Questions people ask before booking
The lake feeds them. Midge and mayfly hatches come off the water and pile up at your windows and lights, and orb weavers set up where the food is. Our treatments and de-webbing make a visible difference within days. As long as the lake keeps serving dinner, though, this is seasonal maintenance, not a one-time fix.
It can be, which is why we take deck colonies seriously. They expand toward moisture, and a deck ledger bolted to the house is a highway. We treat the colony and trace any trails toward the structure. The caveat: if the wet wood stays wet, a new colony will eventually find it, so plan the repair too.
On wooded Minnetonka lots, yes. Adult deer ticks stay active any day above freezing, so fall is genuinely risky, not just spring. A fall edge treatment helps, but a warm November week will bring stragglers out regardless. Keep the dog’s prevention going through hard freeze.
