We treat 2 properties in West Hatfield this season. That covers the corner of Hatfield next to the Northampton line, with tick work on all seven visits.
West Hatfield is the southwest part of Hatfield, right against the Northampton border. Much of it drains through two brooks, Running Gutter Brook and Mountain Brook, both feeding the Mill River, and Hatfield's Running Gutter Reservoir is here too. Most of the wetland is a narrow ribbon along Running Gutter Brook and its tributaries, with larger stretches in the Rocks area.
The woods are the other half of the story. Hatfield's open space plan lists West Hatfield's wooded areas as primary habitat for white-tailed deer, black bear and bobcat. Deer bring ticks to the edge of the lawn, which is why the border of a yard matters as much as the middle. A BML tech treats both on every visit, about every three weeks from late April through October.
With woods and brooks this close, the shaded edges of a West Hatfield yard are where ticks wait. Tick control is included on all seven BML visits, late April through October, at no extra charge. The tech treats leaf litter, stone walls, brush and the strip where lawn meets trees, then the beds and shrubs nearer the house. If you have a woodpile or a garden fence near the tree line, point it out at the walk so it's covered every time.

Yes. West Hatfield is the southwest part of the town of Hatfield, next to Northampton, in Hampshire County. We treat West Hatfield yards from our shop in South Hadley; if you're elsewhere in Hatfield, call 413.533.1999 and we'll tell you whether we can reach you.
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.
