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 Chilmark properties. a coastal climate moderated by the Atlantic, with milder winters and cooler summers than inland Massachusetts extends the active season for both considerably.
Mosquito and tick control here is about disrupting the life cycle at multiple points: larvicide in standing water stops mosquito breeding before it starts, and a vegetation barrier spray targets adult mosquitoes and ticks where they rest during the day. Seasonal retreatment keeps protection consistent through the warm months.
