Spotting ticks across the Mad River Valley
Our natural-first approach to ticks in the Mad River Valley
Perimeter treatments with botanical tick repellents create protective zones. We target tick habitat at lawn/forest edges and treat areas where deer travel. Habitat modification reduces populations naturally. We identify conditions common to ski vacation homes and customize every treatment to your property's specific needs.

Ticks questions from Mad River Valley residents
Lyme disease is most common, spread by deer ticks. We also see anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Powassan virus. Prompt tick removal within 24-36 hours reduces transmission risk significantly.
We apply botanical treatments to perimeter vegetation where ticks wait for hosts. Treating during spring nymph season and fall adult season provides maximum protection during high-risk periods.
Our botanical treatments are safe for pets once dry. We recommend keeping pets off treated areas for a few hours. Our products complement veterinary tick preventives.
Create sunny, dry zones by removing leaf litter, mowing regularly, and creating gravel barriers between lawn and woods. Discourage deer with fencing. Our habitat modification guidance helps.
