticks around, your family will face a much lower risk of tick-borne illness when spending time in your yard.
Our tick treatments use the same active ingredient and rely on the same treatment schedule as our mosquito control services. This allows us to perform both treatments in a single visit. Many of our Clients in Fort Washington choose to combine the two services into a single treatment plan, which allows you to protect your yard against both of these pests throughout the summer months.
