Need to get rid of fleas, ticks or mosquitoes in your yard?

(Willow Grove, Pa. – July 8, 2024) Summer is in full swing and there is so much to look forward to, including picnics, baseball, barbecues, and pool parties. It is also high season for fleas, mosquitoes and ticks, which keep many people and their pets stuck indoors, and unable to enjoy their yards and other outdoor spaces. The experts at Mosquito Hunters of Willow Grove help homeowners reclaim their yards from these invaders, with treatments that eliminate mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks.

More than just a mere annoyance, mosquitoes, ticks and fleas transmit diseases. According to the Department of Health & Human Services, 476,000 people were treated for Lyme Disease in 2023, there were over 2000 cases of West Nile disease and there were 10 cases of locally acquired malaria reported in Florida, Texas, Maryland and Arkansas*. Let’s not forget that fleas carry parasites and dangerous bacteria that can be harmful to pets and humans. While there is no universal vaccine to prevent mosquito, flea or tick-borne illnesses, the best defense is to not get bitten by these pests in the first place.

In addition, a recent Patch article shared that the CDC has released a new Dengue warning for the Americas, as dengue cases have reached an all-time high. According to the article, so far, 24 Pennsylvania travelers have been sickened by the virus. The dengue virus is spread to people through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito, which also spreads Zika, chikungunya, and other viruses.

Mosquito Hunters of Willow Grove can help. “We offer pest control solutions that reduce the risk of disease transmission and promote public health,” said owner Chyvonne Shackelford-Bacon. “Each property is unique and so are our services. We utilize a customized approach for pest control for each client.”

Treatments range from a product made from chrysanthemum flowers that destroys mosquito and tick populations and larvae clusters to all natural products that contain essential oils including lemongrass, cedarwood, rosemary, cinnamon, and garlic, that either kill mosquitoes instantly or have a repellent effect. Customers have the option to have a one-time treatment, which can be done in advance of events, like backyard barbecues, or have Mosquito Hunters re-spray every 21 days. With each option, the solution breaks down into harmless byproducts, has no negative effects on your plants and dries within 30 minutes.

Are you protected if your municipality is sprayed for mosquitos? In many cases, the municipality utilizes a truck to spray a fog that target adult mosquitoes located in areas close to the truck and the fog doesn’t reach most people’s yards. So, there is no guarantee that your property will be mosquito free.

The best scenario is to hire a professional to treat your property and help you identify problem areas that attract mosquitoes, fleas and ticks. A proactive plan and regular treatments are your best defense.
