Tick Spraying Services Bedford
As a home or business owner, you may underestimate the importance of tick spraying services. Bedford’s top tick control company, Mosquito Shield, is here to tell you why you need to invest in tick spraying sooner rather than later. Massachusetts’ tick population has increased in the last decade – and the risk of disease and infection has risen.
Ticks are some of the most potent vectors for life-threatening diseases in the world. Their feeding habits put hosts at risk of contracting Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, tularemia, and many other viruses. Get the facts on insect-borne diseases. Here’s how to protect your family from these dangerous diseases.
Step 1: Learn About Ticks
To defeat ticks, you must first learn as much as you can about them. The easiest way to learn about ticks is by partnering with Mosquito Shield. We have licensed and trained tick experts who know the local species, their habits, and how to prevent them from biting you and your family. Here are a few important facts you should know before investing in tick spraying services in Bedford:
- Ticks are attracted to carbon dioxide. Among other things, the CO2 we exhale appeals to ticks and helps them target potential hosts. By masking CO2 on all active areas of a property, Mosquito Shield effectively eliminates what attracts ticks to your lawn and home in the first place. Read our history to learn how we created our Tick Shield solution.
- Ticks like to hide in certain areas of your lawn. Effective tick spraying services in Bedford rely on the ability to attack tick colonies at their sources. Seed ticks, or newborn ticks, can attack hosts at numbers up to 30,000 at a time – enough to paralyze or even kill weaker and older animals. Finding where ticks are living and breeding is a main part of tick eradication.
- There is no one-time treatment to get rid of ticks. Don’t let this discourage you – Mosquito Shield has come up with an excellent tick control plan to keep ticks at bay for as long as you wish, with consistent treatments on a flexible schedule. Mosquito Shield enables home and business owners to live tick-free for good.

They will also study weather and property conditions to take a holistic approach to your pest control treatment.

About Us
Mosquito Shield was founded in September 2001. We’ve all been there, trying to enjoy our homes’ outdoors, only to have our limited time outside ruined by unwanted mosquitos and insects. It was clear that the mosquito control products available at the time—body sprays, candles, mosquito magnets—weren’t up to the task. Frustrated with these options, we set out to formulate a true solution. The following 15 years were spent researching the science behind the mosquito life cycle, testing products, application methods and treatment frequency. We developed our own proprietary blend, Mosquito Protection Blend (MPB), that lasts for weeks and gets stronger as mosquito season progressed. Our MPB is made with natural oils that rid you of current mosquitos and repel future unwanted guests. Combining MPB with our FlexBlend application technology has put us at the forefront of residential mosquito control. For tick spraying services Bedford residents can trust, call us at 800-908-7076.
