Did you know that 95% of all confirmed Lyme disease cases have been reported from just 14 states? Or that these 14 states included the entire New England region?
Growing populations of deer and rodents introduce more ticks and mosquitoes to our environment.
Lyme Disease
Deer Ticks
Deer ticks, in particular, are the breed of tick that carries the disease, and they are far too prevalent in the New England region to be ignored. Although wooded areas are ideal for tick activity, with the growing population of deer, tick activity is becoming more common in all areas of New England. Griggs & Browne tick control services can help reduce the population of ticks around your property.
Our professional deer tick control and tick prevention treatments help reduce tick activity around your yard. Regular tick treatment is an important part of reducing exposure to ticks associated with Lyme disease, although no treatment can completely eliminate the risk.
The Griggs & Browne Tick Control Process
Our traditional tick reduction program consists of a three-stage treatment plan. The first two applications are made in the spring and summer, with a final application being made in the fall. This three-stage treatment is based on the ticks’ life cycle. While this is classified as a reduction and not elimination, if performed regularly throughout the year, should effectively minimize the potential for a tick infestation.
Our three-stage tick treatment program targets seasonal tick activity and helps reduce tick populations in outdoor areas where ticks may be present.

The Griggs & Browne Mosquito Control Process
Our traditional mosquito reduction program consists of a monthly treatment plan, typically from May through October, to effectively reduce the mosquito population on the property. The treatments are very similar to tick treatments with the main difference being the frequency of the applications. Because mosquitoes are flying insects, treatments need to be made monthly to ensure adequate control.
Our yard mosquito treatment program uses professional mosquito spraying to help reduce mosquito activity throughout the season. Regular treatments are scheduled to address recurring mosquito populations and support more comfortable outdoor spaces.
What Areas Are Treated for Ticks and Mosquitoes?
Tick and mosquito treatments focus on outdoor areas where these pests are likely to be active. Depending on the property and treatment plan, technicians may target vegetation, shaded areas, and other suitable pest habitats while avoiding sensitive areas. Your technician can explain which areas of your property will be treated before the application.
Safeguarding Kids and Pets
One of the most frequently asked questions about our tick and mosquito treatments is how the treatment will affect their children and/or pets. People and pets are instructed to stay inside during application, but generally can return to treated areas an hour or so later, depending on weather conditions. Our professional technicians utilize the utmost caution when performing tick and mosquito applications, avoiding flowering plants, edible plants, bodies of water, and other sensitive areas.
Before treatment, keep children and pets away from the application areas and follow any preparation instructions provided by your technician. Reentry times may vary depending on the product used and weather conditions, so always follow the technician’s specific guidance.
Tick and Mosquito Control Tips
In addition to professional tick and mosquito control, simple preventive measures can help reduce pest activity around your property. Keep grass trimmed, remove standing water where mosquitoes may breed, maintain outdoor vegetation, and reduce areas that provide shelter for ticks. Combining regular yard maintenance with seasonal treatments can support ongoing tick prevention and mosquito reduction.
