What it is

Mosquitoes breed in standing water, and it only takes a bottle cap of water. Even a well-kept yard can pick them up from nearby properties, wooded areas and water you cannot control. Our treatments target breeding areas, resting sites in your landscaping and active mosquitoes.

Ticks thrive in warm, humid Southern Illinois weather, in tall grass, wooded areas, leaf piles and around fences and property edges. They can carry Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and other illnesses, so we focus on long-term tick prevention, not temporary results. Our tick and flea treatments help keep your family and pets comfortable.

Questions

How little water can mosquitoes breed in?

Mosquitoes can reproduce in as little as a bottle cap of water. Dumping out standing water at least once a week makes a real difference.

Where do ticks live in my yard?

Tall grass, wooded areas, leaf piles, overgrown landscaping, around fences and property edges, and the places where pets spend time outdoors.

What can I do to reduce ticks?

Keep the grass short, remove leaf piles and yard debris, trim overgrown landscaping, reduce moisture and keep pets protected with veterinarian-approved products. Combined with professional treatment, that gives the best long-term protection.

What can I do to reduce mosquitoes?

Eliminate standing water, keep grass and landscaping trimmed, clean out gutters in early spring and check under decks and porches for damp spots.
