Flea, Tick & Mosquito Control in Maryland & Northern Virginia

dad-clubhouse

 

Our long warm season in Maryland and Virginia provides the perfect breeding conditions for Mosquitoes, fleas and ticks throughout the spring, summer, and fall. To help protect your family from these pesky and dangerous insects, our Associate Certified Entomologist on staff developed our signature Mosquito, Flea, and Tick Protection Plan. So if you need a professional mosquito and tick service in Maryland, give us a call today.

Along with repelling and exterminating existing pest populations to provide immediate relief, our program targets reproductive habitats, providing both short and long-term protection.

Moisture Retention Program

This photo shows the very first test of the Moisture Retention Program on turfgrass. The entire lawn was as green and healthy looking as the center section prior to a six week drought. 

Our team of local mosquito exterminators will provide a free initial inspection, followed by 7 treatments throughout April and November that use eco-friendly and EPA-certified.

One Month

The difference after just one month and one application!

One Week After Planting

The begonias on the left were treated one week after planting. Both were watered at the time of application. The flowers on the right have been watered to keep them alive. The only water the treated plants received was rainwater. No fertilizer was applied to either side.

Two Days With No Water

After two days without water and over 100 degrees, the plant on the left declined severely in comparison to the treated Lantana.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

Real Stories. Real Results. Trusted Pest Protection You Can Count On.

Joe Amato
"Great Job Guys!!"

A long time customer of Blades of Green Lawn care, Great company very organized and well run. In addition to the great lawn service I have enjoyed over the years, I was contacted by the B.O.G. automated service alerting me of the arrival of the ZIKA mosquitos. I followed their advice and had both of my properties treated! Since the treatment I no longer have to fear getting a little head, or whatever this ZIKA thing causes.

I have used Blades of Green for almost ten years and my lawn is beautiful! They follow a good business model in that they always call ahead to let me know they are coming, and they give me a full report afterwards. Whenever there are any specific problems or issues with particular weeds or trouble spots, I get an immediate response. They are excellent technicians and always a pleasure to work with.
