We treat 3 properties in West Springfield this season. Our visits run from the Westfield River up to the Bear Hole woods, with tick work on each one.
West Springfield has more wild ground than its busy roads suggest. Bear Hole, 1,400 acres shared with Holyoke and now permanently protected, holds hiking trails, vernal pools, beaver ponds and a heron rookery near the trap-rock ridge of East Mountain. Mittineague Park covers about 325 acres in the south of town, the Mittineague neighborhood sits on the north bank of the Westfield River, and the town's stretch of the Connecticut River Walk and Bikeway follows the levee for a mile and a half.
West Springfield belongs to the Pioneer Valley Mosquito Control District, which provides mosquito surveillance, larval mitigation and public education to its member towns. Our work is a different job: we treat the shrubs, shaded borders and wood line of your own yard, where adult mosquitos and ticks rest, about every three weeks from late April through October.
West Springfield yards that back onto East Mountain's woods, Bear Hole or the trees along the Westfield River share a long shaded border with tick habitat. Tick control is part of every BML mosquito visit, with no upcharge. The tech treats the leaf litter, stone walls, brush and woodpiles along that edge, then the shrubs and beds nearer the house. If a trail or a deer path comes onto your property, show us at the walk so it's treated on every visit.
Fill in the form below or call 413.533.1999. We'll confirm your West Springfield 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.
The Pioneer Valley Mosquito Control District's published services are mosquito surveillance, larval mitigation and public education for its member towns, and West Springfield is one of them. A BML program works at the yard level: seven visits from late April through October that treat the places adult mosquitos and ticks rest on your property. They're different jobs.
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.
