Mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. . .  sometimes it seems they are all lining up to see how they can ruin your summertime cookouts, barbecues, or yard games.    The challenge of eradicating lawn pests can seem never-ending in south central Pennsylvania and makes lawn pest control a priority for most homeowners in this area. 

Mosquitoes Spread Disease

Mosquitoes are the biggest culprit of all the patio and lawn pests, not just because of their nasty bites  but also because of their role in spreading disease such as the Zika Virus or West Nile Virus.  For a number of years now, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has conducted an active program for combatting West Nile Virus and targets specific areas for mosquito treatment each year.
