Like the permethrin product that you are using (or should be using) on your clothing to kill and repel biting insects, our product binds to the thatch of your lawn or the under-story of your woods. It continues to kill the ticks and fleas for up to three months. Because it is chemically bound to the thatch, it does not wash off in rain, or come off on you or your pets, making it safe for everything except the “bugs.”

If you are only interested in organic control measures, we offer our services with products that are made from thyme oil, eugenol, wintergreen, and diatomaceous earth. These products must be applied more frequently because they are quick-kill and do not provide the residual of the other products.

Pocono Mosquito Ecology

Mosquito Life Cycle

life cycle

Mosquitoes are totally dependent on water for the first portion of their lives. Without water, they cannot reproduce. Any container that holds rainwater can continuously breed generation after generation all season. This makes control round the house relatively easy.

Controlling the mosquitoes that are coming from surrounding properties – and wetlands – is harder, employing different strategies.

More than nuisance

Mosquitoes have killed more humans throughout history than all wars combined. Although public health measures have drastically reduced the numbers, more than 700,000 people per year die from mosquito-borne diseases, primarily malaria. Today in the United States, thousands are sickened and hundreds die from mosquito-borne diseases every year. Most cases could  be prevented with basic knowledge and minimal effort.

Thank you!

Dear Tick Chicks –

Hi, I hope this note finds you doing well.

My name is Missy Gudz, BSRN at Spruce Lake Wilderness Camp. I spoke with you last week re: Amanda Gudz, my daughter.

I wanted to personally thank you and tell you how vital your services and professional advice has meant to Amanda’s health and well-being.

Jackie, as the fax was remised at our primary health clinic – I was so thankful to expedite the process by calling/contacting you directly, then being able to send her to CareWorks, in which the needed information was awaiting her at their desk via your faxing the report – and ended the dilemma of “who will write this doxycycline prescription for our daughter?” So from two most grateful parents: Thank you, thank you!!

I serve on the Advisory Board at Spruce Lake Wilderness Camp – as well as RN for the week-long camps (2 weeks this summer) I am always so glad to let (camp) parents know this coverage for tick evaluation is 100%.

God’s greatest love & blessing be yours – Sincerely, Missy Gudz
