Ticks are blood-feeding parasites that attach themselves to humans and animals; posing serious health risks. Since the 1950s, ticks have become more and more prevalent across the North Eastern United States – meaning effective tick control is essential in protecting your family and pets from tick bites and the diseases they carry, including Lyme disease.

Because ticks pose a major health risk, Aspenn takes tick control very seriously balancing highly effective tick control with minimal exposure to pesticides and chemicals for your family and pets.

Aspenn believe's in preventing ticks and tick bites before they happen. With our Integrated Pest Management programs, we feature a proactive approach to tick control as part of our regular tree care and lawn services.

Tick Control:

1. Tick control involves educating our customers in how to create a lawn and landscape that is hostile to ticks. This can be achieved through a few simple, chemical-free actions –regularly cutting the grass, actively raking up leaves during fall and creating barriers between garden plants with mulch. These steps immediately reduce the risk of your family or pets suffering ticks bites.
2. Our next step involves using environmentally responsible tick sprays to actively reduce the tick population while minimizing the exposure you and your family have to dangerous pesticides.
3. For high-risk or problematic areas involves using stronger tick treatments to control the tick population. In areas with a serious tick infestation, this significantly reduces the risk of tick bites and possible exposure to Lyme disease.
4. Once tick control has been established, we recommend maintaining a ‘tick safe’ landscape through the use of environmentally responsible tick treatments specifically timed to target ticks during the most vulnerable periods of their lifecycle.
5. By this stage, Aspenn’s tick treatments will have already offered effective tick control. But, in order to reduce the risk of exposure to Lyme disease even further, we also offer a specific service  targeting the #1 vector for disease-carrying ticks in America; white footed mice. By eliminating ticks from the mice and their bedding, it prevents them from bringing disease-carrying ticks into your home
