Tick

Ticks transmit disease through their saliva. When attaching to a host, the saliva secreted carries a diverse molecular composition which enables the tick to bite, attached, and transmit fluids to the host largely unnoticed. Any individual tick can carry multiple diseases. In fact, the United States Center for Disease Control identifies over 15 different illnesses that originate from the pathogens that ticks can carry. Some of these diseases, such as Lyme Disease that are incredibly debilitating if early intervention is not taken, which is why dealing with the tick population of your property is the safest, most proactive course of action. Prevention and early detection are essential to protecting against tick-borne illness. Make sure to keep your family safe by thoroughly checking your body for ticks on a daily basis after time outdoors. Ticks are a very serious problem as infestations can spring up out of nowhere, due to the transportation of the pests on animals such as deer, squirrel, raccoons and Mice . It can be quite difficult to spot an infestation at first, especially if there are no signs of ticks on the skin of members of your family or pets. However, once ticks are spotted, immediate action needs to be taken.

Since a tick population boom can happen quickly and without obvious notice on your property, we suggest spraying for ticks every month during the active tick season of April through October. We use a non-organic or organic product in order to combat the tick population while keeping your family and pets safe. We offer services plans that allow us to spray once a month, ensuring that the population on your property never has a chance to grow and the problem is controlled at the source. We set up scheduled appointments for tick spraying so that your property remains tick-free during their peak months of activity.


Mosquitos


Mosquitoes are a particular problem lately due to the various viruses and pathogens they can carry. While it is rare that these cases should find their way to Long Island, it’s never a bad idea to take preemptive measures to deal with the population of mosquitoes on your property. Mosquitoes are incredibly dangerous to your dogs as they are the only way heartworms, dangerous cardiovascular parasitic roundworms that can reside in your dog’s heart or lungs, can be transmitted. Mosquitoes are just irritating in general, and the itchy bumps caused by their saliva after a bite can be a nuisance to deal with.

Mosquitoes have been an issue on Long Island for as long as people have lived here. We’ve developed a technique which is both incredibly effective and leaves your family and the environment unharmed. First, we establish a perimeter around your property. In order to quell the amount of mosquitoes on your property, we first have to make sure we treat the outskirts of your property. We then work towards the middle of your property, making sure we pay extra attention to areas where your family and guests will spend the most time like decks and patios. Finally, if you are having a party or celebration on your property, we can utilize our party spraying services for a mosquito control spray to make sure your event goes off without the presence of these annoying pests.
