Lawn & garden pest control

Mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, mites, and burrowing voles can make a good yard unusable. Targeted outdoor treatments give you back your patio, garden, and lawn — for the whole season.

Reclaim the Yard

Your outdoor space, minus the pests

Your yard should be a place to relax and have people over — not a breeding ground. Outdoor pests do more than irritate: mosquitoes can spread viruses, ticks may transmit Lyme disease, and voles and gophers tunnel through lawns, plant roots, and irrigation lines.

Our lawn and garden programs use targeted treatments that knock pest populations down while protecting the health of your landscape. We focus on the breeding areas and activity zones around your property — not blanket spraying — so the yard stays usable and the treatment actually lasts.

What we control outdoors

  • Mosquitoes — barrier treatments plus larvicide where appropriate
  • Ticks — woodlines, tall grass, fence lines, pet paths
  • Fleas — yard and home together, to break the life cycle
  • Mites — clover mites, chiggers, and bird mites at the siding
  • Voles & gophers — targeted trapping and baiting

How It Works

Treatments aimed at where pests actually live

Mosquito control

Around here, mosquitoes work the Spokane River corridor, the lakes, and irrigated landscaping across our service area all summer. Your technician inspects for the breeding conditions on your property — standing water in gutters and containers, shaded vegetation, moist ground near decks and patios — then applies professional barrier treatments around them. Combined with larvicide where appropriate, that stops new breeding cycles instead of just chasing adult mosquitoes.

Tick control

Ticks wait in tall grass, brush, and woodline edges from spring through early summer — exactly where kids and dogs go. Treatments run along woodlines, fence lines, dense landscaping, and the routes your pets actually travel, creating a treated border that cuts tick populations and the exposure risk that comes with them.


Fleas and mites

Fleas usually arrive on pets or wildlife and then spread indoors fast. We treat the outdoor areas where pets spend time — dog runs, shaded soil, ground near decks — alongside the home itself, so eggs and larvae never become the next infestation. Mites like clover mites, chiggers, and bird mites mass along siding, window frames, and lawn edges; a barrier at those surfaces keeps them outside where they belong.

Voles and gophers

When the snow melts each spring, vole runways show up carved across lawns — raised tunnels, dead patches of grass, mounds in the beds. These burrowers feed on roots and chew through irrigation lines, and the damage compounds the longer they work. Our control programs use targeted trapping and baiting to bring populations down before your landscaping pays the bill.

Why Professional

Store-bought sprays fade. Programs hold.

Outdoor pest populations rebuild quickly, which is why one-off spraying rarely sticks. During the active season, mosquito and tick treatments are typically reapplied every 3 to 4 weeks to keep protection consistent — and every visit is a chance to catch new activity early.

  • Targeted treatments matched to the specific pest
  • Breeding areas identified and treated, not just symptoms
  • Longer-lasting professional products
  • A treatment plan customized to your property
  • Ongoing monitoring so problems don't quietly rebuild

FAQs

Lawn & garden pest control questions

How often are lawn and garden treatments applied?

Mosquito and tick treatments are typically applied every 3 to 4 weeks during the active season to keep protection consistent. Other outdoor services are scheduled around the pest's activity — your technician will recommend the right interval for your property.

Are outdoor treatments safe for pets?

Our licensed technicians apply every product according to its label and tell you exactly when pets can return to treated areas. Most treatments dry quickly, and your technician will give you any re-entry window before they leave.

Will mosquito treatments eliminate every mosquito?

No treatment can remove every mosquito from an outdoor space, and we won't pretend otherwise. What professional barrier and larvicide treatments do is dramatically reduce the population — the difference between an unusable yard and a comfortable one.
