Memorial weekend in Portsmouth, Hampton, and inland Exeter style towns often means chairs on the deck, kids on the lawn, and the same wood line you never trimmed in April. Mosquito Pros NH has served southern and central New Hampshire since 2010. This checklist supports the barrier and edge work we describe on mosquito control and tick control without replacing a site visit.
Empty what holds rain before guests arrive
Walk with a bucket after the next shower. Tip plant saucers, wheelbarrows, and tarps that cup water. Peek at gutters if you can do so safely from a ladder you already trust. Those chores pair with any larvicide conversation your technician raises because they remove easy breeding sites that return in days.
Name the deck corners where air goes still
Guests cluster under roof lines and beside tall planters. Note those corners when you use contact so barrier work matches real human time. Still air matters for mosquitoes more than for ticks, yet both pests can sit near the same architecture when shade and moisture stack.
Walk the lawn to woods edge with honest eyes
Rake leaves back from the play line, move brush piles slightly away from paths, and watch where dogs cut through tall grass. Those habits support tick control plans that treat grassy areas inside the perimeter. Mention engorged ticks on pets early this season when you call 603 778 1471.
Tell us about events that change timing
If you host a crowd Saturday evening, read events and share arrival time so drying windows stay realistic. Our public materials already describe horn on arrival, treating accessible yards whether you are home or not, and door hangers when work completes.
Confirm your town before you assume drive time
Open service areas for Rockingham, Hillsborough, Merrimack, Strafford, Belknap, Carroll, and Grafton coverage from Exeter and Gilford offices. Directions live on Exeter and Gilford pages.
Closing
May guest weeks reward clear notes about water, shade, and edges. Mosquito Pros NH prefers that detail over a perfect paragraph copied online. Send photos through contact when you are ready.
