Frequently Asked Questions
What diseases do mosquitoes carry in New England?
In Vermont and New Hampshire, mosquitoes can transmit Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and West Nile Virus, though cases are relatively rare. Risk increases in late summer. Avoiding bites through repellents and protective clothing is the best prevention.
How do I reduce mosquitoes in my yard?
Eliminating standing water removes breeding sites—check gutters, plant saucers, toys, and tarps weekly. Even a bottle cap of water can breed mosquitoes. Maintaining vegetation and encouraging natural predators like dragonflies and bats also helps.
Can you treat mosquitoes in Burke's historic homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in treating older Burke properties using methods that won't damage historic materials. Our targeted approach eliminates pests while preserving your home's character.
