The Modern Solution

Modern Pest Services’ HomeCare Mosquito, Flea, and Tick Program: the modern solution to mosquito, flea, and tick prevention this summer.

OUR HOMECARE MOSQUITO, FLEA, AND TICK PROGRAM is a targeted application using effective, yet low toxicity materials to protect your family and yard from mosquito, flea, and tick-borne illness throughout the entire season.

A complete mosquito, flea, and tick residential pest control service in New England not only eliminates breeding sites and targets hot spots around your home, but it also includes long-term prevention.

Our program consists of six monthly treatments between April and September, and it has proven to effectively reduce mosquito, flea, and tick populations.

Pest problems in your home?

How We Keep Your Home Pest Free

Thorough

Modern first concentrates on eliminating the source of the mosquito resting areas. Our service begins with a careful inspection, locating pest “hot spots” to help minimize conditions that promote pest activity. Most common mosquito resting areas are under foliage, in wooded areas, and shaded damp sections around a home.

Effective

A repellent application is sprayed in areas of infestation to reduce any adult populations and prevent further reproduction.

Follow-up inspections and treatments are conducted over the summer months when ticks are most active.

Safe

At Modern Pest Services, our number one priority is to keep you and your loved ones safe.

Our team is highly trained — they always make sure to avoid applying materials in places that your family and pets may have frequent contact. The material is non-transferrable once dried, and your family and pets can enjoy your yard after a few short hours.

Why control Mosquitoes, Fleas, and Ticks?

Many of the diseases that these insects transfer to humans can cause serious health issues, and even death. Our HomeCare Mosquito, Flea, and Tick Control Program is designed to focus on the areas of your property where you and your family frequent the most when enjoying the outdoors and limiting the number of insects that could cause harm to your family.

Mosquitoes

Your home and backyard are a breeding ground for mosquito problems. Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance, but they are also carriers of several diseases such as EEE (Eastern Equine Encephalitis), Zika, and West Nile virus.

Mosquitoes generally start appearing early in the summer, depending on the weather patterns, and can be a severe nuisance to many outdoor activities. A quality mosquito control system can change this. Most common mosquito resting areas are under foliage, in wooded areas, and shaded damp sections around a home. Our outdoor mosquito control can make your backyard safer and more enjoyable during the summertime.

Fleas

Fleas are small, wingless, 1⁄12–1⁄16th inches long in size. They are covered in spines with piercing mouthparts. Most diseases that are spread by fleas will infect your pets while the infected adult flea is feeding.

Additionally, parasites can be transmitted through accidental ingestion of flea eggs. Flea bites are usually found on the ankles and legs. Pain may last a few minutes, hours, or days depending on one’s sensitivity.

Ticks

American Dog Ticks, Brown Dog Ticks and Black Legged Deer Ticks are the most common species. Infestations have been on the rise here over the past few years, which is a large concern.

Ticks not only cause discomfort and irritation, they are carriers of diseases such as Lyme Disease and Powassan. Ticks cannot hop or fly and must latch on to their targets from elevated surfaces such as tall grass and overgrown wooded areas. The perimeter of your home is susceptible to infestation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be home for my service to be performed?

No. This treatment is an exterior yard treatment and does not require anyone to be home.

If it rains after my HomeCare Mosquito, Flea, and Tick Service is completed, will it be ineffective?

No. Once the product dries and bonds to foliage, the product will not immediately wash away. Typically, the product dries in as little as 15-20 minutes on an average day.

What areas of my yard will be treated?

Treatment is concentrated on the foliage around the perimeter of the yard including 3-5 foot band of transition area of the lawn, where the lawn turns into areas of foliage, and into the wooded area. Treatment will also be made to other areas of foliage and shade around the yard as deemed necessary by the technician.

Why isn't my lawn treated?

Treatment of the lawn is not necessary to control mosquitoes / fleas / ticks. Less than 1% of mosquitoes / fleas / ticks are found in the center of the lawn as the conditions are not favorable for their survival.

How long after my service is complete can my kids/pets go outside?

Modern Pest recommends that kids/pets stay inside while the treatment is being performed and remain there until the product completely dries, which typically happens in as little as 15-20 minutes on an average day.

How long before I will see results and how long will the treatment last?

Results should begin 1-2 days after application is made and last between 3-4 weeks depending on conditions and breeding sites in/around yard.

What kind of results should I expect from my HomeCare Mosquito, Flea, and Tick Treatment?

Results can vary slightly from yard to yard depending on conditions in and around your yard / neighborhood. This is a reduction service and not a complete elimination of the vector species (mosquito / flea / tick). There should be a noticeable reduction in mosquitoes / fleas / ticks in your yard, however, this does not mean that your yard will have no activity or result in zero bites.

I have a well on my property, will this be a problem?

No. This treatment is applied using a cold mistblower or backpack sprayer to foliage around your property and will not contaminate ground water or wells as it does not leach into the ground.

I have a garden and fruit trees on my property, will they be treated?

Gardens, herbs, and fruit trees will not be treated. The products we use for control of mosquitoes / fleas / ticks are not systemic and will not enter root systems or interior of fruits, herbs, and vegetables. Please make us aware if your yard contains any of these conditions so that we can treat accordingly. It is always recommended to wash these items prior to consumption.

Do I need to prepare for the treatment?

Yes, preparation for your HomeCare Mosquito, Flea, and Tick Service consists of making sure that all locked areas are open, all children’s toys and items in the yard are cleared, and pets are left inside in case nobody is home when we arrive. Your lawn should also be mowed 1-2 days prior to service.

I had service, but I still see bugs in my yard. Why?

This service is not designed to rid your yard of all insects, but rather is highly targeted for mosquitoes / fleas / ticks.
