Why are ticks dangerous?

According to the CDC,ticks can carry harmful diseases such as Lyme disease,Rocky Mountain spotted fever and more. When an infected tick bites and latches onto you or your pet,they can transmit the disease. Terminix tick control begins working immediately to target ticks and keep tick populations down.

How do you repel ticks?

Natural tick repellents have not been scientifically proven to be effective. Products that contain DEET tend to serve as the best tick repellents,according to the CDC. And when it comes to protecting your pets from ticks,you should consult your vet. To remove ticks from your yard,the Terminix Tick Defend System begins working immediately to keep tick populations down.

Can you DIY tick control?

Ticks can be hard to control. It’s important to take preventative measures when you’re outside in potential tick-infested areas,and consult your vet about tick prevention for your pets. But when it comes to treating your yard,Terminix professionals are trained to spot tick habitats and properly use the top products available in the industry to keep the tick population down in your yard.

Mosquito & Tick Treatment

Mosquitoes and ticks both feed on humans and pose the risk of transmitting disease when they bite. See how our combined mosquito and tick control works.

Mosquitoes and ticks are more than just a nuisance—they can pose serious health risks to you, your family, and your pets. Mosquitoes can transmit diseases like West Nile virus and Zika virus, while ticks are known carriers of Lyme disease and other harmful infections. These pests thrive in outdoor spaces, which can make it difficult to enjoy your yard and other outdoor areas.

With Terminix, you can take control of your outdoor space by bundling mosquito and tick control for comprehensive protection. Our proven solutions help target both pests, reducing adult, larvae, and nymph populations. Don't let mosquitoes and ticks take over—protect your home and family with professional treatment from Terminix.

I seldom recommend anything to friends, family, or neighbours, however, my neighbor did ask who and what I used for pest control and who and what they were spraying for this past week. I told her Terminix for both and so far I was happy. This is my first experience with Terminix and it has only been a few months. My ant situation is under control in the house. The mosquito situation is definitely improved and with this last spraying I think it will be gone. Both technician are great! I can't talk about "Good Value" since I have only used Terminix for these issues.

The mosquito tech was friendly, professional, and responsive. He took the time to listen to our concerns and was able to respond with a solution. Took his time and completed his duties diligently! Prices are a bit high but the product works. Would recommend it. Please be aware not all techs are friendly.

First time using Terminix was great! The service was a thorough treatment for all regular insects such as ants, wasps, spiders, earwigs and centipedes. I opted for the additional mosquito spray applied every 21 days. While a bit expensive at $89 per spray visit, it does appear to significantly cut down the mosquito activity in my yard which makes it worth the cost as we spend evenings outside during the summer. I would recommend Terminix based on this initial service.

Frequently asked tick and mosquito control questions

What keeps ticks and mosquitoes away?

Ticks and mosquitoes can be deterred with a combination of environmental management and personal protection.

Eliminate standing water in birdbaths, clogged gutters, or unused containers to help reduce mosquito breeding grounds.
Maintain your yard by mowing the grass, clearing leaf litter, and trimming shrubbery to reduce potential tick and mosquito habitats.
Apply insect repellents that contain ingredients like DEET.
Wear protective clothing outdoors, such as long sleeves and pants, to make it more difficult for these pests to reach your skin.

While these methods can help, professional mosquito and tick control services offer the most comprehensive and long-lasting protection.

What smells do ticks and mosquitoes hate?

Scents like citronella, lavender, eucalyptus, lemon, lemongrass, peppermint, and tea tree oil are believed to help repel ticks and mosquitoes. While these natural repellents can offer some temporary protection, professional pest control provides more effective, long-lasting results.

What time are ticks and mosquitoes active?

Ticks are most active during warmer months, especially from spring to fall, and are most active in the early morning and evening when temperatures are cooler. Mosquitoes are typically most active at dawn and dusk, although certain species may bite throughout the day. Warmer, humid conditions increase their activity.
