We treat 2 properties in Russell this season. Visits run from Woronoco along the Westfield River to the South Quarter hills, tick work included.
Russell is hill-town country. Apart from the South Quarter uplands, the town is a deep valley along the swift Westfield River, with the village of Woronoco in the east. The escarpment between the uplands and the valley is forested and cut by streams, too steep to farm, and Tekoa Mountain Wildlife Management Area covers 1,383 rocky, oak-covered acres shared with Montgomery, where Shatterack Brook drops in a series of cascades.
That's a lot of forest edge for one town, and forest edge is where ticks live. Our program is built for yards like these: a BML tech walks the property, maps the wood line, stone walls and damp, shaded spots, and treats them about every three weeks from late April through October.
In a town this wooded, tick control matters as much as mosquito control, and it's included on every BML mosquito visit at no extra charge. The tech treats the leaf litter and brush along the tree line, stone walls, woodpiles and the shaded beds around the house, on all seven visits from late April through October. Steep, wooded lots are priced from a walk of the property, so you pay for the edge habitat that actually needs treating.
Fill in the form below or call 413.533.1999. We'll confirm your Russell address and book a property walk.
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. Russell is one of the towns we cover, and we treat 2 properties there this season from our shop in South Hadley. Call 413.533.1999 or use the form below and we'll book a walk of the property and send a firm written price.
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.
