We treat 6 properties in Easthampton this season. Yards between Mount Tom and the Manhan River get seven visits a season, with tick work on every one.
Easthampton sits between two kinds of bug country. On the east side, Mount Tom State Reservation reaches into the city, carrying its wooded slopes over the eastern edge. North of downtown, the Manhan River crosses town on its way to the Oxbow, and Mass Audubon's Arcadia sanctuary, which Easthampton shares with Northampton, adds marsh, meadow and wetland. Closer to home, Nashawannuck Pond was created when a local brook was dammed.
Wet ground feeds the mosquitos, and the woods and meadow edges hold the ticks. Our seasonal program goes after both where they spend the day in your yard. A BML tech walks the property first, then returns about every three weeks from late April through October, and you get a text or email the day before each visit.
In Easthampton, tick pressure follows the tree line. Homes that back onto Mount Tom's woods, or onto the brushy edges toward Arcadia and the Manhan, tend to have more of the leaf litter and tall grass ticks rely on. Tick control is part of every BML mosquito visit, with no upcharge: the tech treats that wood edge, stone walls, woodpiles and shaded beds. Tell us at the walk where your kids and dogs spend their time and we'll give those spots extra attention.

A BML tech meets you at the property, identifies hotspots, and gives you a firm price. No pressure.
Once you're on the schedule, the first treatment usually goes in within 7-10 days. Dry time is 30-45 min.
We come back every ~21 days through October. You don't have to think about it — we handle the rest.
Yes. Yards near water tend to see more mosquitos, so the walk-through matters there. The tech looks for the shaded shrubs, damp corners and tall grass on your side of the water and treats those spots on every visit, from late April through October.
Once the spray has dried, typically 30-45 minutes. The materials we use are EPA-registered for residential yards, and we do not treat flowering plants during active bloom, to limit contact with bees and other pollinators.
Every yard is different, so we don't publish a flat rate. It comes down to the size of your yard and how much edge habitat there is. We'll walk the property, measure what actually needs treating, and send you a firm written price before any work starts. The quote is free, and you decide.
