It was Christmas 2010 and I was thoroughly incoherent, couldn't think level and had excruciating hip joint pain, so much so that I wound up having crisis surgery, all due to Lyme disease. My sister Tina, who lives not far from Lyme, Connecticut, the epicenter of the Lyme epidemic, asked, "do you get your yard sprayed for ticks?" No, we had never heard of that. Didn't know it was even possible. Sure enough though, it is possible, and there is a new and growing commerce built colse to spraying for ticks and mosquitoes.
The wall spray business within the pest control world has blossomed into a growing field specialized in ridding yards of the ever addition problem of ticks and mosquitoes. Ticks carry Lyme disease and other co-infections. Lyme has been called the great imitator and it is often misdiagnosed as Lupus, multiple Sclerosis, persisting fatigue, Fibromyalgia, eye problems, hearing loss and sometimes even death. Mosquitoes are not only annoying but they can carry diseases along with West Nile Virus. Both can be effectively eradicated.
Kill Mosquitoes
Depending on the schedule offered, pest control clubs will come out to your abode per a prescribed schedule and spray your yard for ticks and mosquitoes. The intervals of spraying commonly are every three weeks while the "season". The season commonly begins when the instances of these pests rise and when people start spending more time outside. Spirited to note, ticks do not hibernate, they are active all winter.
There are two methods of yard spraying. The first is the saturation method. Where pesticide is sprayed through a high powered hose on your grassy areas and fringe areas. The second and more base method is via a backpack sprayer. A backpack sprayer looks just like the leaf blower that the lawn assistance guys use. The unlikeness being, instead of high powered blowing, the sprayer shoots out a very fine mist that will coat vegetation and with the precise pesticide, kill ticks and mosquitoes on experience and provide an invisible wall that will last up to three weeks depending on the product.
There are many pesticide options for the professionals to use. The most base is pyrethroid based. Pyrethroids are comprised of the synthetic derivatives of the chrysanthemum flower. There are also organic options out there such as rosemary oil and to a lesser extent garlic. Who knew that a flower and herbs would kill ticks and mosquitoes?
This season it is potential to have a tick and mosquito free backyard.
