We treat 41 properties in Granby this season. From Forge Pond and Bachelor Brook up to the Holyoke Range, every one of the seven visits includes tick work.
Granby is next door to our South Hadley shop. The Holyoke Range crosses the north of town, with Long Mountain and Mount Norwottuck among its peaks and the Metacomet-Monadnock Trail running along the ridge; Mount Holyoke Range State Park has a trailhead on Batchelor Street. Below the range, Bachelor Brook feeds Forge Pond, a 71-acre impoundment off School Street, and Dufresne Park has a pond of its own.
Ridge woods, brooks and ponds make Granby good ground for mosquitos and ticks alike. The town is part of the Pioneer Valley Mosquito Control District, whose work is surveillance, larval mitigation and public education across its member towns. Our program is for your own property: a BML tech walks the yard, then treats the shrubs, shaded borders and wood line about every three weeks from late April through October.
Where a Granby yard meets the Holyoke Range woods or the brush along Bachelor Brook, that edge is where ticks wait. Tick control is part of every BML mosquito visit at no extra charge. The tech treats leaf litter, stone walls, woodpiles and the shaded strip along the tree line, then the beds and play areas closer to the house. Larger rural lots are priced from a walk, so you pay for the edge habitat that needs treating, not the whole acreage.

We come back every ~21 days through October. You don't have to think about it — we handle the rest.
Massachusetts. This page covers Granby in Hampshire County, next to South Hadley, where we treat 41 properties this season. We don't serve Granby, Connecticut.
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.
