SAFETY

  • Protecting your family and pets from pests and harmful chemicals is our top priority. We use only products with ingredients that are family-safe and pet-safe.

    The EPA defines “minimum risk pesticides” as those that pose little to no risk to human health or the environment.

    Our specialists are trained in pollinator safety and will not treat sensitive areas such as flowering plants to avoid any potential contact with bees and other pollinators.

    We care about Vermont and our pollinators and work hard to protect them.

  • No. Our treatments are typically done to lawns, shrubs, perimeter wood lines and damp, shady areas where insects tend to dwell. We do not apply directly to your pool, pond/lake or waterways.

    Our treatments are done using products that fall under EPA regulations for 25(b) exempt pesticide ingredients. The EPA has determined that certain ‘minimum risk pesticides’ pose little to no risk to human health or the environment

EFFECTIVENESS

  • We recommend a 2 to 3 week frequency of treatments for ideal results.

  • While some activity is expected due to many environmental factors, we strive to drastically reduce tick and mosquito activity as we build up a residual barrier on your property.

    If you feel you are not receiving proper control or benefit we will come out to your property to evaluate the situation and provide a retouch application

  • Choosing an all-natural approach to controlling ticks and mosquitoes gives you peace of mind that you are avoiding the spraying of harmful synthetic chemicals around your property and protecting your family, friends, pets and the environment from the effects of those harsh products while also guarding loved ones from common vector-borne diseases that these pests carry.
