Lyme disease is one of the fastest spreading infectious diseases in the United States. The illness is carried by deer ticks in the Northeast, where 90% of all US cases are reported.

Lyme disease has become more prevalent partly because suburban neighborhoods have expanded into wooded areas where ticks thrive. Deer ticks are carried by deer, mice and pets.

For $79 we will do an introductory home perimeter application and an approximate tick count using the swipe method. Your tick count will be inputted into a data base for future monitoring and treatment. Specific recommendations will be made for follow up control.
