Professional Mosquito Treatments
Hidden Dangers of Your Yard's Mosquito Population
Mosquitoes remain one of the most problematic insects homeowners face during warm months in Pennsylvania. According to the CDC, mosquitoes cause more human suffering than any other organism, with over one million people worldwide dying from mosquito-borne diseases every year. Professional treatment provides the most effective solution for long-term mosquito prevention.
What Draws Mosquitoes To Your Property
Understanding what attracts mosquitoes is crucial for effective abatement strategies. These insects are attracted to specific conditions that many yards unfortunately provide. Standing water serves as ideal breeding grounds, with female mosquitoes capable of laying hundreds of eggs in spaces as small as a bottle cap of water. Dense vegetation, evening outdoor lighting, and carbon dioxide from human breathing also draw mosquitoes to residential properties.
Common mosquito attractants in Pennsylvania yards include:
- Standing water in birdbaths, clogged gutters, and plant saucers
- Overgrown grass and dense shrubs providing shade and humidity
- Evening outdoor activities with lights and carbon dioxide emissions
- Flowerbeds with fragrant plants that attract both pollinators and mosquitoes
Professional Treatment Advantages
While DIY mosquito control might seem cost-effective initially, recurring professional treatments offer superior benefits. Professional mosquito prevention uses EPA-approved formulations that target mosquitoes at various life stages, creating a comprehensive barrier around your property. Custom Lawn Care, Inc.'s treatments last up to 60 days—nearly three times longer than store-bought alternatives that require reapplication every 21 days.
Professional mosquito services deliver:
- Targeted treatment of breeding sites often missed by homeowners
- Professional-grade products unavailable to consumers
- Comprehensive property assessment identifying unique risk factors
- Seasonal protection requiring fewer applications but providing better results
Our experts understand the specific mosquito species in Pennsylvania and apply treatments when and where they'll be most effective, ensuring your yard remains protected throughout mosquito season. Our trained technicians are ready to answer all your questions about keeping your outdoor spaces mosquito-free.

Professional Flea and Tick Control
Combat Fleas and Ticks for a Safer Home Environment
Protecting your family and pets from fleas and ticks requires more than just occasional DIY efforts. Research shows that over 75% of homeowners who attempt to handle flea and tick problems themselves end up needing professional intervention within three months. These persistent pests carry serious health risks and thrive in Pennsylvania yards during warmer months.
Why Professional Treatment Makes the Difference
When you compare professional treatment plans to do-it-yourself methods, the benefits become clear. Professional treatments target the entire life cycle of fleas and ticks with specialized formulations not available to consumers. These treatments create protective barriers around your property that last significantly longer than store-bought solutions. Regular professional applications ensure continuous protection without the guesswork of mixing chemicals or determining proper application rates yourself.
Fleas and ticks in your home and yard pose substantial health threats to your family and pets. These parasites can transmit serious illnesses including:
Health Risks from Fleas and Ticks in Pennsylvania
- Lyme disease, which affects approximately 300,000 Americans annually
- Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which can cause severe complications if untreated
- Tapeworms, commonly transmitted to pets through flea ingestion
- Anemia in pets from significant blood loss during heavy infestations
What Attracts These Pests to Your Property
Fleas and ticks are drawn to specific conditions in your yard and home. Tall grass, leaf litter, and dense vegetation provide ideal hiding spots for ticks. Wildlife visitors like deer, raccoons, and rodents transport ticks directly into your yard. Inside your home, warm, humid environments and carpet fibers create perfect breeding grounds for fleas. Understanding these attraction factors is crucial for effective prevention strategies.
Our comprehensive treatment plans address all these factors with targeted applications and expert prevention advice. Let our team help you develop a customized protection plan that keeps these dangerous pests away from your loved ones all season long.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do anything to help reduce mosquitoes between treatments?
Yes—removing standing water (like birdbaths, clogged gutters, or unused containers), trimming overgrown shrubs, and keeping your lawn well-maintained all help reduce mosquito breeding areas.
How long before I can use my yard after treatment?
Re-entry times vary by product type and your specific landscape. We'll provide specific guidance based on the treatment used - typically it's safe once surfaces are dry, but we'll give you exact timing.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Many customers notice a significant drop in mosquito activity within 24–48 hours after the first treatment. Consistent service helps maintain control all season long.
