Ticks can be scary. To reduce the risk of getting them on your property, you should contact the tick control experts at Mosquito Squad (Boston Metro South, MA), but there are things you can do to help prolong the results of your treatment:

✅ CLEAR OUT areas where lawn and tree debris gathers. Ticks thrive in moist, shady areas and tend to die in sunny, dry areas. Don't position playground equipment, decks, or patios near treed areas.

✅ CLEAN leaf litter around the house and lawn edges. We also recommend mowing tall grass to keep your lawn short.

✅ CHOOSE PLANTS and shrubs that don’t attract deer, which can bring ticks into your yard.

✅ CHECK HIDING PLACES like fences, brick walls, and patio retaining walls where ticks commonly hang out.

✅ CARE FOR FAMILY PETS that can suffer from tick-borne disease and can also carry infected ticks into your home. Talk to your veterinarian about using tick collars and sprays.

✅ CALL THE PROS for tick control!

Before letting eggs hatch or taking them off your foliage, try to identify whether the eggs belong to friends or foes. Here's how:

This blog explains what three beneficial insect eggs look like (butterflies, ladybugs, and lacewings) and what pest eggs generally look like.
