Best Flea, Tick, & Mosquito Control in Accokeek
Stop Fleas & Ticks!
Getting eaten alive in your own backyard?
PestNow can reduce fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes fast with their Seasonal Yard Guard Program. These pests are most active when the weather warms up, so to keep your yard comfortable all summer long, PestNow provides monthly services from April through October.
How Yard Guard Works?
1: Stop New Mosquitoes Before They Hatch. First, we find and fix the spots where mosquitoes lay their eggs. These are usually "hidden" damp areas like:
Clogged gutters and birdbaths.
Low spots in the yard or piles of wet leaves.
Old planters, buckets, or tarps that hold water.
We treat any standing water with safe, EPA-approved products that stop mosquito larvae from growing. Our team will also give you a simple list of "quick fixes" for your yard—like cleaning out downspouts—to keep the water moving and the bugs away.
2: Clear Out the Adults. Next, we tackle the mosquitoes that are already flying around.
The Barrier Spray: We use a professional mist blower to treat the places where mosquitoes hide during the day, like tall grass, thick bushes, and under your deck.
Immediate Results: This treatment gets rid of adult mosquitoes on contact. It also leaves a protective shield on your plants that keeps new mosquitoes from moving in.
Take Back Your Backyard
Don't let your backyard become a habitat for dangerous pests. Our Yard Guard Program provides a professional shield against the "Big Three":
Ticks: Local species like Deer, American Dog, and Lone Star ticks spread Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. We target "hot spots" like leaf litter and wooded edges with deep applications to stop them where they hide.
Fleas: Wildlife often drop fleas into tall grass and mulch. Because flea eggs are tough, our monthly treatments are timed to disrupt their life cycle, preventing them from hitching a ride into your home.
Mosquitoes: We use a two-step attack to reduce risks from West Nile and Zika. We apply larvicides to breeding water and mist resting areas to knock down adults on contact.
From April through October, we maintain a consistent barrier around your property. We handle the science and the timing, so you can simply enjoy a healthy, pest-free outdoor space.

Flea, Tick, & Mosquito Questions
Answered
Does mosquito control really work?
Yes. Professional treatments reduce mosquito populations by targeting where they live and breed, not just the bugs you see. Most customers notice a significant reduction within 24-48 hours.
Will the spray kill bees and butterflies?
PestNow uses "pollinator-conscious" practices. This means we avoid spraying blooming flowers where bees gather and instead target the shaded, damp areas where mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks actually live. We also create buffer zones around pollinator gardens to keep the "good bugs" safe.
Does Yard Guard treatment cover all three—mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks?
Yes. While they have different habits, PestNow's Yard Guard program is designed to hit all three.
How do you handle ticks specifically?
Ticks don't fly; they "quest" from tall grass and leaf litter. We perform deep, targeted applications along the wooded edges of your property and in shaded ground cover where ticks thrive. This stops them before they can hitch a ride on you or your pets.
