Mosquito and Tick FAQ’s
Do you treat my whole lawn?
There’s no need to treat the lawn itself. Our treatment is a high-pressure, residual application, applied with 200-gallon hydraulic sprayers, that is concentrated on surrounding brush and vegetation. These are the areas ticks are most likely to traverse. Creating a residual barrier around your lawn is an important strategy in reducing tick activity all over your property.
Do you offer organic options? Are they as effective as the traditional products?
We do offer both organic and environmentally-friendly, low-impact products. All treatment options are effective. The manner in which the products are applied varies depending on the type of product, as well as the intervals between treatments.
During what months should treatments be performed?
Generally in New England, we treat from April through November. This period of time represents the most active time of year for tick and mosquito activity.
How many treatments do you recommend? How frequently are they done?
In most cases, treatments are spaced about 4 weeks apart. That is the length of time that we generally recommend to ensure the product’s residual capabilities remain effective.
Are the treatments still effective if we have inclement weather?
The products used offer residual capabilities, meaning it will stay effective even in inclement weather. Over time, and during periods of heavy rain, the product will begin to break down, which is why we recommend a treatment every four weeks.
Should we be concerned about our fish pond/vegetable gardens?
During our initial property inspection, we note all sensitive areas, such as pools, ponds, gardens, etc. This site report is available to the team that treats your property. Strict guidelines are followed as to the treatment locations and methods.
Should we still use repellents/treat our pets?
You should always refer to the EPA’s website for guidelines on which repellents to use and how to apply them. You should also consult with your veterinarian on how to protect your pets. We find that, in general, many people do continue to use repellents and other forms of EPA-recommended preventative measures.
