Our Services For Destroying Mosquitoes & Ticks
Attempting to rid your home of the tick infestation can be difficult and frustrating, as eggs can hatch months later, long after you think you have the situation under control. As for Mosquitoes, these pests swarm at outdoor events and breed prolifically in stagnant water – from bird baths to discarded tires – even puddles from the latest rainfall. Certain land features, such as swamps, reservoirs, and retention ponds are virtual breeding grounds for mosquitoes. And, all it takes is one tenacious pest to infiltrate your home and make everyone inside miserable.
Fortunately, our specialists at General Environmental Services, Inc. are highly experienced at removing both of these kinds of pests. We can use strong mosquito insecticide to kill larva and eggs, utilizing chemicals that are far more effective than weak over-the-counter options. We can also drain ponds, swimming pools, birdbaths, or any other damp environments harboring mosquitoes. We can also clear tall grass and thickets where ticks like to hide, and use environment-friendly pesticides to kill ticks as well.


Our Proactive Process Against These Pests
Considering the health risks associated with ticks and mosquitoes, it's crucial to have an effective elimination strategy in place. DIY measures often aren’t enough, making expert help essential to enjoying a pest-free yard. At General Environmental Services, our approach to mosquito and tick control is multi-pronged and meticulous:
Understand the problem: New England is home to a variety of mosquito species, each with its unique behavior and breeding grounds. Ticks, on the other hand, while fewer in species, are more resilient and active throughout the year, especially during those humid summer months. Our team invests time in understanding the specifics of these pests, ensuring we counteract them effectively.
Target breeding grounds: Whether it's that unnoticed puddle behind your garage or an ornamental fountain in your garden, stagnant water acts as a magnet for mosquito breeding. We meticulously scout and treat these potential breeding zones, disrupting the mosquito lifecycle.
Tackle tick habitats: Ticks are crafty. They prefer tall grasses, wooded areas, and leaf litter. Our strategy is twofold: educate you about maintaining your landscape and provide hands-on assistance in clearing tick-prone zones.
Effective treatment: While many resort to over-the-counter treatments, we recognize the limitations of such methods. Our arsenal includes industry-grade mosquito treatments that eradicate both larvae and eggs. For ticks, our environmentally conscious approach incorporates products that are potent against ticks but gentle on Mother Earth.
Regular monitoring: Our commitment doesn't end after a single treatment. Pests are persistent, and so are we. Our team revisits treated areas, ensuring that the solutions we've implemented are still effective.
At the core of our service is a simple belief: your yard should be a safe haven for family memories, not a playground for pests. Your home's outdoor space, be it a lawn, patio, or garden, should be a place of relaxation, play, and gatherings. With ticks and mosquitoes posing genuine threats, proactive measures are more than just a convenience; they're a necessity.
At General Environmental Services, we're dedicated to ensuring Boston residents can enjoy their yards without the intrusion of pests. Our commitment is clear: a pest-free yard for a safer, more enjoyable family time. Let us help make your outdoor spaces truly livable and free from unwanted guests with our tick and mosquito control services.
