Mosquito and Tick Control

Protect Your Family and Pets From Pests

Your yard is a wonderful place for you and your family to spend some time, but it holds a few threats in the form of mosquitoes and ticks. Fortunately, Whitmore's Yard Care Inc offers safe and effective programs that control both of these pests - and through the same application!

Treating your outdoor area every three weeks between April and November can help protect your family from unwanted pests and diseases. Since ticks remain active as long as the temperature is above 32 degrees, it's important to stay vigilant throughout the year. In addition to ticks, our treatment also controls other biting pests such as horseflies, deer flies, and gnats, among others.

Although nothing can make your outdoors mosquito and tick-free, you'll spend a lot less time swatting the critters away, dealing with bites, and combing your pet's fur for ticks when you let us apply our professional treatments. The products that we use are 100% safe to use around kids and pets.

Mosquitoes and Ticks Carry a Bevy of Diseases

Although their bites are irritating enough, the real problem with mosquitoes and ticks are the diseases they carry and can pass on to you, your family, and your pets.

Mosquitoes

• Zika virus - serious birth defects, Guillain-Barre syndrome damage to nerves,
• West Nile virus - fever, diarrhea, joint pain, vomiting
• Chikungunya - high fever, joint pain, nausea, rash
• Encephalitis - severe headache, seizures, lethargy, disorientation

Ticks

• Lyme disease - fever, swollen joints, lethargy, and other symptoms that can last for years
• Rocky Mountain spotted fever - life-threatening illness resulting in rashes, loss of limbs, and paralysis
• Ehrlichiosis - fever, chills, headaches

Although some of these diseases are rare in the United States, the warming climate seems to indicate an increasing threat, so control is a good idea.
