Why Longwood Has a Ticks Problem
Longwood's proximity to St. Mary's Park, Barretto Point Park, and the many residential courtyards creates ideal habitats for deer ticks and dog ticks. The neighborhood's mix of pre-war apartment buildings with shared yards and traditional housing stock requires specialized tick prevention strategies tailored to urban outdoor spaces.
Why Choose Us for Tick Control in Longwood
Our tick control program targets the areas where ticks quest for hosts: tall grass margins, leaf litter, brush piles, stone walls, and the woodland edge where your yard meets natural areas. Technicians apply residual acaricide to these specific zones in a targeted band treatment, maximizing effectiveness while minimizing product use in open lawn areas. We also identify and advise on habitat modifications — like clearing leaf litter and trimming overgrown vegetation — that reduce tick harborage near the home. Seasonal follow-up applications in spring and late summer align with peak tick activity periods for maximum protection through the warmer months. Every service includes a service agreement — terms depend on the service and are confirmed on the call.
