Professional Mosquito and Tick Control in Westwood
Westwood is home to Hale Reservation, one of the largest conservation properties in the Boston suburbs, with extensive woods, wetlands, ponds, and walking trails. Buckmaster Pond and other water features add to the moisture that drives mosquito breeding in surrounding neighborhoods. All that protected land is great for the community, but it also creates year-round habitat for mosquitoes, ticks, and the wildlife that carries them. When your backyard borders conservation forest, pest pressure is part of the deal. Mosquito Mike delivers full-service control with seasonal barrier sprays, tick treatments, winter tick defense, and General Pest Control. We carry full Massachusetts licensure (license AL-0056150), and every technician is a credentialed Core Applicator.

Mosquito Control
Buckmaster Pond and the wetlands within Hale Reservation provide large-scale breeding habitat for mosquitoes across Westwood. But the smaller sources on your own property are just as productive. A wheelbarrow holding rainwater, an old tire tucked behind the garage, or a kiddie pool left out for a few days can each generate hundreds of mosquitoes.
They become active once temperatures reach 55°F in spring and stay active until the first hard frost in fall. Our barrier spray targets the spots where mosquitoes rest and breed across your yard, reducing populations by up to 90%.
Tick Control
With extensive conservation land in town, Westwood has significant tick habitat right next to residential properties. Deer are the primary reproductive host for blacklegged ticks, and they move freely between Hale's wooded trails and the yards that border them. A single deer can deposit hundreds of ticks in one pass.
Walking your dog along a trail or sitting near the tree line in your backyard is enough to pick one up. Ticks in Massachusetts carry seven known diseases: Lyme, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Alpha-gal Syndrome, and Powassan virus. Regular treatments keep populations down where it matters most.
Winter Tick Defense
Cold weather stops mosquitoes, but it doesn't stop ticks. Blacklegged tick adults are active nine to ten months of the year, from October through May, anytime temperatures climb above freezing. Westwood's heavily wooded lots and thick leaf cover along conservation borders give ticks all the insulation needed to stay active through winter.
Without treatment during those months, the next generation gets established well before warm weather returns. Our winter tick defense breaks that cycle, targeting overwintering ticks during the months most people forget about them. The result is a cleaner start to spring with fewer ticks waiting in your yard.
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.
