The storm is over. The toys are not empty.
A New Hampshire thunderstorm leaves the lawn looking fine by the next afternoon. The wagon, the kiddie pool, the boat tarp, and the wheelbarrow still hold water. That is the hatch. Treating vegetation on the usual route day while those containers sit is how Exeter and Gilford yards feel "worse after the rain" even though the last visit happened. Mosquito Pros NH wants the post-storm walk to include toys and tarps, not only the shrub line.
Photograph what still holds water 48 hours later. Campton lake lots and Seacoast yards share storms. They do not share your tarp fold.
Source reduction is owner work we will name
We can treat resting adults. We cannot invent empty containers. Dump, flip, or store. Pull tarps tight so water runs off. If a sandbox or a cover cannot be emptied before a guest weekend, say so. That becomes a timing note, not a silent failure.
Gutters and a low bowl in the lawn are related files. Toys are the one people skip because they look temporary. They are not temporary to a mosquito.
Do not merge ticks and a tarp story
Tick control is vegetation and path. Mosquito control after a storm is water plus adults. If you want both, we still write two maps. Call 603-778-1471 or use contact with town and a photo of what still holds water.
Closeout lists the containers
What you emptied, what still holds, and when we should recheck after the next cell. Next storm we compare that list instead of assuming the last barrier should have survived the wagon.
