When is the best time to get my property treated for ticks?

The best time for tick treatments is early spring to late fall, which encompasses the active months for ticks in Connecticut. Scheduling regular treatments during this period can help maintain a tick-free environment throughout their most active seasons.

What diseases can ticks in Connecticut transmit?

Ticks in Connecticut are known carriers of Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, and Powassan virus disease. Prompt removal of a tick and monitoring for symptoms are critical steps after a tick bite.

How can I protect myself from tick bites?

To reduce the risk of tick bites, use insect repellent containing DEET on exposed skin and clothing, wear long sleeves and pants when in wooded or grassy areas, and conduct regular tick checks after spending time outdoors.

What months does tick and mosquito season run in Connecticut?

Tick and mosquito activity in Connecticut runs roughly from April through October, with peak risk in May through August. We treat once per month during that window, with at least 21 days between visits. Starting early in the season is the most effective way to reduce activity for the rest of the year.

Is your tick and mosquito treatment safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Our treatments use EPA-registered products that are safe for families and pets once they've dried. We recommend keeping everyone inside for 20–25 minutes after the technician treats your yard. Once that window passes, the yard is safe for normal use.

Can you spray for ticks and mosquitoes if it rains?

Usually we wait for clear weather, since rain can wash residual product off treated surfaces before it sets. If it rains shortly after we treat your property, call us — we'll come back out and re-treat at no extra charge. We're also rolling out a new rain-resistant formulation this season that allows treatment during light precipitation; ask your technician if you'd like to know more.

Do you treat the wooded portion of my property for ticks?

Yes. Ticks live in transition zones — the edges of wooded areas, leaf litter, and brush — far more than in open lawn. Our technicians treat those tree lines and wooded perimeters as part of every tick and mosquito visit. If your property is heavily wooded or over an acre, we'll discuss coverage and pricing during the free inspection.
