Among the most tenacious of pests, mosquitoes can be more than a simple backyard nuisance. Even here in Ayer, Massachusetts, many mosquitoes are carrying viruses that can be harmful–even deadly–to human health. You don’t have to let mosquitoes ruin your summer and enjoyment of your yard though. By relying on our mosquito control solutions, you can reduce the risk of mosquitoes on your Ayer property. Timely treatment and a few tried-and-true mosquito control methods will help you prevent mosquito infestations and create a more comfortable outdoor setting for your family, friends, and pets.

Mosquito Control

Spraying in MA is a common mosquito control solution, but remember that you can also perform some simple tasks to reduce numbers of these pests too. 

Remove standing water

Don’t let water sit in bird baths or plant containers outside for more than a week. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. By dumping the water, you can prevent new mosquitoes from hatching. Set up an alert on your phone reminding you to change bird bath water and to get rid of other standing water in your landscape.

Mow Grass

Mosquitoes and other pests can take up shelter in long grass and weeds. You can make your landscape less hospitable to these pests by maintaining your landscape with routine mowing and weed control measures. Contact our business to request a quote for our yard maintenance services.

Plant Mosquito-Repellent Plants

Plants like marigolds, lemon grass, rosemary, mint, catmint, and lavender naturally repel mosquitoes. The pests dislike their scent. To keep mosquitoes away from your home entrances, add some containers of these plants. 

Mosquito Barrier Spraying

Mosquito control barrier spraying is one of the best ways to control mosquitoes from your Ayer, MA, property. Spray treatment usually lasts for between four and six weeks. Spray treatment will allow you to more comfortably enjoy your yard. The cost of treatment depends on the size of your property. You can contact our pest control business for an estimate.

Diseases & Dangers of Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes can deliver an itchy bite that is unpleasant, but that’s not all. Mosquitoes can also carry and transmit potentially deadly viruses even here in Ayer, MA. Mosquitoes are known to carry West Nile disease and Zika virus. The Massachusetts Department of Health has warned individuals who face certain elevated health risks to be especially careful about staying outdoors during dusk when mosquito activity during the summer is at its height. While your town might spray for mosquitoes, if you have a wooded backyard or simply want to take additional precautions, be sure to contact us to apply spray treatment for these pests.
