The life cycle of a tick spans about 2 years and consists of 4 stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. The tick needs to feed on a new host at every stage and begins with little risk of spreading tick-borne illness, eventually becoming more and more dangerous as it matures.

When a mosquito bites a dog or other animal that is already infected with heartworm, the mosquito picks up microfilariae (AKA: small, baby parasitic worms). For the next couple of weeks, the microfilariae mature into larvae inside the mosquito. When the mosquito then bites another dog, the larvae enter the dog at the site of the bite. It takes several months for the larvae to mature into adult heartworms inside your dog, at which point they mate and produce offspring. The full lifecycle of a heartworm is 5-7 years, and a dog can carry anywhere from 1 to hundreds of heartworms at one time!

April is Heartworm Awareness Month, and as spring weather brings more opportunities to spend time outdoors with pets, it’s important to take steps to keep our furry friends safe from this dangerous mosquito-borne illness.

Heartworm prevention is key to keeping our pets healthy and happy, and professional mosquito control can help protect them in your yard.

If you’ve ever tried to remove a tick, you know how tough it can be to remove it cleanly without the head separating from the body. Why? A tick bites much differently than a mosquito, feeds for far longer, and leaves a very different bite behind, eliciting a different response from our immune system. Let’s take a closer look. Here’s how a tick bites, how your body reacts, and how to protect yourself, your family, and your pets!

Want to reduce mosquito populations in your yard this summer? Look out for standing water traps on your property, like clogged roof gutters, swimming pool covers, and empty cans, buckets, flowerpots, old tires, trash cans, and other receptacles that can collect rainwater. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant, standing fresh water, laying hundreds of eggs at a time. Even small amounts of water can help mosquitoes multiply when left stagnant for at least 4 to 7 days.

Top Tips for Tick Prevention:
✅When spending time outdoors, especially when hiking or working in overgrown foliage, wear long sleeves and long pants, so the ticks cannot find a place to bite.
✅Use a strong insect repellent containing effective ingredients, and make sure to check the labels for safe use, especially for children.
✅Regularly mow your lawn and remove any piles of leaves, brush, and debris where ticks can hide.
✅Regularly treat your pets with tick preventive medications. Talk to your vet about the right prevention for your pet.
✅Regularly check your pets for any signs of ticks, including between the toes, under the collar, under the arms, around the eyelids, under the tail, and around the head and ears. Remove them promptly.
✅Regularly check yourself and your kids for any signs of ticks, especially under the arms, in and behind the ears, behind the knees, around the waist and belly button, and in the hairline. Remove them promptly.

Go Aja! 😁🎉

If you’ve called Snow Squad, you’ve likely spoken with the amazing Aja, our Snow Commander! Aja does everything snow, it’s only fitting that she kicks off our very first Team Member Tuesday. Her incredible communication and organization keep Snow Squad running smoothly, whether she’s answering phones, providing quotes, sending notifications, directing drivers, running parts, or even working on the tractors. She’s here for those early mornings and late nights, supporting both our team and customers during snow launches.

When she’s not running the show, Aja loves being out in the snow with her dogs. 🐾 Aja, thank you for everything you do—it doesn’t go unnoticed, and we appreciate you so much!

The special larvicide in the trap kills mosquito larvae only at the moment they pupate. The larvae in the trap will therefore die right before they would otherwise emerge into adult mosquitoes. These dead pupae are often eaten by the larvae and you will not be able to see them in the water. Seeing a lot of live larvae inside the station thus does not mean it is not working. On the contrary, the larval odors actually make the trap even more attractive to egg-laying females.
