Why Huguenot Yards Can Have Mosquito & Tick Pressure
Huguenot is a predominantly residential South Shore area where mature yards, shaded borders and wildlife movement can create recurring mosquito and tick hot spots.
Residential yards with foundation beds, fences, patios, pools, play areas and mature landscaping can create many shaded resting zones. Wooded pockets, mature trees and shaded property borders can hold moisture and create protected habitat around the edges of the usable yard. Where deer and other wildlife move between green spaces and residential streets, perimeter management becomes an important part of a tick-control plan.
