What areas of the yard do you focus on?
We focus on shaded edges, wooded borders, fence lines, brush, leaf litter, dense landscaping, foundation beds, under decks, play areas, pet paths, pool areas, patios, damp pockets, and standing water risks where mosquitoes and ticks are more likely to live, rest, breed, or travel.

When standing water is present on-site, Bite Back treats it during service to help reduce mosquito breeding between visits. Homeowners should also remove containers, clogged drainage, unused items, or low spots that hold water when possible.
