Tick control for East End lawns and perimeters

Ticks are the East End's most pressing outdoor concern. Our programs focus on where ticks actually live — lawn edges, stone walls, hedgerows, leaf litter and wooded borders — to reduce populations around the areas your family uses most. We offer family- and pet-conscious treatment options and talk through every choice with you.

What we treat

• Blacklegged (deer) ticks
• Lone star ticks
• American dog ticks
• Lawn edges & wooded borders
• Stone walls & hedgerows
• Play areas & paths

How it works

1. 1

   Property walk

   We identify habitat zones — wood lines, ornamental beds, wildlife paths — and note where people and pets spend time.

2. 2

   Targeted perimeter treatment

   Applications focus on transition zones rather than blanketing the whole property.

3. 3

   Scheduled follow-ups

   Treatments are timed to the tick life cycle through spring, summer and fall.

4. 4

   Habitat tips

   We share simple landscape adjustments that make your yard less hospitable to ticks.

Perimeter treatments

Yard habitat reduction tips

• Keep grass mowed short, especially at lawn edges
• Rake and remove leaf litter from beds and borders
• Lay a 3-foot wood-chip or gravel strip between lawn and woods
• Stack firewood neatly, off the ground and away from the house
• Move play sets and seating away from wood lines into sun
• Discourage deer and rodents, which carry ticks onto the property

Family- & pet-conscious options

We offer family- and pet-conscious treatment options, including botanical-based products for clients who prefer them. We'll explain what each product is, where it goes, and how long to keep children and pets off treated areas. We don't make safety guarantees — we give you clear information so you can choose.

Event treatments for parties & weddings

Hosting a garden party, graduation or wedding? We schedule a tick and mosquito treatment a day or two ahead of your event, focusing on lawn edges, tented areas and paths guests will use.
