Professional Mosquito and Tick Treatment for Chepachet
Chepachet is a village in the town of Glocester, tucked into the wooded hills of northwestern Rhode Island. The name comes from the Pequot and Nipmuc word meaning "where rivers meet," and the Chepachet River still flows through the heart of the village. Between the river, the surrounding forest, and the rural character of the area, Chepachet has the kind of landscape where mosquitoes breed and ticks thrive. Mosquito Mike provides professional mosquito control, tick control, and General Pest Control services to Chepachet families. Rhode Island pesticide license 6863 covers our operations, and every technician carries a Core Applicator license. Our trained professionals understand the pest pressures that come with living in the wooded, rural parts of the state.

Mosquito Control
The Chepachet River and surrounding wetlands create the moist, shaded environment mosquitoes love. They're most active at sunrise and sundown, especially in the wooded river corridors around Chepachet properties.
Rhode Island mosquitoes carry West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), and Zika Virus. EEE is a serious concern in rural, wooded communities. In 2019, aerial spraying for EEE was conducted across 21 Rhode Island communities. Horses are particularly susceptible to both WNV and EEE.
Our mosquito treatment reduces populations by up to 90%. We visit every 2-3 weeks throughout the season.
Tick Control
The wooded landscape around Chepachet is textbook tick habitat. Blacklegged ticks are found predominantly in deciduous forest, tall grasslands, and shrubs bordering forest edges, which describes much of northwestern Glocester. Their populations rely heavily on white-tailed deer, and anyone who lives out here knows there's no shortage.
The greatest risk of a tick bite runs from spring through fall, but ticks can be active any time temperatures rise above freezing. Rhode Island ticks transmit Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Powassan virus, and Alpha-gal Syndrome.
Our tick control treatments focus on your property's wooded borders, leaf litter, and tall grass.
Winter Tick Defense
In the wooded areas around Chepachet, ticks have an advantage. The thick leaf litter and forest floor give them plenty of insulation through the colder months. Adult blacklegged ticks remain active from October all the way through May whenever daytime temperatures rise above freezing. That's a long window of exposure for families who hike, walk dogs, or spend time in their yards during the cooler seasons.
The species that carry WNV and EEE bite until the first heavy frost, usually around the end of October. But ticks outlast mosquitoes by months. Our winter tick treatments target them during this extended active period, keeping your property protected until your regular seasonal plan picks back up in spring.

If bugs aren't your only concern, add Rodent Prevention and Termite Monitoring to lock down your home from every angle.
