Celebrate independence from mosquitoes this 4th of July! Here are a few tips to help you do less swatting and more celebrating this 4th of July. Burgess Pest Management is New England's #1 choice for backyard mosquito control. 
- A treatment for ticks and mosquitoes from Burgess Pest has a long lasting residual. But try to time your treatments close to your outdoor event to maximize the effectiveness, before rain or other elements breaks down the product.
- Mosquito-repellent really does work! But check the label for the expiration date, and feel free to cross-reference your product with the EPA, which maintains a list of recommended products. DEET is the active ingredient known to repel both mosquitoes and ticks, and you'll find more information on its safety and use right here on the EPA's website.
- Prior to hosting your outdoor event, do a yard check! Remove piles of debris, eliminate standing water (in bird baths, puddles, and gutters especially), and you'll be taking a big step in eliminating nearby mosquito breeding grounds.
