Question 1

When do you come out?

Accepted Answer

Our season is from April 1st through October 31st in monthly intervals for our Organic Tick & Mosquito Control Program. The Organic Tick with Mosquito Plus program includes a two-week interval for June, July, and August, as these are typically the most intense mosquito months.

Question 2

Is it safe for my kids or pets?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We only use organic essential oils.

Question 3

How many applications are there?

Accepted Answer

The Organic Tick & Mosquito Control Program consists of seven applications, while the Organic Tick with Mosquito Plus program includes a total of ten applications.

Question 4

Are that many needed?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Since we only use organic essential oils, they are effective for about thirty days, requiring regular applications to maintain effectiveness.

Question 5

What do you use?

Accepted Answer

Our exact formula is proprietary, but we use the following essential oils: Rosemary, Geraniol, Peppermint, and Wintergreen.

Question 6

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

It kills on contact and then acts as a repellent.

Question 7

Why don’t you use pesticides?

Accepted Answer

We love Cape Cod and want to do our part to protect our fragile ecosystem. Pesticides may never fully break down and could endanger wildlife and drinking water.

Question 8

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

Light rain will not adversely affect our applications. However, a very heavy downpour may dilute the application. We avoid spraying before heavy rain is forecasted.

Question 9

How long does the application last?

Accepted Answer

Applications typically last about a month for ticks. Mosquitoes, which fly, may require spraying at a two-week interval. This is why we developed the Organic Tick with Mosquito Plus Program.

Question 10

How long should it take for the application to be completed?

Accepted Answer

The time depends on the property size: anywhere from ten minutes (10,000 square feet) to an hour (100,000 square feet).

Question 11

Why don’t they call ahead?

Accepted Answer

To ensure timely applications, our technicians have the freedom to service clients as needed without prior scheduling calls.
