What and where we spray

At Upstate Bug Busters, we believe effective tick and mosquito control starts with thorough coverage of the areas where these pests live, breed, and hide. Our 100% all-natural treatment is applied using a high-pressure, high-volume system that allows us to treat key areas across your property to create a protective barrier around your home and outdoor spaces.

Ticks and mosquitoes often travel through grass and shaded lawn areas, especially where the lawn meets wooded areas or landscaping. We treat the lawn to reduce tick activity and prevent mosquitoes from resting in cool, damp grass during the day. This helps protect the spaces where families, pets, and children spend the most time.

Dense landscaping provides the perfect hiding spots for ticks and mosquitoes. We thoroughly spray all plants, bushes, and shrubs on your property because mosquitoes frequently rest on vegetation during the daytime to stay cool and avoid wind. Treating these areas helps eliminate pests where they spend most of their time between feeding.

Mulch beds are one of the most common tick habitats on residential properties. Ticks thrive in moist, shaded environments created by mulch and decorative landscaping. By treating mulch beds around your home, we target areas where ticks often wait for animals or people to pass by.

Ticks and other insects commonly hide in retaining walls, stone landscaping, and rock features where moisture and shade are present. These areas create small protected crevices where pests can survive. Our treatment reaches into these spaces to eliminate hiding spots and reduce tick populations.

Trees play an important role in tick and mosquito activity around your property. We spray up and down tree trunks because ticks frequently climb vegetation while searching for hosts. Treating tree trunks helps interrupt this behavior and reduce the chances of ticks spreading throughout your yard.

Mosquitoes spend much of the day resting on the underside of leaves, where they are protected from sunlight and wind. Our treatment specifically targets the bottom of leaves on plants and trees, which is one of the most effective ways to disrupt mosquito resting areas and reduce their population.

We spray lower tree branches and foliage because mosquitoes use these shaded areas as daytime shelter. Treating these areas helps prevent mosquitoes from building populations close to outdoor living spaces like patios, decks, and pools.

Many ticks originate from wooded areas surrounding residential properties. That’s why we treat 15–20 feet into the wooded areas around your home, creating a protective buffer zone. This helps stop ticks before they migrate from the woods into your lawn and yard.

By treating lawns, landscaping, trees, mulch beds, wooded edges, and other key areas, Upstate Bug Busters creates a comprehensive protective barrier that targets ticks and mosquitoes where they live and breed.

Our treatments are 100% all-natural, pet-friendly, family-safe, and eco-friendly, so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces with peace of mind.
