FAQs about pest control
Mosquito season can be a concern in many areas, including San Diego, as these pests can be more prevalent during warmer months. It's important to stay vigilant to protect against mosquito-borne diseases, which can pose health risks to both humans and pets.
Mosquito control treatment pricing varies based on your property size and desired coverage. For a full-yard solution, we recommend our combined mosquito and tick control service. This seasonal plan offers monthly services to keep mosquitoes and ticks out of your property, so you can get back to enjoying your yard with family and friends. If you're looking to protect hardscaped entertaining spaces like a deck, patio, pool, grilling space, or outdoor commercial settings, the mosquito repellent system has you covered.
Natural tick repellents have not been scientifically proven to be effective. Products that contain DEET, Picaridin, and Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus tend to serve as the best tick repellents, according to the CDC. When it comes to protecting your pets from ticks, you should consult your vet. To remove ticks from your yard, the Terminix tick control service begins working immediately to help keep tick populations down.
Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide humans and animals emit. They can also pick up on body heat and perspiration to locate their next meal. While they only live for a couple of weeks, mosquitoes breed rapidly and prefer to lay their eggs in standing water. Ponds, bird baths, puddles, drains, clogged gutters, and anywhere else water collects will attract mosquitoes.
Ticks can live throughout the San Diego area. They are most commonly found in tall grasses, vegetation, overgrown areas, and walking trails.
