Lexington summers are hot and humid. Mosquitoes use small containers, clogged gutters, toy buckets, plant saucers, and low spots that hold water for days.
Ticks use the edge where a lawn meets taller grass, brush, or a wooded fence line. A treatment that ignores those places is spraying a symptom.
Emptying water you can reach is something you can do before anyone arrives, and it remains part of the plan after a visit.
What reduction means
Adult mosquitoes fly in from beyond a property line. A service visit can reduce mosquitoes resting in shrubs and can target breeding you control.
It cannot promise that a backyard cookout will have no bites, especially after rain or near a neighbor's untended water.
Ticks are reduced by treating the habitat where they wait, not by fogging the open lawn and calling the woods finished. Say if deer, dogs, or a brush line are part of the property.
Say if you want only an inspection of standing water and no application.
Season and limits
The useful season is the warm months, with extra pressure after wet weeks. A winter contract for mosquitoes is not a serious description of Lexington weather.
Children, pets, and vegetable beds need to be discussed before any application, and re-entry follows the label for the method used. This page does not call the work chemical-free or pet-safe as a blanket.
It also does not give a mixing rate or a claim about disease prevention. Public-health guidance on mosquitoes and ticks is about habitat and personal protection.
A pest visit is one piece of that, not a medical program.
If the complaint is wasps under an eave rather than mosquitoes in the yard, use the wasp page. If the complaint is fleas on a pet bed, use the flea page.
Where mosquitoes show up near Tates Creek corridor
Mosquitoes and ticks use tall grass, wooded edges and standing water, especially around the creek valleys and farm properties of Fayette County.
Weather sets the pace. Lexington has four distinct seasons with cold winters, warm humid summers and a long spring, so pests move indoors in fall and surge again as the ground warms.
