Outdoor pest pressure in Braidwood is seasonal but predictable: mosquitoes track standing water and humidity, ticks track brush and tall grass. a humid continental climate with hot, humid summers, cold and often harsh winters, and significant lake-effect influence near Lake Michigan determines how long that season runs.
Our approach starts with identifying every standing-water source and brush or tall-grass area on the property, since those are where mosquitoes breed and ticks wait for a host. We treat vegetation and resting areas with a barrier spray and apply larvicide to any water that can't be drained, repeating on a seasonal schedule for ongoing control.
