We treat 3 properties in Wilbraham this season. Seven visits a season, from the Boston Road corridor up to the Wilbraham Mountains, tick work included.
The Wilbraham Mountains, part of the state's Central Upland, dominate the town's landscape. Around them are neighborhoods from North Wilbraham and the Boston Road corridor to Wilbraham Center, the Pines Section and South Wilbraham. The town also holds the White Cedar Swamp, which a 2009 report quoted on the town website calls the best example of a cedar wetland in the Connecticut Valley, along with Twelve Mile Brook and Spear Brook.
The town's own guide to the White Cedar Swamp Trail warns hikers that wet areas spring up quickly after rain and to watch for ticks and mosquitos. A backyard isn't a swamp trail, but the same pattern holds wherever lawn meets woods or wet ground. Our program treats those edges about every three weeks from late April through October.
Where a Wilbraham yard meets the mountain woods, the tree line is the tick zone: leaf litter, tall grass, brush and stone walls in the shade. Tick control is part of every BML mosquito visit at no extra charge, all seven visits from late April through October. The tech treats that edge, woodpiles and shaded beds, and the paths your family takes toward the woods or a brook.
Fill in the form below or call 413.533.1999. We'll confirm your Wilbraham 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. We take on yards across Wilbraham, from North Wilbraham and the Boston Road corridor to Wilbraham Mountain, East Wilbraham and South Wilbraham. Hillside lots with long wood lines are priced from a walk of the property, so the price reflects the edge habitat that actually needs treating.
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.
