Our Effective Mosquito Control Program
At Ransford Pest Control, we understand how challenging it can be to enjoy your yard during the peak mosquito season, from April through October. With 51 mosquito species active in Central Massachusetts, it's crucial to take proactive steps to protect your family and pets. Our mosquito control program offers effective solutions to tackle these pests head-on, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
Our program features two treatment options:
- Traditional Treatment: A liquid misting treatment that targets common mosquito hangouts such as tree lines, areas that retain moisture, and shaded spots. This treatment works by allowing mosquitoes to pick up the product, contaminating nearby breeding and egg-laying sites as they travel. As new mosquitoes emerge, they are eliminated, breaking the mosquito lifecycle.
- Organic Treatment: For those looking for a more environmentally friendly option, we offer organic products that are just as effective at reducing mosquito populations, without the use of chemicals.
Flexible Treatment Options
While we don't require contracts, continuing treatments beyond the first helps ensure long-lasting protection and a mosquito-free yard throughout the season. We recommend a minimum of four treatments, spaced four weeks apart for the regular treatment or three weeks apart for the organic option.
Our non-contract approach gives you flexibility while delivering the results you need, and we’ll always advise on the best plan to ensure your yard stays mosquito-free. Trust Ransford Pest Control to provide a comprehensive, reliable solution tailored to your needs, and enjoy your outdoor space without the nuisance of mosquitoes.
Invest In Annual Tick Protection
At Ransford Pest Control, we understand the risks that ticks pose, particularly in Central Massachusetts, where deer ticks and dog ticks are common, and activity is prevalent whenever there is no snow on the ground. Our tick control program is designed to effectively reduce the tick population around your property, helping to protect your family and pets from tick-borne illnesses.
Our tick control program includes the following:
- Granular Treatment: This treatment is applied once per year, usually in the spring. The effectiveness of the granular treatment depends on weather conditions, particularly rainfall, which can impact its longevity. This treatment targets areas where ticks are likely to be, reducing their population in key hotspots.
- Optional Autumn Liquid Treatment: For some customers, we offer an additional liquid treatment in the autumn, which provides extra protection before winter. This treatment can be paired with our mosquito misting treatment, which also helps to control ticks during the fall months.
While our granular treatment is applied once annually, combining it with our seasonal mosquito treatments provides comprehensive year-round protection against biting insects. Trust Ransford Pest Control to safeguard your yard and loved ones with a reliable mosquito and tick control solution tailored to your needs.
Do Ticks Live in Wood Piles?
Yes, some ticks do live in wood piles. Ticks love areas such as decomposing leaves, or piles of wood where rodents are also often found. If you want to keep ticks away from your yard, limit the number of dark areas subject to moisture.
How Do We Control Ticks?
Tick control is a multipoint process at Ransford. Here are some of the steps:
- To treat the larvae and the nymphs in the Spring, Ransford will use a granular product applied over the leaf litter and around your home.
- Once wet the granules will soak into the leaf litter killing any ticks it comes in contact with.
Ransford has both green products and regular insecticides for use on ticks and would be happy to discuss both products.
How to Keep Ticks Out of Your Yard
Even if you don’t think your yard can play host to ticks, you’re better off being safe than sorry. Here are a few tips that can help.
- Keep the lawn mowed and clear away leaves – The shorter your grass is, the less likely it is that you will have a tick problem. Keeping the grass short and eliminating yard waste or leaf piles means you won’t have to deal with tick problems.
- Gravel path – If you have a path on your property, don’t hesitate to put down gravel. The ticks are less likely to cross it, keeping your yard tick free.
- Be careful with your wood pile – If your wood pile is a mess, you’re creating an invitation for ticks. Neatly stack your wood, and make certain the spot where you keep it gets sun on a regular basis.
Don’t let ticks prevent you from enjoying your yard. If you do notice an up-’tick’ on your property, contact Ransford immediately.
