🦟 Did You Know?

Mosquitoes don't need a pond or swamp to reproduce. In fact, many mosquitoes can lay eggs in as little as a bottle cap's worth of standing water.

Common mosquito breeding sites around the home include:
✔️ Clogged gutters
✔️ Bird baths
✔️ Plant saucers
✔️ Children's toys
✔️ Tarps and covers that collect rainwater

With recent rainfall and warmer temperatures across New England, now is a great time to take a walk around your property and eliminate any standing water you find. 🦟🌿

A few minutes of prevention can help make your outdoor spaces more enjoyable all summer long.

Tick activity continues to rise across much of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic — and it’s something homeowners should stay aware of as we head deeper into outdoor season.

This map highlights reported Lyme disease cases over recent years, reinforcing what many professionals in our industry have been seeing firsthand: tick populations are increasing and expanding.

The good news? Awareness and prevention go a long way.
✔ Keep grass maintained
✔ Reduce leaf litter and overgrowth
✔ Check pets and clothing after being outdoors
✔ Consider professional tick control for high-pressure properties

You don’t need to live in the woods to encounter ticks anymore. Staying proactive helps families and pets enjoy their yards more comfortably all season long.
