Although small in size, mosquitoes and ticks are a big nuisance here in New England.
Nothing detracts from fun times outside like these pests. Not only are they irritating, but they can also be dangerous due to their ability to carry and transmit potentially deadly diseases.
For that reason, professional tick and mosquito control is a wise investment. You want to feel comfortable going out and spending time in your yard.
If you’re considering investing in mosquito and tick control services in Massachusetts and Southern Maine, you might be wondering what your options are. There are quite a few companies offering these services and you might wonder what separates one from another.
In this article, we will discuss how to choose the best mosquito and tick control services so that you can ensure the best results.
How to Choose Mosquito and Tick Control Services
If you were to do an online search for mosquito and tick control services in Massachusetts or Southern Maine, you would see that your choices are abundant. So, how do you narrow down the options to the company that is right for you?
First and foremost, we recommend that you spend time on their websites. Before choosing a service provider, it always makes sense to do some research and have a better idea of what you’re investing in.
Take time to read reviews and to see what existing clients like about the company you’re considering. Look at the company’s About Us page and learn who they are and what they have to offer.
Here are a few other things to consider as you weigh your options for tick and mosquito control.
Are They a Local Company?
As you look through the options for tick and mosquito control, you’ll find that a lot of companies in our region are part of a franchise system. They have a local branch but they are part of a national company that services thousands of people around the country.
A key difference for Seacoast Turf Care is that we are a locally owned and operated company. We are not a franchise.
At Seacoast Turf Care, we are highly focused on providing local customer service and getting to know the individual properties (and homeowners) that we are working with. It’s something that we feel sets us apart.
Do They Offer Comprehensive Services?
As you look at tick and mosquito control options you’ll also notice that many of these companies are solely focused on those services. Companies like Mosquito Joe and Mosquito Squad were founded on mosquito control and then also started offering tick control.
While that’s certainly fine, we know that chances are, you have a lot of other needs for your property. If you hire a company that solely focuses on tick and mosquito control then you’ll still need to hire another company to handle your lawn and tree care needs.
That’s another key difference from Seacoast Turf Care.
At Seacoast Turf Care, we also offer lawn care services including fertilization, weed control, grub control, lawn aeration, and more. We can also handle common household pests with our quarterly pest control program.
Along with all that, we have a sister company that specializes in tree care like pruning, tree removal, and more.
Being able to offer more comprehensive services allows us to do more for our customers. We know that tick and mosquito control are not your only needs. If you’re someone who likes spending time outside then you also want to have a nice lawn and landscape to enjoy.
We know that people are not able to get outdoors and enjoy their properties if they’re constantly being bothered by unwanted pests. That’s why we have found that mosquito and tick control services go hand-in-hand with the other services we offer.
A Word on DIY Tick and Mosquito Control
In talking about choosing mosquito and tick control services we know that sometimes homeowners consider the DIY route. We understand that rather than choose a professional, you might be wondering why you can’t just do these services on your own. After all, there are store-bought products out there.
But we would strongly advise against DIY tick and mosquito control for a few reasons.
For one, DIY tick and mosquito yard spray will not be as effective as the products being used by a professional. Whether you’re talking about a homemade concoction that you’ve whipped up in the kitchen or even store-bought control products, they simply aren’t going to work as well as commercial-grade, professional products.
Of course, it’s not just the product used but also how they are applied.
The product application is probably going to be more involved than you realize. Since professional mosquito and tick control will involve using professional equipment, you’re going to get better results. A pro will make sure they’re reaching those hard-to-reach spots where these pests might be hanging out.
There is also a safety factor to consider. The mosquito and tick control products that we use at Seacoast Turf Care are safe and effective. But a key to that is the fact that we are applying products properly with safety in mind.
When you take these services into your own hands, you might risk your and your family’s safety as a result.
