Tick Surge in Michigan: Protect Your Property with Professional Mosquito & Tick Treatments

Michigan is seeing a significant increase in tick activity this year, with health officials reporting a sharp rise in Lyme disease cases—now exceeding 2,000 annually after nearly quadrupling in recent years. Warmer, wetter conditions have contributed to a surge in blacklegged tick populations, particularly across southeastern Michigan.

Ticks are commonly found in wooded areas, tall grass, and dense vegetation, making outdoor exposure a greater risk for both homeowners and families. Because ticks are small and often go unnoticed, prevention is key to reducing the risk of bites and potential illness.

How Northern Pest Can Help Reduce Mosquitoes and Ticks

Starting treatments early and maintaining regular applications throughout the summer is key to controlling mosquito and tick populations. Northern Pest uses a fine mist application to treat underbrush, foliage, grass, and low-lying trees, targeting areas where these pests live and breed. The treatment eliminates active pests and helps prevent new ones from settling in.

The applied solution is diluted for safety, allowing your yard to be used again once it dries, typically within 20 minutes. For added mosquito control, standing water sources such as ponds are treated with larvicide to stop mosquitoes before they hatch.

Combined with simple prevention steps—such as removing standing water and keeping grass trimmed—consistent treatment provides effective, season-long protection by reducing active populations around your property and minimizing exposure. Schedule a mosquito and tick treatment with Northern Pest to keep your outdoor spaces comfortable and protected.

If you’re noticing increased pest activity or want to stay ahead of the season, schedule a mosquito and tick treatment with Northern Pest to protect your outdoor spaces.
