Mosquito & Tick Control
West Long Branch, NJ
Here at Coastal Mosquito and tick, we offer a range of services tailored to address the specific needs and concerns of our clients. These services typically include comprehensive inspections, treatment plans, and ongoing maintenance programs. Upon inspection, we assess the property, identify potential breeding sites, and determine the presence of mosquito or tick infestations. Based on our findings, we develop a customized treatment plan to mitigate the problem and prevent future outbreaks.
We employ various methods and techniques to effectively control and manage these pests. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a commonly used approach that focuses on a combination of strategies to minimize reliance on chemical treatments. IPM principles include habitat modification, elimination of breeding sites, and the targeted application of environmentally-friendly insecticides when necessary.
We also may implement larval control measures, such as treating standing water sources with larvicides or introducing mosquito-eating fish to natural bodies of water. Additionally, our adult mosquito control may involve the use of misting systems, fogging, or barrier treatments to reduce adult populations in outdoor spaces.
Our tick control strategies often includes habitat modification, such as removing leaf litter, keeping grass trimmed, and creating tick-safe zones. Barrier treatments using acaricides may be applied to vegetation to target ticks in their nymphal stage. Sometimes, we offer tick-dragging services, which involve dragging a cloth over potential tick habitats to collect and remove ticks.
