Tick Control

If you live in New England, you know about the dangers of ticks. These tiny parasitic pests feed on their hosts' blood, whether birds, reptiles, or mammals, and can spread serious illnesses through their bites. Lyme disease, babesiosis, and anaplasmosis are the three most common tick-borne diseases in our area. Also, other more rare illnesses, such as Powassan virus and tularemia, are just as dangerous, if not more so.
Because ticks like moist, shaded areas with some overgrowth in which to hide, they are often found along the outskirts of residential properties, and there is a good chance that your property is home to some of these pests. While most prevalent in the spring and fall, they are also active all through the summer months, which means that your family is at risk of contracting tick-borne illnesses for a good portion of the year.
If you want to protect your family from the illnesses that ticks spread, you need to eliminate the tick populations that may be living in your yard. Deer ticks and dog ticks are the two most common tick species in New England, but Lone Star ticks can also be a problem. At Master Mosquito Control, we are experts on tick biology, behaviors, habitats, and treatment methods. We understand what areas ticks naturally gravitate to, what conditions are inhospitable for them when they are most active, and how to best eliminate them from your Northeastern Massachusetts or Southern New Hampshire property.
