HOW IT WORKS

Cook’s Mosquito & Tick Control

Mosquitos and ticks aren’t just annoying—they can carry diseases like West Nile virus, Zika virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and Lyme disease. In the Southeast, warm weather keeps both pests active nearly year-round, so protecting your family goes beyond comfort—it’s about safety, too. Cook’s Mosquito & Tick Control addresses both pests together, since they share many of the same outdoor hiding spots.

  • Inspect & Identify
    We start with a thorough inspection of your yard to locate mosquito breeding sites, shaded resting areas, and the tall grass and brush where ticks wait for a host.
  • Treat & Control
    Our technicians apply targeted treatments to non-flowering vegetation, shaded areas, and standing water to control adult mosquitos and larvae, along with the tick habitats along your yard’s edge.
  • Create Barrier
    A protective perimeter treatment keeps mosquitos and ticks from invading your space between visits.
  • Monitor & Maintain
    Your year-round treatment is applied monthly to reinforce your barrier and ensure continued reduction between service visits.
MORE THAN JUST MOSQUITOS

Cook’s Also Protects Against Ticks

Ticks don’t buzz or bite the way mosquitos do, but they carry their own risks—including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Instead of breeding in standing water, they wait in tall grass, brush, and shaded property edges for a person or pet to pass by.

Because mosquitos and ticks favor different parts of your yard, Cook’s Mosquito & Tick Control treats both environments as part of the same service—reducing activity where each pest actually lives, not just where it’s easiest to spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I see results from mosquito and tick treatment?
Most customers notice a significant drop in mosquito and tick activity within 24–48 hours of the first treatment. Our barrier approach ensures long-lasting reduction with each service.
Do I need to treat my yard for mosquitos and ticks even if my neighbors don’t?
Yes – mosquitos and ticks can travel in from neighboring yards and wooded areas, so treating your own property can dramatically reduce your exposure, even if nearby properties aren’t treated. Once in place, our treatments provide effective, ongoing control of both pests.
What areas of my yard do you treat for mosquitos and ticks?
We focus on mosquito hotspots—shaded areas, under decks, non-flowering shrubs, and standing water—as well as the tall grass, brush, and property edges where ticks wait to attach to a passing host.
How often do you treat for mosquitos and ticks?
Cook’s provides monthly Mosquito & Tick Control treatments year-round, across all residential service areas, so protection stays consistent no matter the season.
Is your mosquito and tick treatment safe for pets, kids, and pollinators?
We use products applied based on label directions with precision to minimize impact on pollinators and non-target insects. We avoid flowering plants and notify you in advance so you can take any additional precautions.
Learn more about our environmental commitment
Can I combine Mosquito & Tick Control with other services?
Yes. Many customers pair Mosquito & Tick Control with Cook’s comprehensive pest and termite programs for full-property protection.
Why should I choose Cook’s over DIY mosquito and tick sprays?
DIY methods offer limited relief and often miss breeding sites and tick habitats. Cook’s delivers professional-grade solutions that target the full mosquito life cycle and the outdoor areas where ticks live—and keep working between visits. Our trained technicians apply treatments only where needed—minimizing environmental impact while maximizing results. Plus, our 110% Satisfaction Guarantee means we won’t stop until you’re happy.
Is tick control included with Mosquito & Tick Control, or is it a separate service?
Tick control is included as part of Cook’s Mosquito & Tick Control service. It isn’t available as a standalone treatment and isn’t included with PPS Max general pest control.
