Mosquito and Tick Program

Not only are mosquitoes and ticks an annoyance, it seems every year we are discovering more reasons to avoid contact with these common pests that can pose a real danger. Mosquitoes that are infected can transmit West Nile, Zika, encephalitis viruses to humans and even heartworms to our pets. Ticks are notorious for transmitting Lyme disease and other lesser known diseases such as Alpha-Gal, Babesiosis and Human Anaplasmosis.

Brasure's can help you provide a much more pleasant, safer environment on your property, whether it is your home, business, community pools and tennis courts or your entire community. While no one can guarantee you will be mosquito free, our treatments can greatly reduce the amount of mosquitoes in your environment.

Our trained technicians will treat your property using a motorized backpack with a barrier spray targeting resting areas for mosquitoes such as; foliage, vegetation areas, buildings, porches, eaves, patios, window screens and other areas to kill adult mosquitoes. Your yard will also be treated to kill ticks and reduce fleas.

Once the application has dried, bonding it to the treated surfaces (usually 30-60 minutes), the protection is there and ready for you, your children and pets to enjoy being outside again.

We use an insecticide in the pyrethroid family. Pyrethroids are man-made versions of pyrethrins, which come from chrysanthemum flowers. This is a preferred active ingredient in insecticides due to their longer lasting effectiveness.

The Mosquito & Tick Service visits are scheduled every 2 weeks from May through October.

3 levels of service depending on your property size and needs:

• Patio service covers properties up to 1/2 acre.
• Garden service covers properties up to 1 acre.
• Estate service is for properties over 1 acre.
