Mosquito and tick control service

At Ehrlich, we care about your health and safety, which is why we have our mosquito and tick control service. Both mosquitoes and ticks can transmit pathogens that cause dangerous diseases leading to serious health problems for humans and animals. Our mosquito and tick control service offers your family and pets effective protection. With this service, you, your family, and your pets will be protected from these biting pests so you can enjoy your outdoor space all summer long.

Control mosquitoes and ticks: the Ehrlich way

For our mosquito and tick control service, an Ehrlich representative will discuss your initial pest concerns and any past pest issues with you and create a customized treatment plan for your property. Your technician will conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify breeding grounds, resting areas, and high-traffic zones. 

Once the inspection is complete, your technician will explain the recommended treatment plan and answer any questions. A barrier treatment using EPA-registered products will be applied to accessible areas where mosquitoes and ticks rest and breed, including:

  • Perimeter vegetation
  • Weeds, tall grasses, shrubs
  • Lowermost tree limbs (no more than 10 feet high)
  • Ground cover such as ivy, grasses in cool, damp, or shady areas, and other ornamental plants
  • Mulch and landscape beds next to your home
  • Transition zones where the lawn borders a wooded area
  • Areas of leaf litter and overgrown vegetation
  • Accessible areas beneath decks and porches
  • Any standing water, such as fountains and birdbaths

Your Ehrlich technician will also offer recommendations to help eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites and reduce tick habitat areas in your yard. If you're curious about the mosquito control service cost, our team can provide a detailed breakdown tailored to your property and treatment needs.

Frequently asked questions

Mosquitoes and ticks emerge when the weather gets warmer. However, for season-long protection against them, we recommend our monthly treatment. The number of months that service is conducted will vary based on your location. Contact the experts at Ehrlich to learn more.

Yes! The parasite that causes heartworm in dogs is spread through mosquito bites, and pets can also contract Lyme disease from ticks. Our mosquito and tick control service will control these biting pests in your yard, helping you to worry less about your furry friends being bitten.

That said, we still recommend treating your pets as necessary to prevent these diseases, per your vet’s recommendations. Your pets can still contract these diseases.

Your technician will treat your yard, focusing on where mosquitoes and ticks reside, ensuring that objects such as children’s toys, pet food bowls, and lawn furniture are moved out of the treatment area. Your technician will also avoid applications to herb/vegetable gardens and food preparation equipment areas (grills, bars, etc.).

Mosquitoes prefer warm weather and come out during the spring months. Most species of mosquitoes are active at dusk while other species are active during the day. Adults are most active during the summer and will taper off in the fall. They become inactive after the first freeze and when temperatures are below 50 degrees.

Like mosquitoes, ticks are more common in the warmer months, but ticks can still present in the cooler months. Ticks are active as long as the temperature is above 40 degrees. They particularly like to hide in leaf litter to prevent themselves from drying out, so carefully clean up your leaves in the fall.

When choosing a personal repellent, look for products registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and containing active ingredients like DEET, Picaridin, or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE) for effective and long-lasting protection. Always follow the directions on the label when using repellent products. Remember that no repellent is 100% effective, so combining repellent use with preventative measures is crucial. Wearing long sleeves and pants, especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active, can reduce your risk of bites.
