Mosquito & Tick Services in Short Pump, VA

Both ticks and mosquitoes are parasitic pests that feed on the blood of people and animals. They can also carry and transmit a variety of very serious bacteria and diseases. The best way to protect your family from these dangerous pests is to put in place a control plan before they have a chance to build their numbers.

Triggered by the warmer rainy weather of early spring, ticks and mosquitoes become active in March, increasing their numbers throughout the summer until late October when the weather cools off for the fall and winter months. To combat both mosquitoes and ticks, our professionals will treat your Short Pump property a total of 6-7 times during the active season of March through October. Treatment includes an inspection of your Short Pump property, treatment using a specialized misting system, and the use of biological mosquito larvicide to help limit mosquito breeding areas on your property.
