Is your treatment really all natural?

Yes. Our treatments are made exclusively from highly effective, plant-based essential oils and other natural ingredients. We never use synthetic chemicals and we never run chemical routes, so there's no risk of drift or cross-contamination. We're 100% natural, 100% of the time.

Do I need to leave the property during application?

No. Unlike chemical sprays, there is zero evacuation period with our service. Kids, pets and adults can stay outside the entire time. For best results we recommend allowing the spray to dry — typically 30 to 45 minutes — before direct contact.

How quickly does your natural tick spray work?

Fast. Most ticks are knocked down within hours, and nearly all within 24 hours. Once dry, the treatment creates a protective barrier that continues working to repel ticks and mosquitoes between visits.

How often do you spray?

We spray as nature demands, adjusting to weather, insect activity and seasonal pressure. You'll often see us more frequently during the shoulder seasons because that's when tick life-cycle pressure matters most. You're paying for results, not a calendar.

Is your tick control safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Our treatments are plant-based, natural, and safe for kids, dogs and the land we all love. There's no downtime, no need to leave the yard, and no harsh chemicals involved.

What areas do you serve?

We serve the East End of Long Island — primarily the North Fork and surrounding communities including Southold, Cutchogue, Mattituck, Greenport, Orient, Jamesport and more. If you're unsure whether you're in our service area, call us at 631-380-1736 and we'll confirm.

Do you offer one-time tick treatments?

Yes. Our Special Event Protection is perfect for parties, weddings and outdoor gatherings. For ongoing comfort and consistent results, we recommend our seasonal plan, but we're happy to help with single-event needs as well.

What if I still see ticks between visits?

Nature can be challenging to control, and no service can promise 100% elimination. Our sprays and granulars — paired with our targeted application methods — are independently proven to reduce tick populations by 90% or more. If you notice a spike in activity, call us. Our respray promise means we'll come back between scheduled treatments at no extra charge.
