🌿 Ticks are common in many parts of the U.S. and can be found in the same outdoor spaces we love to enjoy. They can attach quietly and spread diseases through their bites, including Lyme disease.

Taking a few simple precautions, like checking for ticks after spending time outdoors and keeping up with yard maintenance, can help protect your family and pets.

A little extra care goes a long way in helping you enjoy your backyard! 🏡

Fall is here, but tick season may not be over yet! 🐶

As temperatures cool, ticks can remain active and may find their way onto your furry friends as they explore, play, and enjoy the yard.

In our Georgia climate, stinging insects can still be active, even as the seasons begin to change.

Keeping an eye on areas where you may notice activity, such as nearby tree branches, under eaves, patios, decks or other outdoor spaces around your home, can help you spot potential nests and stay aware of what’s happening around your property.

If you notice hornets coming and going from the same area, give them plenty of space and avoid disturbing a potential nest.

At MissQuito, we’re here to help you stay in the know about what’s buzzing, biting and stinging around your home throughout the seasons. Because knowing what to look for can help you spend less time worrying about what’s out there and more time enjoying your outdoor space.

The Georgia Department of Agriculture’s Plant Protection team remains on the job working to eradicate the invasive pests.

Mosquitoes are still active! A few simple habits around your yard can help reduce the places where they like to breed and rest:

1️⃣ Remove standing water – empty buckets and plant saucers, and keep gutters clear.
2️⃣ Maintain your landscape – keep grass trimmed and clear away excess yard debris.
3️⃣ Use natural repellents – plant mosquito-repelling herbs like lavender, citronella, and basil.

Small steps now can make a big difference later, helping you enjoy your outdoor space all season long!
