We treat 5 properties in Hadley this season. We cover the town from North Hadley to Hockanum, with tick work on all seven visits.
Hadley is farm country: much of the town is open fields. North Hadley, a historic rural village, sits between Mount Warner and the Connecticut River, and Hockanum is a rural historic district along the river too. On the Fort River, the Fort River Division of the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge protects more than 260 acres of forest, riverland and grassland, and Skinner State Park climbs to the summit of Mount Holyoke.
Open fields don't hold many mosquitos during the day, but the hedgerows, river banks and wooded edges around them do, and that's where ticks wait too. A BML tech walks your property first, then treats the shrubs, shaded borders and wood line about every three weeks from late April through October. Our shop is just over the line in South Hadley.
Hadley's ticks live at the edges: where a lawn meets a hedgerow, the brushy bank of the Fort River, or the woods climbing toward Mount Holyoke. Tick control is included on every BML mosquito visit at no extra charge. The tech treats leaf litter, tall grass, stone walls and woodpiles along those borders, then the shaded beds around the house. Farmhouse lots with long field edges are priced from a walk, so you pay for the edge habitat that needs treating.

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.
No, they're separate towns. Our shop is in South Hadley, and this page covers Hadley, including North Hadley and Hockanum. We treat 5 properties in Hadley this season.
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.
More answers on how the program works, when to start, the all-natural option and contracts are on our mosquito & tick control page.
