Seasonal Mosquito & Tick Treatments in Central Illinois & the Quad Cities

Disease-transmitting mosquitoes and ticks are typically a problem in Illinois and Iowa as early as March and as late as October. Spring rains and warmer temperatures allow breeding to occur, especially around properties that have a good amount of moisture, shade, and vegetation. Ornamental ponds, bird baths, and outdoor play equipment can quickly become a suitable habitat for the female mosquito to lay her eggs - as long as the water remains stagnant. Low-growing ground cover creates a dense environment that not only retains moisture, but encourages mosquitoes and ticks to rest during the warmest hours of the day. Ticks gain greater mobility by latching onto humans and domestic animals passing by. Swatting at mosquitoes and avoiding your backyard over worry about ticks is no way to enjoy your summer.

Our Three Step Program To Eliminate Mosquitoes & Ticks

At Quik-Kill Pest Eliminators, treatment for mosquitoes and ticks is comprehensive by design. In our Outdoor Living™ plan, our entomologists have created a three-step program that is as thorough as it is effective.

Here’s how we’ll protect you: 

Step 1: We begin by conducting a complete inspection of your yard and surrounding property to identify where mosquitoes reside and breed.

Step 2: Our pest control professionals will apply an adult mosquito treatment which provides immediate knock-out and relief. We utilize a specialized mosquito misting system to provide a repellent treatment to foliage areas around the property, paying special attention to areas that retain moisture (i.e. bushes, shrubs, under decks, boundary areas, etc.). This is performed on regular intervals during peak periods of mosquito and tick activity.

Step 3: We’ll limit mosquito populations by treating breeding areas with a biological mosquito larvicide that stops the development of larvae at its source!

Each mosquito and tick treatment can give you up to four weeks of relief, which is a lot of time to enjoy the outdoors during those balmy summer days and nights. Our Outdoor Living™ plan will reduce the numbers of these annoying and potentially dangerous insects.
