Early Spring

Our solution effectively dissolves insect eggs and larvae, preventing re-infestation. Meanwhile, its aroma creates an invisible barrier to repel ticks – making the treated area off-limits to pests.

Late Spring

Our technicians will apply a solution that dissolve insect eggs and larvae on contact, stopping future generations from growing. The aroma creates an invisible boundary ensuring the area stays off limits for ticks, fleas and other pests.

Summer

Late Summer

Our team will return to ensure maximum defense against ticks and insects with a unique blend of ingredients. This solution works by dissolving insect eggs and larvae to eliminate future generations while leaving behind an aromatic barrier that keeps pests away.

Fall

We will take one last action to ensure total protection from ticks and other pests — a powerful application of tick control. By dispersing this unique formula across the treatment area, we will eradicate any current insect eggs or larvae and also help safeguard against future intruders.

Tick Facts

The deer tick, a tiny creature the size of a sesame seed, has been linked to the spreading of Lyme and other diseases among humans. This small organism is dangerous for us and chooses larger animals as its primary targets, such as deer, cats or even dogs! But that’s not all — American dog ticks have spread Rocky Mountain spotted fever occasionally and are equally harmful to warm-blooded creatures, including ourselves.

Nearly 90% of all Lyme Disease cases have been reported in the northeastern part of the United States. Roughly 70% of people who develop Lyme Disease in North America catch it from ticks in their yards.

Powassan disease was discovered over 50 years ago. While still rare, there has been an increase in the number of ticks found to carry the virus, as well as in reported cases in our area. Powassan is spread by the same deer tick that transmits Lyme Disease. While comparisons are often drawn between Powassan and Lyme, the two conditions differ. Lyme is a bacterial illness, usually treated with antibiotics, while Powassan is a flavivirus with no current cure.

How To Protect Your Outdoor Space From Ticks

Preventive action against ticks is the best way to avoid infection. Keep an eye out in shady areas and near woods, as they commonly linger among low bushes, tips of grass blades, leaf litter piles or decorative ground covers.
