It is a common misconception that ticks die or hibernate after the first frost. In fact, the adult deer tick can remain active from late fall right through to summer.

According to Massachusetts’ Department of Public Health, tick activity peaks twice a year. Tick activity first peaks in March and lasts through August. The second peak occurs from October to November.

Female mosquitoes must first obtain a “blood meal” before she can lay her eggs. This meal is the blood from animals or humans. Eggs can survive dry conditions for days, but they’ll need to be exposed to water before they hatch.

The entire lifecycle takes 2 weeks on average to complete, but conditions can make the lifecycle last 4 days to a month on average.

Want to save money?

Having your property treated is a very important part of seasonal protection from Mosquitos, Ticks, and Fleas.

There are simple things that you can do to help as well…

Eliminate Sources of Standing Water:

Since mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water, eliminating any source of water around your yard is critical if you’re going to get rid of mosquitoes. Even a small puddle or a bucket of stagnant water is enough for thousands of mosquitoes to emerge after breeding has occurred.

Here are some less obvious, mosquito breeding grounds on your property:

Bird baths: A bird bath is an enjoyable addition to a garden or yard, allowing you to watch birds at play. But these can also harbor mosquitos. Clean your bird bath regularly, drain it when it’s not in use and use a mosquito dunk (a service/product we offer) when it’s full of water to avoid breeding.

Cans, bottles and containers: Rusted or clean, new or old, cans and containers that collect standing water will certainly attract mosquitoes.

Tree stumps: Any stumps that allow water to pool are a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Kiddie/toddler pools: Same as birdbaths, these should be drained when not in use.

Overwatered grass: Even a sodden yard can become a breeding spot for mosquitoes, so if you have a habit of watering your lawn too heavily or have poor drainage in your yard, you’ll likely have many more mosquitoes than your neighbors.

Sometimes eliminating these mosquito breeding habitats is enough to keep your property protected from pests. If not, call,text, or email and we’ll come evaluate your property, and design a tailored affordable program for you.

So, Mosquitos lay whats called egg rafts. Each female can lay up to 300 eggs at a time. After this rain storm I’m sure they are going to be looking to play their end of season eggs to start the life cycle again next spring..

DID YOU KNOW?

Mosquitoes are members of a group of almost 3,600 species of small flies within the family Culicidae. The word "mosquito" is Spanish and Portuguese for "little fly".

The graphs below show that in August of 2022, less than 0.3% of visits to EDs in any week were related to exposure to ticks, while less than 0.2% of visits to EDs in any week were related to diagnosis of a tick-borne disease. The 2022 data are shown compared to both the minimum and the maximum number of visits recorded over the last three years. While tick activity usually increases in Spring and early Summer and then again in Fall, exact timing is dependent on weather.

We are up and running offering organic and synthetic services.

You may not be seeing alot of mosquitoes, fleas, or ticks right now, but this is actually a vital time of year to control the population of these pests.

Adult ticks become more active as soil temperatures cool down. Eggs are being laid for next years generation. Fleas are going to be targeting your pets for a warm place to stay for the winter.

Mosquitoes, Fleas, and Ticks do not travel far from where they are born. So if we can control late into the season, and early in the Spring, it makes for a much easier time controlling populations on your property.

We also offer PERIMETER PEST CONTROL. This means a technician will apply the product in and around the foundation of your home or place of business. We target where the sill meets the foundation, and any other entry points the technician may find.
(Most homes= $65 per application)

Call or message for a quote and to reserve a spot in our fast filling schedule for the 23’ season.
Or for guaranteed protection against Mosquitoes fleas and ticks this fall, gives us a shout! We will be doing applications into the 2nd week of November.
