Protect Your Family, Pets & Property from Tick-Borne Disease
Ticks are one of the most dangerous pests in New England. They are small, difficult to detect, and can carry serious illnesses such as Lyme disease. Bug Hunt provides targeted, professional tick control treatments that significantly reduce tick populations and help protect your home, yard, and family.

Why Tick Control is Critical in New England
Ticks thrive in the climate and landscape throughout New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Southern Maine—especially in wooded, shaded, and moist environments.
Common risks include:
- Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses
- Exposure to pets and children
- Increased populations in untreated yards
- Hard-to-detect bites
Ticks are active from early spring through late fall, and can remain active during mild winter temperatures.
Common Ticks We Treat
- Blacklegged (Deer) Ticks – Primary carriers of Lyme disease
- American Dog Ticks – Common in lawns and open areas
- Lone Star Ticks – Increasingly present in New England
Accurate identification allows us to apply the most effective treatment strategy.
Signs You May Have a Tick Problem
- Finding ticks on pets, clothing, or skin
- Wildlife activity such as deer or rodents on your property
- Tall grass, brush, or wooded edges
- Leaf litter or damp, shaded areas
If you have seen one tick, there are likely more present.
Our Tick Control Process

We evaluate your property to identify tick-prone zones and environmental conditions
Targeted Treatment
We apply professional-grade treatments to key areas:

Habitat Reduction
We identify contributing factors and provide recommendations to reduce tick activity
Ongoing Protection
We offer recurring treatments to maintain consistent control throughout the season
Most properties see a significant reduction in tick activity after the first application.
Seasonal Tick Maintenance Plans
For best results, we recommend a seasonal approach to tick control.
Our maintenance programs include:
- Regular treatments every 3–4 weeks during peak season
- Early spring start to prevent population buildup
- Continued applications through late fall
- Customized plans based on property size and risk level
Seasonal plans provide consistent protection and are the most effective way to keep tick populations under control long-term.
