TICK + MOSQUITO PROGRAM
Ticks pose serious health risks to humans and pets due to their ability to transmit diseases. Some of the primary dangers including Lyme Disease
Our Tick and Mosquito program includes three seasonal treatments to effectively reduce tick and mosquito populations. Each application is strategically timed to target active life stages and provide continuous protection.
- Application 1 (Spring): Eliminates overwintering ticks and early-emerging mosquitoes, preventing population growth.
- Application 2 (Summer): Targets peak mosquito and tick activity, ensuring a protective barrier.
- Application 3 (Late Summer/Early Fall): Controls late-season pests and prevents ticks from overwintering.
Treatments will be applied to lawns, wooded edges, and other high-risk areas.

Brown Tail Moth Caterpillar
The browntail moth is an invasive species that is a significant pest in parts of the Northeastern United States, particularly in Maine and coastal New England. It causes damage to trees and poses a significant health risk due to its toxic hairs.
Health Risks
- Toxic Hairs: Caterpillars have tiny barbed hairs that cause rashes (similar to poison ivy) and respiratory issues if inhaled.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Hairs remain in the environment and can cause long-term reactions.
- Symptoms: Itchy rash, welts, respiratory distress (especially for those with asthma or allergies).
Tree Damage
- Feeds on oak, apple, birch, cherry, and other hardwood trees.
- Severe infestations can lead to defoliation, weakening trees and making them more vulnerable to disease.
Browntail Moth Tree Injection Treatment
Tree injections are an effective method for controlling browntail moth caterpillars while minimizing environmental impact. This approach delivers insecticide directly into the tree’s vascular system, protecting foliage from caterpillar feeding without affecting pollinators like bees.
Benefits of Tree Injections
- Long-lasting Protection – Provides up to 2 years of control.
- Environmentally Friendly – Reduces spray drift and exposure to non-target insects.
- Effective Against Browntail Moth – Stops caterpillars before they can cause significant defoliation.
- Ideal for Sensitive Areas – Useful near water bodies or residential areas where spraying is restricted.
Browntail Moth Tree Spraying
Tree spraying is an effective method for controlling browntail moth caterpillars, especially in spring when they are actively feeding.
Benefits of Browntail Moth Tree Spraying
- Effective Control – Tree spraying provides rapid and reliable eradication of browntail moth caterpillars, protecting trees from defoliation. Targeted Treatment – Spraying directly treats the affected areas (the tree canopy and leaves) minimizing the use of chemicals and protecting surrounding vegetation.
- Long-Lasting Protection – The insecticide provides several weeks of protection, helping control caterpillar populations throughout their active feeding period.
- Prevent Future Damage – By addressing the infestation early, spraying prevents extensive damage, allowing trees to remain healthy and less vulnerable to diseases and other pests.
- Minimal Environmental Impact – Professional applicators use precise techniques that limit exposure to non-target organisms like bees and beneficial insects, ensuring a more eco-friendly solution.
Browntail Moth Caterpillar Tree Pruning
Pruning is an effective method for managing browntail moth caterpillars, especially during the winter months when the caterpillars are in their overwintering nests.
Benefits of Pruning
- Reduces Caterpillar Populations: Pruning eliminates overwintering nests, preventing the caterpillars from emerging and feeding on tree leaves in spring.
- Prevents Tree Damage: Early intervention helps reduce defoliation and keeps trees healthy.
- Minimizes Environmental Impact: Since pruning involves no chemicals, it's an eco-friendly and non-toxic solution.
