Mosquito & Tick Yard Treatment

Yard treatment targets the shaded, humid resting sites where adult mosquitoes and ticks actually spend the day: leaf litter, ivy beds, dense shrub lines, low tree canopy, and fence lines. Demand peaks May through September and seasonal programs fill fastest in April, so early spring booking secures preferred start dates. A single treatment holds roughly two to three weeks; a season program of six or seven visits keeps steady pressure on the yard through the worst of July and August.

Properties backing to wooded lots, the Accotink Creek stream valley, or park edges near Van Dyck Park and Daniels Run Park carry higher tick pressure than open interior lots. The inspection includes a water-source walk — gutters, tarps, corrugated downspout extensions, pot saucers, and toys holding rainwater — because eliminating breeding water beats any spray.
