Call 877-737-8755 today or
click here to schedule an appointment for a free Pest Susceptibility Evaluation. Learn how to reduce populations through environmental modifications. |
|
| A Freedom Pest technician will come to your home and do a pest susceptibility evaluation. The purpose of the evaluation will consist of identifying potential breeding sites for mosquitoes and develop a green zone that will keep mosquitoes and ticks at bay. Any items that can hold water can breed mosquitoes including gutters, traps and many other items our technicians will discuss with you. |
|
| Over the last few years we have seen an increase in Lyme disease (see map below) from ticks, Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus (EEEV) (see map below) and West Nile virus (WNV) (see map below) from mosquitoes so the management of mosquito and tick populations is of high concern to many of our customers. Freedom Pest Control offers a variety of ways to manage mosquitoes and ticks including on-going programs and both conventional and natural products. |
|
| Freedom's approach to treating mosquitoes and ticks is to treat high impact areas where these insects are resting, questing or staying cool. Pesticides will not completely eliminate the pest population on treated property, but will dramatically reduce the numbers. These products are applied to wood lines, lawns, and ornamental plants as needed and are effective in mosquito and tick treatment. Effective mosquito control requires treatments every 3-4 weeks. |
|
| We strive to be an industry leader in new pest control treatments and technologies. While some companies don't change over time, Freedom Pest Control is constantly researching new state of the art treatments. We customize our treatment for your home or business. |

| Lyme Disease |
|
| According to the CDC - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention*, Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (e.g., rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks; laboratory testing is helpful if used correctly and performed with validated methods. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics. Steps to prevent Lyme disease include using insect repellent, removing ticks promptly, applying pesticides, and reducing tick habitat. The ticks that transmit Lyme disease can occasionally transmit other tickborne diseases as well. |

 |
|
| As noted by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station's Tick Management Handbook** referenced by the CDC -- Lyme disease can be a preventable disease! |
|
| Surveys have consistently shown most residents in Lyme disease endemic areas consider the disease an important or very important issue that poses a high risk to members of their family. A few precautions and the management of infected ticks in the residential or recreational landscape can substantially reduce the risk of Lyme disease and other tick-associated illnesses. Prompt recognition of infection and treatment can prevent more serious manifestations of disease. While education is important to preventing or mitigating disease, landscape and host management practices combined with the judicious use of acaricides can provide excellent tick control with minimal risk or impact to the environment. |

| Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus (EEEV) |
|
| Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV)*** is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Human EEEV cases occur relatively infrequently, largely because the primary transmission cycle takes place in and around swampy areas where human populations tend to be limited. All residents of and visitors to areas where EEEV activity has been identified are at risk of infection. |
|
 |
|
| West Nile Virus (WVN) |
|
| Since 1999, more than 30,000**** people in the United States have been reported as getting sick with West Nile virus (WNV). Infected mosquitoes spread West Nile virus (WNV) that can cause serious, life altering disease. Experts believe West Nile virus (WNV) is established as a seasonal epidemic in North America that flares up in the summer and continues into the fall. |
