It’s Time for Spring Mosquito & Tick Control To Protect Your Yard, Family, and Pets with Dan Can Home Services
As spring approaches in New Jersey, so does the return of mosquitoes and ticks. While it might still be chilly, warmer days are just around the corner—and once average temperatures rise above 55 degrees, mosquito and tick activity increases rapidly. That means now is the time to prepare your yard or property for the season ahead.
At Dan Can Home Services, we offer environmentally conscious and highly effective mosquito control and tick control solutions for homeowners and businesses throughout New Jersey, including Ocean, Monmouth, Burlington, and Mercer Counties.

Why Mosquito & Tick Control Matters
Mosquitoes and ticks are more than just annoying. They are known carriers of diseases that can impact both humans and pets. Mosquitoes can transmit West Nile virus, Eastern equine encephalitis, and Zika virus, while ticks are known for spreading Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that tick- and mosquito-borne illnesses are on the rise, especially in the northeastern U.S., making prevention more important than ever.
It’s Not Just About Spraying—It’s About Smarter Pest Control
Dan Latini, owner of Dan Can Home Services, aka “Dan the Bug Man”, takes a science-first, environmentally aware approach to mosquito and tick control. Unlike many large pest control companies that rely on one-size-fits-all spray methods, Dan uses Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to minimize harm to the environment, especially pollinators.
Here’s what sets Dan’s service apart:
- Trained & Licensed Expertise: Dan knows that pest control isn’t about just spraying chemicals. It’s about knowing how pests behave, where they breed, and how to disrupt their life cycle. He inspects every property for key signs of mosquito and tick activity and customizes his approach accordingly.
- Use of Proper Equipment: Dan uses two different pieces of equipment—a mosquito mister designed specifically for mosquito and tick control and a backpack sprayer for general pest control. These are never cross-used to avoid harmful transference of chemicals that could affect pollinators.
- Eco-Conscious Treatments: Dan is honest about what pest control products can and can’t do. While some treatments can be harmful to bees and butterflies if misapplied, he prioritizes safe application practices, uses natural alternatives when possible, and avoids treating flowering plants that attract pollinators.
- Family-Friendly & Pet-Safe Solutions: As a father and homeowner himself, Dan only uses products and methods that he would feel comfortable using around his own family.
What You Can Do Between Treatments
In addition to professional treatments, Dan Can Home Services helps clients take a proactive approach to mosquito and tick prevention. Here are a few things you can do right now:
Eliminate standing water: Dump water from toys, buckets, planter pots, trash can lids, and any containers that can collect rainwater. These are prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Clean up leaves and debris: Ticks thrive in damp, shady environments like leaf piles and tall grasses.
Keep grass trimmed and landscaping maintained: Overgrown vegetation provides the perfect hiding spots for ticks.
Seal entry points: For overall pest prevention, check that crawlspace vents and utility penetrations are properly sealed to prevent rodents and insects from entering.
