Tick and Mosquito Combo Program
When it comes to pests like ticks and mosquitoes on your property, you need to call in the pros. With rising concerns for diseases carried by ticks and mosquitoes such as Lyme Disease, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), West Nile Virus, and Zika, when you work with the experts at Ford’s Hometown Services, you can be confident that you are doing your part to protect your family!
At FHS, our state-licensed and trained technicians will focus on areas of harborage and breeding sites, such as trees, shrubs, ground cover, planting beds, and standing water*. We offer both traditional and organic spray options; however, the traditional option will yield a much better result and includes our “Satisfaction Guarantee.” Both traditional and organic applications take place about every 2-4 weeks, depending on the weather. Service applications take place between April and October.
Get the Best Coverage and the Best Protection
We’re proud to provide the best coverage and protection. Unlike other companies using simple backpack misters, FHS uses $10,000 truck-mounted tree spraying equipment for far superior coverage. Once the spray has dried, you are free to go out and enjoy your property again! The average drying time is only about 20 – 30 minutes!
Also, FHS uses state of the art “Rain Guard Protection” so your applications are never lost to sudden rain or irrigation.
