Yonkers mosquito & tick control

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.

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.

For the best results, mosquito treatments are typically applied monthly throughout the mosquito season. Regular applications help maintain protection by targeting newly emerging mosquitoes and reducing breeding populations. The exact treatment schedule may vary depending on local weather, mosquito activity, and the type of treatment being used.

Mosquito season can be a concern in many areas, including Yonkers, 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.

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 Yonkers area. They are most commonly found in tall grasses, vegetation, overgrown areas, and walking trails.

Ticks are a concern in the Yonkers area during the spring and summer because warmer temperatures and higher humidity create ideal conditions for them to become active. They are commonly found in wooded areas, tall grass, and leaf litter, where they can attach to people and pets passing by. Since some ticks can carry diseases, taking preventive measures and scheduling professional tick control for your yard can help reduce the risk of encounters around your property.
