How Does Yard Guard Work?

Step 1: Stop the breeding cycle

  • Inspect for breeding hot spots—planters, buckets, clogged gutters, birdbaths, tarps, tire swings, low spots, leaf litter, dense shrubs.

  • Treat mosquito breeding water with EPA-approved larvicides (where appropriate).

  • Recommend fixes to reduce standing water and moisture (grading, gutter/downspout, mulch/debris cleanup).

Step 2: Population Reduction

  • Apply professional power mist blower treatments to dense shrubbery, tall grass, tree lines, and under decks and porches.

  • This knocks down adults on contact and leaves a protective barrier that helps prevent reinfestation between visits.

Seasonal Yard Guard schedule: Seven monthly services, April-October.

Fleas, Mosquitoes & Ticks

Ticks here can spread Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis. Yard Guard targets leaf litter, wooded edges, and shaded covers with deep, targeted applications. We plan around local species: black-legged (deer) ticks, American dog ticks, and lone star ticks.

Fleas thrive in shaded, humid pockets—tall grass, mulch beds, leaf litter, and beneath decks. Wildlife (raccoons, opossums, rodents) can seed new populations. Monthly treatments disrupt the life cycle for effective flea control.

We apply larvicides to breeding sites and mist resting areas for rapid mosquito reduction. Ongoing, monthly Yard Guard service helps reduce exposure to mosquito-borne risks, including West Nile, Zika, and dengue. Not to mention your comfort. Take your outdoor space back with PestNow's Yard Guard Program.

Best Pest Control

  • Professionals who know the local landscaping, greenway edges, and drainage patterns

  • IPM approach with EPA-approved products

  • Pollinator-conscious practices (avoid blooms; target resting sites)

  • Fast scheduling, clear pricing, online checkout

  • Option to bundle with other PestNow services

What to expect with Yard Guard

  • Keep kids and pets indoors until treated areas are dry; we'll advise re-entry timing (often 30-60 minutes depending on weather).

  • We schedule around heavy rain; once dry, residues bind to foliage for ongoing effectiveness.

  • We avoid edible plants and blooming flowers; we'll set buffer zones around gardens and pollinator beds.

Best Exterminator Reviews

I recently had the pleasure of working with PestNow to address a wasp issue at my home. Antonio and Jason, the technicians who came over, were the epitome of professionalism and service with a smile. The wasps had made their home in a crack between the cornice and the roof, and Antonio and Jason handled the situation with great care and expertise.

From the moment they arrived, they made sure to wear shoe covers before entering my home, which I greatly appreciated. They took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly identified all the areas that needed to be sprayed. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction were evident throughout the entire process.

Antonio and Jason's friendly demeanor and professionalism made a stressful situation much more manageable. I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and the peace of mind they provided. Thank you, Antonio and Jason, for making me smile and taking care of my concerns!

They took the time to actually understand my issue (black ants in the house) and suggest a solution that was appropriate for the problem and safe for my pets. So far, so good!

- Marilyn J. - Owings Mills, MD

Excellent service, very friendly, gave good service, and great communication. I was very pleased with Billy. I want him back for my services the next quarter.

- Priscilla N. - Owings Mills, MD

Almost 2 hours after my initial review, one of their lovely managers, Derrick, reached out to me and wanted to earn my business back. Derrick explained the products that would be used and the process. He sent out one of his best technicians to treat my home thoroughly today in hopes that this will remediate any activity I have been seeing. It is hard to find businesses in this day and age that appreciate customers to make them feel heard and understand their concerns. Derrick also told me to wait 10 days and let him know directly if my concerns were resolved. So far, I appreciate the professionalism of everyone who has helped with my issue.

- Alexis S. - Owings Mills, MD

Our technician, Billy, was very friendly, professional, and courteous. I have had no issues with my services from Pest Now. I think they are a great company.👍🏽
