Mosquitoes need standing water to breed, and ticks need tall grass, leaf litter, or brush to ambush a host — both of which are common features of Brainerd properties. a humid continental climate with brief, warm summers and long, brutally cold winters, more severe than the Twin Cities the farther north you go extends the active season for both considerably.
Treatment combines a barrier spray applied to vegetation, fence lines, and other resting spots where adult mosquitoes and ticks congregate, with larvicide treatment in any standing water on the property that can't be eliminated outright. A single treatment typically provides several weeks of reduced activity, with a seasonal program recommended for consistent control.
