Mosquito Control with Barrier Treatment

Ticks are predatory pests that can carry hazardous diseases that could affect you, your family, or your pets. Many of the diseases they carry can be serious, like Lyme disease, which infects over 200,000 people a year. Luckily, our professionals offer superior mosquito, pest, and tick control services for homes in Philadelphia, PA. Give our technicians a call at (610) 890-5073 to receive support with ticks and pests on your property.

Tick Control Services

Ticks reproduce incredibly quickly, with each tick laying anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 eggs each time they breed. This is why the knowledgeable specialists at Ned Stevens are dedicated to providing high-quality tick control services to protect your home. The team at our tick control company uses a barrier treatment that utilizes granules around your property to kill and prevent future tick infestations.

What Do Ticks Look Like?

Groundhog Ticks
There are three types of ticks that are abundant in Philadelphia, PA and other areas. The groundhog tick has a body that is generally blonde, tan, or reddish brown and is about the size of a grain of rice.
American Dog Ticks
The American dog tick has a reddish-brown body with gray or silver markings, which makes it fairly easy to identify. They tend to be around five millimeters long on an empty stomach, but if they’ve been fed recently, they can grow three times that size.
Black-legged Ticks
The black-legged tick tends to have a flat, oval-shaped body that is either orange or brown, with legs that are darker in color. They are similar in size to the American dog tick.

Where Can I Find Ticks?

Ticks can be found anywhere that has vegetation to hide in, like wooded areas, fields, and meadows. They generally wait near paths that have a lot of foot traffic, because it’s the only way for them to find a host without the ability to fly or jump. Instead, they hold onto leaves near the path with their rear leg and use their front legs to latch on to the host. It’s easy for them to tell when a host is coming due to how sensitive they are to breath, moisture, vibration, and smells.
Ticks and Diseases
Ticks are infamous for carrying a myriad of diseases that they can transfer to you. To help keep you safe, our team of technicians offer comprehensive tick and pest control services in Philadelphia, PA and will help protect you from the diseases spread by ticks. There are a couple of diseases that are most commonly carried by the ticks in the region.

  • Nausea

Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is notoriously spread by a variety of ticks, and it is the most commonly spread disease by the black-legged ticks.

Its early symptoms include:

  • General achiness
  • Rash
  • Fever

  • Unusual fatigue
If left untreated, Lyme disease can worsen drastically and have life-long effects.

  • Seizures
  • Loss of physical coordination
  • Fever

Mosquito Control With Barrier Treatment

Mosquitoes are another pest that can be extremely dangerous to have around. In fact, mosquitoes are the most dangerous animal in the world. They lead to the most deaths each year because of the hazardous diseases that they carry and transmit.

To protect both your health and your property, we offer fully comprehensive mosquito control services for residents in Philadelphia, PA. Our treatments are consistent and targeted to help prevent infestations. This will successfully get rid of any current mosquitoes and prevent future issues.

Mosquito Habits
Mosquitos have adapted to almost every kind of aquatic environment, including:
  • Ponds
  • Temporary flood waters
  • Drainage ditches
  • Water contained in plants and trees
  • Marshes
The reproduction of mosquitoes depends on the area. For example, in warmer climates, they are able to breed continuously throughout the year. Some types of mosquitoes need a cold climate before their eggs will hatch, and in those cases, they only breed once per year.
