When you can’t spend time in your own backyard because of annoying mosquitoes and ticks, that bites.
You have burgers to grill. Your kids love their swing set. Your dog wants to roll around in the grass and growl (what’s up with that?) and chase his ball.
Backyard life shouldn’t be dangerous. But when disease-carrying mosquitoes and ticks crash the barbecue, it is.
What’s the best way to control ticks in your yard?
Is there fast and reliable mosquito control?
Can you be the bug-blasting hero who makes your yard a no-bite zone?
Let’s take a look.
Warning: this is a little creepy.
Ticks lurk on the tips of grasses and shrubs, waiting for a host to brush up against their spot. Then, they hop on board.
Small amounts of its saliva may enter the host, and that’s how it transmits diseases like Lyme Disease, the most common disease spread by ticks in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The average number of reported Lyme Disease cases has more than doubled here over the past 10 years.
Not in the middle of your yard. That would be too easy.
Ticks are sneakier than that, hanging out where your yard
borders a wooded area, or shady spots where there’s damp leaves and yard debris.
Mosquito bites can be more than just annoying and itchy. They can spread viruses that make you sick or, in rare cases, cause death.
Even without the threat of disease, mosquitos are a big pain. Their bites are itchy and annoying, sending you inside for cover when you just want to be outside, enjoying your beautiful summer evenings.
Mosquitos love the same shady, damp places in your yard that ticks do. All mosquitoes need water to breed and survive. Some mosquitoes lay eggs in water, while others lay eggs in moist soil.
Sunlight kills them, so they stay undercover until sunset.
Then, like whiny little vampires, they emerge into the dusk to feast. On you.
