Ticks + Mosquitos Control
Protect Your Family and pets
At Alfieri Tree Care, we recognize that ticks and mosquitos are not just a nuisance but also a health hazard to families and pets. These pests can make enjoying your outdoor spaces uncomfortable and potentially unsafe due to the diseases they can carry. Our comprehensive ticks and mosquitos control services are meticulously designed to reduce their populations in your landscape, allowing you to reclaim the joy and comfort of your outdoor living areas.
The Threat Posed by Ticks and Mosquitos
Ticks and mosquitos are infamous for their ability to transmit diseases. Lyme disease, West Nile virus, and other tick- and mosquito-borne illnesses pose significant health risks. Beyond health concerns, their presence can deter you from fully enjoying your garden, yard, or patio. Effective control and management are essential to protect your well-being and enhance the quality of your outdoor experience.

Why Trust Alfieri Tree Care for Ticks and Mosquitos Control?
If I have an Mosquito or Tick infestation, what are some tips for keeping them from biting?
Mosquitoes and ticks are not only nuisances but also vectors for serious diseases. At Alfieri Tree Care, we understand the importance of minimizing your exposure to these pests while enjoying your outdoor spaces. Here are effective strategies to reduce the risk of mosquito and tick bites:
For Mosquitoes
- Eliminate Standing Water: Mosquitoes breed in standing water. Regularly empty water from flowerpots, gutters, buckets, pool covers, and any other containers that hold water.
- Use Mosquito Repellents: Apply insect repellent that contains DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus on exposed skin and clothing, following the product instructions carefully.
- Wear Protective Clothing: When possible, wear long sleeves, long pants, and socks, especially during peak mosquito activity at dawn and dusk.
- Install Screens: Ensure windows and doors have tight-fitting screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home.
- Use Mosquito Nets: Sleeping under mosquito nets can provide protection, especially in areas with a high mosquito population.
For Ticks
- Treat Clothing and Gear: Use products containing 0.5% permethrin to treat clothing, boots, camping gear, and other equipment. Permethrin-treated clothing is effective against ticks.
- Stay on Trails: Avoid walking through dense woods, brush, and tall grass where ticks are more prevalent. Stick to the center of trails when hiking.
- Perform Regular Tick Checks: After spending time outdoors, check your body, children, and pets for ticks. Pay special attention to underarms, in and around ears, inside the belly button, behind knees, around the waist, and on the scalp.
- Create a Tick-Safe Zone: Modify your landscape to reduce tick habitats. Keep lawns mowed, remove leaf litter, and create a barrier of wood chips or gravel between wooded areas and your lawn.
- Use Tick Repellents: Apply tick repellent containing DEET or picaridin on exposed skin. Always follow the product’s instructions for safe application.
Implementing these strategies can significantly reduce your exposure to mosquitoes and ticks, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor activities with peace of mind. Remember, consistent and combined efforts are the most effective way to minimize the risk of bites and the diseases they can transmit.
