Mosquito Control
West Nile Virus was detected in Johnston during 2025, a reminder that mosquito-borne disease isn't limited to rural or coastal areas. Between the wetlands near Moswansicut Lake, stormwater runoff in established neighborhoods, and everyday sources most people miss, Johnston properties produce mosquitoes all season long.
A clogged gutter, a forgotten bucket, a dog bowl left out, or any container holding standing water becomes a breeding site within days. Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk but will bite in shaded yards throughout the day. Our barrier spray reduces mosquito activity by up to 90%, applied every 2-3 weeks.
Tick Control
Snake Den State Park and the wooded land along Johnston's western edge are home to deer, rabbits, and other wildlife that carry ticks directly into surrounding neighborhoods. You don't need to walk through the park to be exposed. Ticks travel on animals that cross your property at night, and once deposited, they wait in leaf litter, garden beds, and along fence lines for their next host.
Three tick species are active in Johnston: blacklegged ticks, Lone Star Ticks, and American Dog Ticks. Between them, they carry Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Alpha-gal Syndrome, and Powassan virus.
Winter Tick Defense
Ticks don't follow the same calendar as mosquitoes. Adult blacklegged ticks are most active from October through May, feeding any day temperatures climb above freezing. Johnston's wooded western edge and the leaf-covered yards throughout town provide enough shelter for ticks to remain active through mild stretches all winter.
A single female can lay up to 2,000 eggs. Without treatment, they establish the next generation before spring even starts.
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.
