U.P. Pest Control

Over the past two weeks, I have come across numerous posts related to this issue. The U.P. typically experiences problems with ticks, but this year is anticipated to be exceptionally challenging. I am confident in my ability to provide assistance and would welcome the opportunity to do so. Please feel free to contact me for a quote.

Just a quick FYI to all my amazing customers. Waiting for the leaves to come out to spray for mosquitos is typically best practice. The product works much better if it has something to stick to. Have a phenomenal day guys!

This seems to be the new norm year after year.

ER visits for tick bites in Pennsylvania are at a 10-year high. Experts say that ticks are appearing earlier due to weather changes. And the Tick Research Lab (which provides free tick testing to Pa residents who have been bitten) has already tested 55% more ticks than last year.

Hope everyone is having a great spring so far!

Well, everyone, spring has finally sprung. Yay! Mosquitoes this year will be nasty as always (no surprise), but ticks are reportedly going to be especially bad. I want everyone to be able to enjoy their yards and keep their children and animals safe from ticks. Feel free to give me a call, and I can put you on my spray schedule. It's a bit early yet, but getting on my schedule early will assure that I'm able to get to you as quickly as possible.
