As for ticks there are newer and more effective ways to treat them then ever before. Just last year it has been recorded that the lone star tick is in the North Shore areas of Massachusetts. With this information we had to change our treatment areas as their habits are different then that of  the deer tick also know as the black legged ticks or the american dog ticks that we have been treating for.

 

Lyme disease is just one of  several diseases that can be a life changer for humans. Borrelia miyamotoi, Babesiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Tularemia, Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis are a few other tick borne diseases  that are here in Massachusetts.

Mosquito Control On A Rainy Day In North Reading MA

Mosquito InformationJeff Emerson

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Rainy days can make for a miserable day for us humans, however the mosquitoes love it. The rain along with the warm summer days shortens the time needed for their eggs to become adults. Have you noticed standing water in your yard? If so you will need more then adult control products. Mosquito larvae requires additional professional products  for complete mosquito control.

 

Our mosquito barrier sprays are not any less effective on rainy days as we add a adjuvant to our spray mixture. This adjuvant allows the mist spray to spread out and bond securely to what is treated without rain washing it away or making it any less effective.

We do not mist spray on days that it is raining unless we have 15 minutes of drying time after we treat.

Thats right you read the title correctly there are cheap mosquito and tick control problem solving alternatives. Lets go over a few in detail before you hire a pest control professional to rid your yard of these vector insects. First you need to inspect your entire property for standing water. What your looking for is water that is hanging  around for four or more days.  This is just enough time for mosquitoes to go from egg to adult. Mosquitoes only need water and warm days and nights to go from egg to adult in as little as 4 days. Look at tarps covering items in your yard,flower pots, kids toys, used tires, gutters and down spouts. Please don’t forget the tubing to rid water away from your down spouts. Also some yards hold water in low lying areas or divets.  All of these areas need to be monitored on a weekly basis. If water can not be drained off a pest professional will have ways to treat them cheaply and effectively.

Ticks are in need of just soil temperatures to reach 45 degrees Fahrenheit to become active,once active they begin laying eggs. To reduce their populations in you yard. Make sure you rake up all leaves especially around your properties edges. Keep all brush picked up and discard off your property. Just these few steps will reduce your tick population. Ticks lay there eggs in the Spring thru early Summer and again in the Fall. Did you know all ticks only travel 3 meters from where there hatched during there entire life?

Mosquito Control Of Zika Virus in Boxford MA

Mosquito InformationJeff Emerson

Zika virus mosquito control is what Boxford MA 01921 and Topsfield MA 01983 are trying to achieve along with all of the North Shore .  It is a battle that can be controlled but not completely eliminated. Control starts with good  Intergrated Pest Management (IPM) at home. IPM starts at home with you practicing  water management and remove standing water in your yard. Just three drops of water can equal 400 mosquitoes every 4 days. As you see this is something you can start doing today. Look for standing water in loose fitting Tarps, flower pots, old tires, ditches or divets in your yard holding water, check your gutters and fix as needed. I’ve not visited a residence yet that did not have at least one or more of these problem areas.

 

In order for mosquitoes to be borne they need water and warm weather. It’s not possible to change the daily temperatures from rising. However it is possible for you to get control of the standing water on your property. If you follow these easy steps weekly you can make a difference in your yard. Tip over Items such as kid toys & pools, tires, flower pots and wheel barrels weekly to remove standing water in them. Fill in or drain low areas of your yard that retain water. Fix gutters that do not drain and remove leaves that have collected in them. Review your down spout piping that removes water away from your home. If it is ribbed replace it with smooth interior wall pipes. These ribs will hold a lot of water and are responsible for millions of mosquitoes in your yard. Remember a water free yard will give you a great start in removing mosquitoes from it. With your help and Mosquito Enemy we can work together  to keep your yard mosquito free all year long.

Mosquito Control Choices For Wenham MA

Mosquito Information, UncategorizedJeff Emerson

 

 

 

Adulticides,Barrier Spray Treatments and Lavacides are the three best known practices to achieve mosquito control. Lets go over each one in more depth. Do you know witch one is right for you?

 

Adulticides are the most common ways your County will treat for mosquito populations that may be carrying a virus. You have more then likely seen them spraying what appears to be a  white cloud of mist floating away from there vehicle.  The pesticides that are being applied by a misting gun are only short lived in the environment. When the mist cloud stops drifting and lands the effectiveness is gone. Adulticides that are sprayed in this manner are targeting the adult mosquitoes in flight. This application is usually done in and near wet or swampy areas during dawn and dusk of each day. This application even though its very effective does very little in helping you in your quest to be mosquito free in your back yard.

Barrier Spray Treatments can be either all-natural or pesticides. The pesticides are more effective in eradicating adult mosquitoes then the all natural choices. The all-naturals need to be reapplied sooner then the pesticides, as they are not as stable in the environment and effectiveness is lost much sooner, both are effective in reducing the mosquito population by large numbers.  Witch one you may choose depends upon what your trying to achieve with known effectiveness and costs between the two choices.

Mosquito Control

Lavacides are pesticides that will attack and kill the first three stages of the mosquitoes life cycle before they become adults, there are many products and different ways to achieve these results. If you can control the first three stages of the mosquitoes life cycle the effectiveness of the barrier sprays are much more effective achieving your goal of being mosquito free.

Mosquito Control in Topsfield, MA

Mosquito Control in Topsfield MA

In the field of mosquito control in Topsfield MA research scientists have far too often studied to kill, rather than to understand. Yet, by peering into the realm of mosquito biology, recent research has found an amorous side to the world’s deadliest animal and number one pest.

For those unfamiliar with the mosquito life cycle, their adult life is dominated by the hunt for both food and a mate. Male mosquitoes, after they full mature, locate females by listening for the sounds of their wings. Once the female has found a worthy male the two mate, perpetuating the life cycle of the mosquito.

That, however, doesn’t sound very romantic.

Studies conducted by Cornell University’s Department of Entomology have, however, given new insight into mosquito mating behavior. Cornell’s recent research on Aedes aegypti, the mosquitoes responsible for spreading Dengue and Yellow Fever, has found that females are listening for lovers. Their findings have also dispelled a few former assumptions about the behavior of A.aegyptimosquitoes: that females are a deaf, passive participant in the mating ritual and that males cannot hear frequencies that are above 1,000 hertz.

It turns out that, when looking for the right mate, female A. aegypti mosquitoes will engage potential mates in a duet. Both the male and female will respond to one another’s sound effects in the close proximity of courtship. Though most human’s know the mosquito’s buzz, or flight tone, as the whining prelude to a mosquito bite, it plays a large role in the sexual selection of A. aegypti mosquitoes.

The operatic duet is a willing female’s challenge for males, a test of their physiological fitness. The buzzing sound many people know, and hate, actually comes from the beating of a mosquitoes wings and the sympathetic vibration of the thorax. Females buzz at a frequency of 400 hertz (close to middle C note). Males, since they are smaller in size, hum in flight at the higher frequency of 600 hertz and aim to match the female’s overtone during the mating process.Once a love connection is made between a couple, the two will adjust their wing speeds to create a harmonic at about 1,200 hertz.

Researchers have called this musical union a “love song,” as a successful duet is the prelude to the couple’s copulation. Ah, that’s amore.
