Lyme Disease Infected Tick Insect Isolated on White. Encephalitis Virus or Lyme Borreliosis Disease Infectious Dermacentor Tick Arachnid Parasite Macro.

One-Time Call as Needed, Or Ongoing Every 4 weeks

Process

Ticks are active when the ground temperature is above 45 degrees. Treatment areas include the lawn perimeter (where the lawn meets the woods), tall grasses or bushes, vegetation along paths, under decks and porches, pet kennels, runs, or places where animals or pets frequent.

Cost

Customers on the quarterly maintenance plan receive $20 off per service. Up to a half-acre lot, the price is $80, and up to a one-acre lot, it is $125. Service recurs every 3-4 weeks or is performed upon request.

Preparation

Remove all pet belongings, toys, lawn chairs, and other items from the yard. Cover or remove food-contact surfaces such as tables and grills. Turn off sprinklers, and do not use them until the product has dried. Cover ponds with fish in them. Keep out until the spray has dried.

Recommendations

Keep the grass mowed. Remove leaf litter, brush, and weeds at the edge of the lawn. Remove brush and leaves around stonewalls and wood piles. Manage wildlife. Use plants that do not attract deer or exclude deer through fencing. Discourage rodent activity by removing food, water sources, and items that provide shelter. We also can provide an exterior rodent bait station program. Treat pets with a product registered for use on animals.

Service Area

Our service area is inside the purple line. We service homes outside of the purple line. However, a “trip charge” will be incurred to account for longer drive times.

Out of Area “Trip Charge”

For locations outside the purple line- up to forty minutes from the office, a “trip charge” of $50 per visit applies for single services and non-warrantied follow-up visits. Add $100 for multi-visit service plans. We do not service homes over 40 minutes away. During the busy April-October season, we might be unable to service homes outside the purple line. We are likelier to take jobs to the West than jobs further away to the South or East.
