Mosquitos and Ticks

Coming out of spring, into summer, and even into the early fall, mosquitoes and ticks remain as two major health threats right in your backyard. Short term and immediate discomfort come from bites; however, these pests have the potential to bring life-long consequences as they can transmit detrimental pathogens.

Mosquitoes:

Not only are mosquitoes extremely annoying but they pose a serious threat. On the surface, a mosquito bite only seems like an itchy, little bump, but these bites act as an entrance for some of the world’s most prominent diseases like Zika, West Nile virus, dengue, and malaria. A bite from a mosquito is not a defense mechanism, it’s an offensive mechanism therefore spreading these diseases that can impact your family and even your pets.

Ticks:

Although some ticks are so small you may not even notice them, larval ticks are nevertheless apt to be potential disease carriers. There is a large range of consequences that come from a tick bite: mild discomfort to severe health issues like Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis.
