With the beauty of Wisconsin summer comes the unfortunate reality of summer pests such as mosquitos and ticks. Our great state boasts many miles of gorgeous landscape, and Wisconsin homeowners work hard to capture that beauty in their own backyard with beautiful landscaping, trees and shrubs, and lush foliage. No one wants to be forced inside by an infestation of annoying and potentially health-damaging insects. That’s why Central Services is proud to offer effective and safe Mosquito and Tick Control in the Milwaukee and Waukesha areas.
In order to have an outdoor living environment that is relatively free of mosquitos and ticks, there are many things you can do to inhibit their ability to thrive and multiply, as well as countless products designed to be a shortcut to effective pest control. At Central Services, we believe the best summer pest control results from adhering to the following prevention techniques to reduce the likelihood of infestation, combined with our Mosquito and Tick Control Services, which will eliminate the pests that make it past your control efforts. Read on to learn more about preventative protection from annoying summer pests.
When it comes to mosquitoes, the most important thing you can do is to eliminate their preferred breeding grounds. Keep your gutters clean, and eliminate standing water from birdbaths, playground equipment, wheelbarrows, and swimming pool covers. Clear away ivy and decaying leaves as well, which will give the mosquitoes far less opportunity to lay eggs and hatch a new bunch of pests.
Also, if you’re still using traditional incandescent outdoor light bulbs, your pest control efforts may be a good excuse to upgrade to either LED bulbs or yellow-tinted bulbs. These types of bulbs are much less attractive to mosquitoes, and highly effective at keeping them at bay during the evening and nighttime hours.
Ticks love tall grass and lots of shade, so keep your lawn mowed, remove leaves and other debris, and try to let as much sun into your yard as possible. Consider building a fence around your property to keep out deer and other large animals that can carry ticks. And don’t forget to check your pets for ticks after they have been romping outside.
If you exercise these tips and techniques for pest prevention, you’re sure to have considerably less of a problem with pests in your yard. However, even these techniques are no match for Mother Nature, and the prevalence of these pests in our state. Once you’ve eliminated or greatly reduced the pests’ opportunities to nest in your yard, finish the job with Central Service’s Mosquito and Tick Control Service. Our safe and effective methods virtually eliminate the remaining pests from your yard and give you a comfortable and pest-free outdoor living environment for approximately 4 weeks.
