Massachusetts Tick Control - Organic Treatments

Throughout the course of a day, we get as many as 10-15 new requests from south shore residents for Massachusetts tick control. About half of those requests start by asking the question, do organic products work for treating ticks in Massachusetts? They also want to know whether those products are as effective as conventional applications on the south shore

 

Do organic products work for treating ticks in Massachusetts?

The Massachusetts tick control operation at Burgess Pest Management does offer organic tick control, in addition to our traditional application methods. Here are a few key points to keep in mind, as you make a decision about which products you'd like us to use.

  • Burgess Pest Management has created a proprietary blend of low-impact products for Massachusetts tick sprays. 
  • The conventional tick application is made with a combination of plant botanicals and one residual product that's highly effective in controlling soft bodied pests - like ticks.
  • Organic tick control products are available - however they are more expensive and slightly less effective at creating a residual barrier.

Organic tick control in Massachusetts is gaining in popularity. You should just be aware that it will be more expensive, compared to traditional applications. And it's effectiveness and residual effect will not be as strong as conventional products.

However, that's not to say that they don't work well. Treating with organic products can be helpful in reducing the tick population in your yard. Like everything, you should just make sure you understand exactly what you're getting.
