Professional Mosquito and Tick Treatment for Dedham
Dedham sits at the intersection of multiple waterways that make it especially inviting for mosquitoes and ticks. Mother Brook, the first man-made canal in North America, connects the Charles River to the Neponset River and runs right through town. The Riverdale neighborhood is literally an island surrounded by the Charles River and Long Ditch. Add in Wigwam Pond, pockets of undeveloped land like Ogden's Woods, and mature tree cover across older neighborhoods, and you've got no shortage of moist, shaded habitat where pests thrive. Mosquito Mike provides comprehensive mosquito and tick control for Dedham homeowners. Our programs span seasonal barrier sprays, targeted tick treatments, winter tick defense, and General Pest Control. Our Massachusetts credentials include pesticide license AL-0056150, and all technicians maintain Core Applicator licenses.

Mosquito Control
With Mother Brook, the Charles River, and multiple ponds spread across town, Dedham has plenty of standing and slow-moving water that supports mosquito breeding. But the bigger sources aren't always the ones that matter most.
A sagging tarp over firewood, a forgotten bucket behind the shed, or a dog bowl left out overnight can each produce hundreds of mosquitoes on its own. Mosquitoes stay active in shaded areas throughout the day and ramp up from morning through evening.
Our barrier spray program reduces mosquito populations by up to 90%, targeting the places where they rest, breed, and hide across your property.
Tick Control
Undeveloped areas like Ogden's Woods and the green spaces along Mother Brook give ticks the cover they need. All three common species are present in this part of Massachusetts: blacklegged ticks, Lone Star Ticks, and American Dog Ticks.
Each carries different risks. Blacklegged ticks transmit Lyme disease and Babesiosis. Lone Star Ticks are linked to Ehrlichiosis and Alpha-gal Syndrome. It only takes one deer passing through your yard to drop dozens of ticks behind.
Kids playing near a wooded edge or a mulch bed along the fence line are at risk without knowing it. Our tick control program targets these areas before exposure happens.
Winter Tick Defense
Mosquitoes and ticks don't follow the same calendar. A hard frost, defined as three consecutive hours below 32°F, will kill adult mosquitoes. Ticks are a different story. Blacklegged tick adults stay active from October through May, moving around whenever temperatures rise above freezing.
In Dedham, fallen leaves along wooded yards and brook edges give ticks the insulation they need to survive all winter. That means months of unchecked activity if no one is treating for them. Our winter tick program fills that gap, keeping tick populations in check during the colder months so they don't emerge in full force come spring.
General Pest Control
Bugs don't stay outside on their own. Our foundation treatment stops over 30 types of crawling insects, from ants and spiders to cockroaches and earwigs, before they cross your threshold. If bugs aren't your only concern, add Rodent Prevention and Termite Monitoring to lock down your home from every angle.
