Fox Chapel's Wooded Beauty Has a Bite to It
The mature trees, dense foliage, and stream corridors that make Fox Chapel one of Pennsylvania's most sought-after communities also make it one of the region's most favorable environments for mosquitoes and ticks. Properties that back up to wooded hillsides, creeks, or natural areas are especially vulnerable. Mosquitoes need as little as a bottle cap of standing water to breed — and after a Pennsylvania summer rainstorm, there's no shortage of that. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania consistently ranks among the top states for Lyme disease cases, and deer ticks thrive in exactly the kind of brushy, wooded edges that border Fox Chapel backyards.
Professional Mosquito Control That Actually Works
Bug spray is a band-aid. Our program targets mosquitoes at the source — eliminating existing populations and creating a barrier that keeps new ones from taking over your yard throughout the season.
Free Property Inspection
One of our trained technicians walks your property to identify breeding sites, resting areas, and high-risk zones specific to your yard's layout.
Targeted Treatment
We apply effective treatments to the areas mosquitoes actually live — shrubs, leaf litter, shaded vegetation, and standing water zones — not a blanket spray approach.
Recurring Protection
Mosquitoes don't take the summer off and neither do we. Recurring treatments throughout peak season (June through August) keep populations down all season long.
Tailored Guidance
We'll walk you through simple property adjustments — like clearing gutters and addressing drainage — that make every treatment work harder and last longer.

Fleas & Ticks: The Threat You Don't See Until It's Too Late
Mosquitoes are the obvious problem, but in a community like Fox Chapel — with wooded backyards, deer corridors, and properties backing up to natural areas — ticks are an equally serious concern. The blacklegged deer tick, which spreads Lyme disease, thrives in exactly the kind of edge habitat where manicured lawns meet wooded hillsides.
Our treatments cover fleas and ticks as part of your protection program. That means your kids can play in the yard, your dogs can roam, and you don't have to spend every evening doing tick checks.
The Fox Chapel Area School District has even published tick safety guidance for students — a sign of just how present this risk is in the community. Don't leave it to chance.
