As we prepare for another very active tick season, there are a few helpful things everyone can do to help keep the tick population down.

– Keep leaf litter picked up and removed from your property. Relocating from one area of the lawn to another only relocates the ticks, and still keeps them in your yard.

– Remember all warm blooded creatures are a vector for ticks, this includes birds, mice, deer etc. Keeping bird feeders away from the home, helps prevent birds/ mice from bringing the ticks in and close to the home.

– As always before hiring a pesticide company, do research on what they are using as a pesticide treatment, be informed and aware.

Very, very important! As we all know ticks are cyclical in nature, they do not perish in the winter. We believe that fall treatments help diminish the tick population, by allowing less to survive in the winter you are allowing less to lay eggs in the spring!! Hopefully everyone is enjoying the fall weather, remember tick checks!!!

Remember ticks do NOT perish in the winter, instead the get rested and ramped up for the spring. Be prepared for the upcoming season ahead!

Time is “ticking” for one of the busiest tick seasons Maine has ever seen! Be prepared, April 1st is the beginning of our spraying season. The female tick can lay up to 6,000 eggs at one time….. be ready!

We at Nervous Ticks are a family owned and operated business. Our hearts go out to our community during this stressful time. This too shall pass, be aware and stay positive!
