Mosquitoes and ticks aren’t just a nuisance—they can also transmit serious diseases, some of which are particularly concerning on the West Coast. Mosquitoes in this region can carry West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis, which can cause flu-like symptoms and, in severe cases, neurological complications. On the other hand, ticks are known to spread Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Pacific Coast tick fever, which can lead to serious health issues if left untreated.
At Western Exterminator, we believe you should be able to enjoy your outdoor space all season long. Our mosquito and tick control service helps protect your family and pets, so you can relax knowing your yard is defended against these pests.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to treat for mosquitoes and ticks?
These pests thrive in warm weather, making monthly tick and mosquito treatments the best way to help keep them under control. The length of service depends on your location, ensuring you get targeted protection when you need it most. Western’s experts can help determine the ideal treatment plan for your area.
Does the mosquito and tick control service protect my pets?
Yes, our mosquito and tick control service is designed with your pets' safety in mind while effectively reducing these pests in your yard. However, since mosquitoes and ticks can be encountered beyond your yard, we highly recommend following your vet’s guidance on pet treatments for complete protection. Your pets can still contract tick and mosquito-related diseases in other places.
Is mosquito and tick control only used in the yard?
Your expert will strategically treat your yard, using products targeting ticks and mosquitoes in areas where these pests are most active while ensuring the safety of your outdoor space. Additionally, treatment applications will be avoided around herb and vegetable gardens and food prep areas like grills and outdoor bars.
When are mosquitoes and ticks most active?
Mosquitoes thrive in warm weather, emerging in the spring and becoming most active at dawn and dusk during the summer. Their activity slows in the fall and stops after the first freeze or when temperatures consistently drop below 50°F.
Ticks are most common in warmer months but remain active in cooler weather as long as temperatures stay above freezing and there’s no snow on the ground. They often hide in leaf litter for warmth, so be cautious when raking leaves in the fall.
What is the best repellent for mosquitoes and ticks?
The best repellents for mosquitoes and ticks contain active ingredients such as DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. These ingredients are proven to be effective for a period of time, but they typically need to be reapplied throughout the day for continuous protection.
While personal repellents are helpful, Western Exterminator’s tick and mosquito spray service is a superior option for long-term protection. Our service targets areas where mosquitoes and ticks rest and breed, applying an EPA-registered barrier treatment that provides lasting control for weeks. Unlike sprays that only offer temporary, localized relief, our mosquito and tick control service treats your entire yard, helping to significantly reduce pest populations and the risk of disease.
