Tick Control

Erin — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 06:05:52 +0000

Lyme disease is the most serious tick borne disease in the country. If you live in Ct, there is a high likelihood that ticks have been found in or near your town.

Did you know that the term Lyme disease (lyme borreliosis) came from the Town of Lyme, CT where in the 1970’s multiple cases of this disease were documented? The symptoms of Lyme disease may include a ‘Bulls-eye’ rash expanding from the bite, followed by fatigue, fever, headache, body aches and various viral-like symptoms. If Lyme disease is not cared for worse symptoms can occur.

Expert treatment can significantly reduce the threat these ticks pose to you and your family. We’d like to evaluate your property and recommend the best available tick control program. We offer a comprehensive yard management program that uses the best available tick control strategies.

Our program features a highly effective, low odor spray applied 3 times a year Spring, Fall and Winter. We spray the perimeter of the lawn, along the wooded areas, areas of high usage and any tick habitats. A tick habitat would be defined as rock walls, trees and leaves, any piles of wood which will not be used for fire wood, playscapes, sheds and bushes around the house

Remember …. he may be cute, but the little friends he brings with him are not.
