Mosquito, Flea & Tick Control in Waxhaw, NC

Mosquitoes Don't Spend All Day Flying Around

Homeowners often think only about where mosquitoes bite them.

But during portions of the day, adult mosquitoes may rest in protected areas around the landscape.

Dense vegetation, shrubs, shaded locations and humid areas can provide favorable resting conditions. That's why the surrounding landscape matters.

A mosquito-control strategy can consider areas such as:

• Shrubs
• Landscape Beds
• Shaded Vegetation
• Property Edges
• Protected Outdoor Areas

Earth Hog understands landscaping as well as pest control, allowing us to look at the environment surrounding the problem.

Standing Water & Mosquito Control

If your property repeatedly develops standing water after rain, mosquito treatment may only address part of the issue.

Water that remains in the landscape can indicate a larger drainage problem.

Earth Hog also provides professional Drainage Solutions for:

• Standing Water
• Soggy Lawns
• Runoff
• Erosion
• Landscape Drainage Problems

If recurring water accumulation is contributing to conditions around your property, we can look at both problems rather than pretending pest treatment will fix the drainage.

Outdoor Flea Control

Fleas are commonly associated with pets, but their life cycle isn't limited to the animal.

Outdoor environments can contribute to flea populations, particularly around areas where pets, wildlife or other animals spend time. Earth Hog provides professional outdoor flea control in Waxhaw, NC as part of our combined mosquito, flea and tick service.

Potential problem areas can include:

• Shaded Areas
• Pet Activity Areas
• Landscape Areas
• Protected Areas Around the Property
• Locations Frequented by Wildlife

Outdoor treatment can be one part of dealing with a flea problem when activity extends beyond the home.

Professional Tick Control

Ticks are especially concerning for families who spend significant time outdoors.

Children play in the grass. Dogs explore shrubs and property edges. Homeowners garden and work around landscaping.

Those activities can bring people and pets into areas where ticks may be present.

Earth Hog provides professional tick control in Waxhaw, NC designed to reduce tick activity around residential outdoor areas. Treatment can focus on portions of the property where tick habitat is more likely to occur rather than assuming every part of the yard presents the same risk.

Where Are Ticks Commonly Found?

Ticks are often associated with protected areas where they can encounter animals or people moving through the landscape.

Potential habitat can include:

• Tall vegetation
• Brush
• Leaf litter
• Wooded property edges
• Shaded areas
• Overgrown portions of the yard
• Areas frequently traveled by wildlife

Property maintenance can therefore be an important complement to tick control. Reducing unnecessary brush, accumulated leaves and heavy overgrowth may help make portions of the property less favorable for ticks.

Mosquito, Flea & Tick Control for Homes With Pets

For many homeowners, pets are one of the biggest reasons they become concerned about fleas and ticks.

Dogs don't politely stay in the middle of the lawn. They investigate bushes. They walk along property edges. They roll in the grass. They explore. That's exactly what dogs are supposed to do.

Outdoor pest control can help reduce flea and tick pressure around the environments where pets spend time.

Before service, let Earth Hog know about:

• Dogs
• Cats
• Children's Play Areas
• Gardens
• Outdoor Living Areas
• Other Property Considerations

We'll provide appropriate instructions regarding the treatment and when people and pets can return to treated areas.
