Offering protection for you and your family

About Our Services

OUR GOAL IS to provide you with professional services, current and comprehensive educational information from reliable internet resources such as the National Center for Disease Control to obtain facts that allow you to protect you and your family against vector-borne diseases including Lyme disease, Babesia, Ehrlichiosis, EEE, West Nile Virus and others. 

WE WANT YOU to be able to identify ticks, understand how you can protect yourself using common sense guidelines and decide how our services will be beneficial to you.

OUR TICK & MOSQUITO SPRAY PROGRAMS correspond with the four peak periods in which various stages of deer ticks appear in Maine. Our four spray tick program targets adults in mid April, nymphs in mid June, larvae in early August, and adults again in September and October. Our spray program targets these specific stages of tick development and is the most immediate & effective tick control method. Our mosquito treatment program begins in mid May and will significantly reduce the number of mosquitoes on your property for up to three weeks per application.

PARTY SPRAY Planning an outdoor graduation reception, a birthday party, a family gathering or summer reunion? Our one time party spray will significantly reduce the number of ticks, mosquitoes and other insects invited to your function, making for a safer and more enjoyable gathering.
