Tick and Mosquito Control in Western New York

Yes — professional tick treatment is significantly more effective than store-bought sprays. Ticks hide in tall grass, shrubs, leaf litter, and shaded vegetation where DIY products rarely reach, and a single bite can transmit disease.

Ticks and fleas are both blood-feeding parasites that often enter the home, and both thrive in the same shaded, vegetated yard areas.

Mosquitoes need as little as one inch of standing water to lay their eggs, so removing water sources is the single most effective prevention step.

Eco Serve pairs professional yard treatments with breeding-source reduction for longer-lasting relief. See common mosquito breeding grounds for a full checklist.
