Tick Control In Burtonsville, MD

Ticks are parasitic pests that feed on the blood of their hosts. They are a dangerous pest to have on your property because they carry and transmit a variety of dangerous and debilitating diseases. The black legged (deer) tick is responsible for spreading the very serious disease called Lyme. Lyme disease has become a concern for people in Burtonsville and across the country as well. In general, where wildlife is present, ticks are also and controlling them is difficult without help from a professional. If ticks are being found on your pets or anyone at your property after they have spent time outside, then the best solution is to have your yard treated.

American Pest’s board certified entomologists have created an effective program to control tick problems on Burtonsville properties. Our tick control program works to safely treat your lawn. This program begins with an inspection of your property to determine where ticks may be hiding and breeding and once a month treatments for a period of 6-7 months.

Here are some other things that you can do to help prevent tick problems:

• Make sure that any pets living in your home and that spend time outside are treated under the guidance of their veterinarian with a tick preventative.

• Under the recommendation of your family doctor, use a tick spray with DEET or Permethrin to help repel and kill ticks.

• Keep your lawn trimmed short and remove piles of leaves and other debris.

Mosquito Control

Mosquitoes start to emerge and become a nuisance in Maryland around March and will stay thru October. Female mosquitoes feed on the blood of animals and people in order to get the proteins they need to create their eggs. These bites leave behind annoying, raised, red and itchy welts. Mosquitoes have been in recent headlines for causing Zika outbreaks in other parts of the world. In our area mosquitoes are known for transmitting several diseases including the very serious West Nile virus.

While it may seem only bad news is associated with mosquitoes there is some good news, American Pest has developed a very effective mosquito control program to reduce their numbers around Burtonsville properties. Mosquito treatments are performed over a period of 6-7 months using a three-step treatment process.

• Step one- A thorough inspection of your property is completed by one of American Pest’s professionals to identify mosquito living and breeding sites.

• Step two- Treatment using a specialized misting system applied to foliage areas around your property, with special attention being paid to areas that retain moisture (bushes, shrubs, under decks, etc.).

• Step three- Limit mosquito breeding areas by treating those areas with a biological mosquito larvicide. This stops the larvae from developing into the biting and disease transmitting adults.
