Mosquito and Tick Control:
Why It’s Essential for Northern Minnesota

Mosquitoes in Minnesota can carry serious diseases such as West Nile Virus, which can lead to flu-like symptoms, and the Zika Virus, which poses risks for pregnant women. Ticks, on the other hand, are known carriers of Lyme disease, a potentially debilitating condition that can cause long-term health issues if untreated.

A professional mosquito and tick control program from Turf Care Inc. helps to prevent these pests from breeding and thriving in your yard, reducing the chances of disease transmission. By keeping mosquitoes and ticks under control, you’re helping protect your loved ones from these dangerous health threats.

In the beautiful summers of Northern Minnesota, you want to enjoy the outdoors to the fullest—whether it’s hosting family BBQs, lounging by the lake, or enjoying a night under the stars. But mosquitoes can quickly turn a pleasant evening into a frustrating experience with their constant buzzing and itchy bites. Ticks, although less noticeable, are equally problematic as they can latch onto clothing and skin, leading to concerns about Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.

A mosquito and tick control program can help ensure that you and your family can enjoy your yard without being constantly swarmed by these pests.

Just like humans, pets are at risk from ticks, especially in areas with high populations of ticks, like many parts of Northern Minnesota. Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis can affect your pets, leading to symptoms ranging from fever to severe joint pain or even long-term health problems if left untreated. A mosquito and tick program will help protect your furry friends from these threats, ensuring they can safely enjoy the outdoors without picking up ticks or suffering from bites.

Similarly, mosquitoes can transmit heartworm disease to dogs, which can lead to severe health issues if untreated. By eliminating mosquitoes and ticks from your yard, you’re providing better protection for your pets, reducing the risk of diseases that could harm them.

Turf Care Inc.’s five-application mosquito and tick control program ensures continuous coverage from spring through summer, with reapplications every 21 days. This consistent approach targets mosquito breeding areas and eliminates ticks from the environment, keeping your yard protected throughout the season. By starting early in the spring, we get a head start on preventing these pests from becoming a problem later in the summer when their populations are at their peak.

Custom Tailored: The ongoing treatments are designed to cover the entire area of your property, focusing on where these pests breed and hide. This means you’re not just spraying the surface but actively addressing mosquito and tick hotspots, providing comprehensive protection.

If you have an outdoor event planned, such as a wedding, family reunion, or corporate gathering, a one-time mosquito and tick control application can ensure your guests are protected from these pests. This treatment eliminates the need for people to worry about bug repellent or avoiding certain areas. You can focus on hosting your event without the constant threat of buzzing mosquitoes or ticks spoiling the atmosphere.

A key advantage of a mosquito and tick control program is that it not only tackles the existing problem but helps prevent future infestations. By regularly treating your yard, we disrupt the breeding cycles of mosquitoes and ticks, reducing the likelihood of large infestations in the future. Early treatment is essential in keeping pest numbers low and protecting your outdoor space year after year.
