Residential Mosquito & Tick Control In Athens, GA & Surrounding Communities

Finding mosquitoes in your home or yard is not a big surprise when you live in Athens, Georgia, or one of the many other cities in Georgia, North Carolina, or South Carolina. Our hot, humid climate is exactly the type of weather mosquitoes thrive in, and they can be a problem even in the cooler winter months. Ticks are another pest we see far too many of throughout the year. These pests become more prevalent in the spring, but they can be active at any point during the year as long as the temperature doesn’t dip too low.

The problem with mosquitoes and ticks is that they are more than just annoying bugs that leave you with itchy bites; they are dangerous pests that spread diseases. Mosquitoes are the deadliest animal in the world, and while some of the diseases they spread aren’t an issue in the United States, they can still spread illnesses, such as West Nile virus, in our area. Ticks are also known for the diseases they spread. Many carry Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other dangerous illnesses.

Mosquito and tick prevention is something that every Athens homeowner should consider. If you have a lot of these pests on your property, you’re likely already looking for a way to keep mosquitoes away and keep ticks off your lawn. Not only will your property be a more pleasant place to spend time without these pests, but it will also be a safer place for your family to enjoy.

Tick and mosquito control in Athens, GA, and beyond is available from American Pest Control. This year-round service is available on a monthly basis to ensure your property stays as free as possible from these dangerous and disruptive pests. Our treatment procedure begins with a licensed pest control technician inspecting your property each month to locate breeding sites. The technician will eliminate or treat the identified breeding sites with a larvicide. This eliminates mosquito larvae in water where they breed.

Our technician will then treat resting areas to help suspend further breeding and eliminate as many adults as possible. Resting areas usually include tree lines, bushes, shrubs, and tall grass. These are also the places where ticks tend to congregate. By treating these areas, we can drastically reduce the number of mosquitoes and ticks on your property.

With regular monthly mosquito and tick treatments, you won’t have to worry about letting your kids play outside or allowing your pets to wander around the treeline of your yard. Your property will receive the ongoing services it needs, delivered by highly-trained and experienced technicians to protect it from mosquitoes and ticks.

One of the many benefits of living in Georgia, South Carolina, or North Carolina is that many days throughout the year provide the wonderful weather needed to enjoy spending time outdoors. However, nothing sends you back indoors faster than a bunch of mosquitoes intent on finding a meal. If you have an out of control mosquito problem on your property and the ticks to go along with them, don’t spend another day hiding inside your house, wishing you could spend time outside without being bothered by annoying and dangerous pests.
