Not every yard in Bedford, Hampton, or Merrimack needs the exact same plan. Mosquito Pros NH aligns visits with how mosquitoes and ticks actually use your property: mosquitoes pushing toward decks and shady pockets at dusk, ticks questing from grass blades along edges and play areas. Our Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Peak programs on the home page all come from that same idea.
This quiz is a conversation starter, not a contract. Grab a scrap of paper, note A, B, or C for each question, then jump to the result that matches your pattern at the end.
Question 1: What is the loudest problem when you step outside?
A. Dusk and evening on the patio or deck turn into swatting and itching before the burgers are even off the grill.
B. You worry more about ticks in the lawn, along the wood line, or where the dog rolls after a walk.
C. Both mosquitoes and ticks feel like regular guests; you are tired of guessing which one ruined last weekend.
Question 2: Where does your family actually live in the yard?
A. Mostly hardscape and gathering spots: fire pit, pool deck, play structure pads, screened porch.
B. Kids, pets, or you spend a lot of time in grass, garden paths, or the transition strip between mowed lawn and taller growth.
C. You use the whole property evenly, from open turf to shaded corners.
Question 3: How do you want the season to feel?
A. You want steady, season-long backup so you are not renegotiating the calendar every time the forecast flips.
B. You mainly need dependable comfort from Memorial Day through Labor Day and like the idea of a focused, budget-friendly rhythm.
C. You are not sure yet; you just know last year was not acceptable and you want a technician to help you choose after seeing the lay of the land.
Question 4: Standing water and breeding clues
A. You notice birdbaths, clogged gutters, or low spots that hold water after rain, and mosquitoes seem to find them.
B. Puddles are rare; your bigger fear is tall grass, leaf litter, or brush where ticks can wait.
C. You have a mix of sunny lawn, shaded beds, and at least a few spots that stay damp longer than you would like.
Question 5: Events, guests, or everyday peace?
A. You host gatherings, fundraisers, or big family weekends and want the yard to behave when the crowd shows up.
B. Day to day peace matters most; guests are occasional.
C. A little of both: you want ordinary Tuesdays calm and the graduation party to feel the same.
How to read your answers
Look at questions 1 and 2 first. Count how many times you chose A, B, or C. Then read the section below that fits best. Use question 3 to fine tune between full season and Peak, and glance at questions 4 and 5 for extra context.
Mostly As: mosquitoes are driving the bus
Your answers point toward evening biting pressure around the places people gather. That is exactly where our technicians focus Mosquito Blend barrier work: perimeter, hot spots like play sets and pools, and the routes you use every night.
Gold gives you a full seasonal mosquito program with the perimeter-and-hot-spot method described on our site. If you still have grassy tick exposure for kids or pets, compare Gold with Platinum so tick zones stay on the same schedule as mosquito visits.
If question 3 was B, read the Peak paragraph below—you may want affordable coverage during the busiest biting months with the Mosquito Free Guarantee outlined in our Peak program description.
Mostly Bs: ticks on the lawn are the worry
Ticks quest from grass and edges; our Silver program applies the tick-focused barrier around the perimeter and through grassy areas inside it, with residual planning that matches roughly a six-week treatment rhythm like we describe for tick customers.
If someone in the home also gets chewed up on the deck at night, jump up to Platinum so mosquito and tick protocols stay paired all season.
Mostly Cs or a split between A and B: full-property peace
When mosquitoes and ticks both feel like part of the furniture, Platinum is usually the cleanest match. You get the combined seasonal plan: mosquito coverage on perimeters and gathering zones plus tick treatment through grassy areas, which mirrors how we talk about Platinum on the home page.
If question 3 was B: Peak summer focus
Peak is built for families who need solid protection during the most active stretch of summer, with visits roughly every seventeen to twenty-four days from Memorial Day to Labor Day, as we advertise for that program. Pair it with honest talk about tick risk: if ticks are still a major theme in your answers, ask us whether Peak alone is enough or whether stepping to Platinum is smarter for your lot.
If questions 5 pointed toward events
When A or C showed up on question 5, skim our events page for timing ideas and share your guest schedule when you contact us. Barrier work needs dry time before chairs and dance floors land on the turf.
What every result shares
Licensed, insured technicians, horn honk on arrival, door hanger when the visit is done, and the option to stay home while we treat as long as the property is accessible—the same promises we list in our FAQs. Products are synthetic pyrethroids, the class we describe publicly, applied with backpack precision rather than guessing from the sidewalk.
