Application Areas:
At Thomas Pest Services, we strategically treat the outskirts of your property line and focus on foliage, bushes, and shrubs rather than grassy areas to effectively control and prevent ticks and mosquitoes. These pests thrive in shaded, humid environments like tall grass, dense vegetation, and wooded areas—where they are most likely to breed and rest. By targeting these high-risk zones, our treatments provide long-lasting protection, reducing tick and mosquito populations before they reach your home and outdoor spaces.
Threats That Mosquitoes & Ticks Pose
Mosquitos and ticks can pose big threats to you, your family, and your pets. They are part of a group of insects known as vectors - bugs that bite and are capable of transmitting a disease to humans or other animals like pets and livestock.
Mosquito-Borne Illnesses
Unfortunately, mosquito bites make Upstate New York summer itchier than we would like! Besides being nuisance pests, mosquitoes can transmit viruses to people and some animals. While the risk of getting infected with a disease from a mosquito bite is small, you want to make sure you’re protected from common New York mosquito-borne diseases including Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) and West Nile virus (WNV).
Tick-Borne Illnesses
Tick bites can make outdoor time more uncomfortable and scarier than we'd prefer! Aside from being bothersome pests, ticks can transmit diseases to humans and animals. Although the likelihood of contracting a disease from a tick bite is low, it's important to protect yourself from common tick-borne illnesses prevalent in New York, such as Lyme disease and babesiosis.
