As the rain soaks the soil and flowers begin to bloom, spring in New England comes to life. But there’s a less pleasant side effect of all that moisture and warmth: mosquitoes and ticks. Those April showers that feed your garden also create the perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Standing water collects in birdbaths, gutters, flowerpots, and even small dips in your lawn—inviting mosquito larvae to hatch and take flight in May and beyond.

Why You Should Take Mosquitoes (and Ticks) Seriously

Mosquitoes aren’t just annoying—they’re vectors of disease, meaning they can transmit illnesses to both humans and pets. In Connecticut, we routinely deal with concerns like:

• West Nile virus
• Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE)
• Jamestown Canyon virus
• Zika Virus

And let’s not forget ticks—especially blacklegged ticks (deer ticks)—which can transmit Lyme disease, a growing concern across our state.

The Solution: Verdant Pest Control’s Mosquito & Tick Reduction Program

We offer a comprehensive, science-backed mosquito and tick reduction service that provides ongoing protection for your property throughout the warm months. Here’s how it works:

• Targeted Treatments – We treat mosquito resting sites like shrubs, shaded areas, and under decks where adult mosquitoes hide during the day.
• Larvicide Applications – We apply larvicide to standing water and breeding sites to stop mosquitoes before they can even fly.
• Barrier Protection – Our perimeter treatments form a protective zone around your property, helping keep both mosquitoes and ticks at bay.
• Recurring Visits – Service continues through the peak season, keeping your yard safer and more enjoyable all summer long.

Protect Your Family, Pets, and Peace of Mind

Your backyard should be a place to relax, play, and entertain—not swat, scratch, or stress about bites and bugs. Our service is designed to:

• Reduce the risk of disease
• Make outdoor spaces more comfortable
• Give you the confidence to let pets and kids roam freely
