Expert Mosquito Control In Northern Massachusetts & Southern New Hampshire

There are over 3,000 mosquito species worldwide, 200 of which are in the United States and 52 mosquito species are found in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The presence of any mosquito is dependent on the type of nearby wetland or habitat such as permanent swamps, temporary woodland pools, river flood plains, cattail swamps, or artificial containers (roadside highway drains, old rimless tires, unused swimming pools, uncovered empty trash cans, and birdbaths).

Synthetic, Organic or All-Natural. And we keep copious notes on your property as conditions can change from treatment to treatment.

Most mosquitoes are active primarily during dusk and dawn. They tend to avoid direct sunlight. Mostly they are selective about who they bite. Some feed primarily on humans and other mammals, while others mostly bite birds, amphibians (such as frogs) or reptiles (such as snakes). Those which transmit West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis include some of the most numerous species found in eastern Massachusetts. Mosquitoes also transmit animal diseases, and the probability of a pet dog or cat acquiring heartworm is not remote.

Typically the human disease risk in Massachusetts and New Hampshire becomes detectable in July or August and rises to its highest in September. If the first frost is late, the high risk continues into early October. Historically, the greatest risk is in the southeastern part of NH and northeastern portion of MA, but a disease case could turn up almost anywhere.
