Why Professional Tick Control Matters
Broome County is in New York’s high-risk zone for Lyme disease. Blacklegged ticks (deer ticks) are the primary vector, and they’re active in Binghamton from early spring through late fall. A single untreated tick bite can transmit Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, or babesiosis. Professional yard treatment reduces tick populations by up to 90% and creates a protective perimeter around your outdoor living spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How common is Lyme disease in Binghamton?
Very common. New York consistently leads the nation in Lyme disease cases, and Broome County is in the high-risk Southern Tier. The blacklegged tick that carries Lyme is well-established locally.

Blacklegged ticks are active whenever temperatures are above 35°F. Peak risk is spring (April-June) and fall (October-November). Adult ticks are active in winter on warm days.
How does yard treatment work?
We apply targeted treatments to the perimeter where your yard meets wooded or overgrown areas — this is where 80% of tick encounters happen. The treatment kills ticks on contact and provides residual protection.

Yes. Once dry (typically 30-60 minutes), treated areas are safe for children and pets. We use EPA-registered products specifically labeled for residential tick control.
How many treatments do I need per year?
We recommend 3-4 treatments per season: early spring, late spring, mid-summer, and fall. This covers the full tick activity period in Binghamton.
