5 Reasons You Should Start Spraying for Ticks and Mosquitoes This Spring
As the snow melts and the temperatures rise, New Hampshire welcomes the beauty of spring—but it also marks the return of two of the most unwelcome guests: ticks and mosquitoes. These tiny pests aren’t just annoying—they pose real health risks to your family, pets, and even your property. If you want to enjoy your yard safely this year, here are 5 reasons why now is the time to start spraying for ticks and mosquitoes.
1. Prevent the Breeding Boom Before It Starts
Both ticks and mosquitoes begin breeding as soon as temperatures consistently rise above 50°F. Spring is their prime time to establish habitats and lay eggs, meaning a small problem now could become a major infestation by summer. Spraying early in the season helps break the breeding cycle before populations explode, giving you better control all year long.
2. Protect Your Family from Serious Diseases
Ticks and mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance—they’re known carriers of dangerous diseases. In New Hampshire, ticks can transmit Lyme disease, which is a serious and often long-lasting illness. Mosquitoes can spread West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), both of which have been reported in the region. Regular spraying reduces the risk of bites and the potential health threats that come with them.
3. Keep Outdoor Spaces Enjoyable
There’s nothing worse than stepping outside to enjoy your yard, only to be swarmed by mosquitoes or worried about ticks hiding in the grass. By treating your property in the spring, you create a barrier that keeps these pests away—so you can relax, entertain, and let your kids or pets play outside without constantly swatting or checking for bites.
4. Protect Pets from Parasites
Your pets are just as vulnerable—if not more—to ticks and mosquitoes. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis to dogs, while mosquitoes are the main culprits behind heartworm infections. Spraying your yard reduces the exposure your pets have to these parasites and adds an extra layer of protection beyond their standard flea and tick preventatives.
5. Cost-Effective Prevention vs. Expensive Solutions
Waiting until ticks and mosquitoes are already a problem often means more aggressive treatments, more frequent visits, and potentially dealing with medical expenses if someone gets sick. Preventative spraying in the spring is a cost-effective solution that saves time, money, and stress by keeping pests under control from the start.
