How to keep bugs away this summer
Freedom and fireworks – that’s a pretty good representation of how many of us recognize and celebrate July 4th every year but of course, there are other ways to acknowledge our country’s Independence. Whether you enjoyed a quiet weekend with the family “upta” camp or spent the holiday playing cornhole, eating good food, and imbibing in your favorite beverage with friends, we hope you had a great time and didn’t let the bugs get to you!
Oh yes, now that summer has arrived in Maine, the bugs are out and they’re kind of obnoxious. From ants in the kitchen to mosquitoes biting on the back deck, summer pests are out in force! The good news is that you don’t have to spend the rest of the summer fighting pests on your own; Advanced Pest Solutions, a locally owned and operated pest control company based out of Litchfield, offers effective pest control treatments that can help you take back your home and property.
Seasonal mosquito and tick control
Two of the most infamous summer pests in our neck of the woods, mosquitoes and ticks don’t just bite (or embed if we’re talking about ticks), they have the ability to spread disease. While mosquito-borne illness isn’t as prevalent in Maine as in other states, Lyme disease, spread by infected deer ticks, is a big problem. Sadly, it’s not the only tick-borne disease in Maine that residents should be wary of.
If you want to take back your outdoor living space and surrounding property, contact Advanced Pest Solutions. We offer seasonal protection against mosquitoes and ticks that includes:
A thorough inspection to identify areas where these pests breed and where they rest
A tick drag, if necessary
Monthly yard treatments April – September
Home pest control services that keep summer pests out
Ants, spiders, yellow jackets - really the list of Maine pests that aggravate us during the summer months goes on and on. Of course, the threat level of each one varies. For instance, beetles, silverfish, and odorous house ants are annoying but not what you’d consider a risk to human or pet health. Carpenter ants, on the other hand, are wood-destroying pests that activate in the spring and don’t stop infesting (and damaging) wood until the cold weather arrives. And finally, we have yellow jackets and other stinging insects that, if encountered, leave their victims with stings and potentially life-threatening conditions if allergic.
At Advanced Pest Solutions, we have a keen understanding of the pests mentioned above as well as other insects and rodents that infest homes and properties in Chelsea, Winthrop, and throughout central and coastal Maine. Not only are we well-versed in their behavior, and the risks associated with each insect or rodent, we know how to neutralize the threats each pose.
In other words, our home pest control services are highly effective in eliminating insects and rodents that invade homes. No matter the season or the pest, our team is ready to help you get rid of the pests that have shown up in and around your home.
