While controlling mosquitoes may seem like an impossible task, there are several steps you can take around your property to help control their numbers in addition to acquiring professional control solutions.
One of the main things that attract mosquitoes to properties is standing water; this is because female mosquitoes lay their eggs on the surface of standing water. Wading pools, birdbaths, pet bowls, trash piles, tires, wheelbarrows, clogged drains, and low-lying areas can all collect water and draw in mosquitoes to a property. Mosquitoes also feed on the nectar of flowers so a property with a lot of plants, flowers, and other landscaping may also attract mosquitoes.
Mosquito prevention tips include:
According to the Ontario Lyme Disease Map report for 2021, Blacklegged ticks have now become established in many areas within, and around, Durham Region and can cause lyme disease. Lyme disease is a bacterial illness that affects people and animals. It is spread by the bite of an infected tick.
Ticks are insects belonging to the family Ixodidae. Ticks are parasitic pests that feed on the blood of other animals, such as dogs, cats, deer, raccoons, and mice. Ticks are often found in wooded areas, tall grass, and shrubs.
Unfortunately, tick bites often go unnoticed. Carefully check over your pet for ticks as frequently as possible, as this is really the only way to verify that you have a tick problem. Ticks cannot jump or fly. If you have a tick in your home it was brought in on either you or on your pet.
Ticks are very difficult to eliminate from a property. Any missed eggs can hatch months after you think you have the situation under control. It is recommended to call a pest control professional like Zolo should you encounter a tick infestation.
Ticks hate the smell of lemon, orange, cinnamon, lavender, peppermint, and rose geranium so they'll avoid latching on to anything that smells of those items. Any of these or a combination can be used in DIY sprays or added to almond oil and rubbed on exposed skin.
