ALERT: May 2025 is on track to be the worst month for tick bites in recent history across the Northeast.

The first week alone is already the 4th-highest May total in 9 years—and we still have three weeks to go.

Tick-borne illnesses are rising fast.

What we are seeing so far in our area:
• 13 strains of Lyme Disease
• Anaplasmosis (HGA)
• Ehrlichiosis (HGE)
• Babesiosis (microti & duncani)
• Rickettsia (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever)
• Bartonella

Some of these can transmit in just 10 minutes after a tick bite and may not respond to standard treatments. Early testing and treatment are crucial.

Also emerging: Alpha Gal Syndrome — a severe allergy to red meat and dairy triggered by the Lone Star tick, now present in our region.

What you can do:
• Do daily tick checks
• Treat clothing with permethrin
• Use tick tubes on your property
• Monitor for symptoms (they can show up 5 days to 6 weeks post-bite)

You can send ticks to tickreport.com (Amherst, NA) for rapid testing — results in just 3 business days.

Stay safe and protect your health! Wishing everyone a healthy, happy and tick-safe start to the warm weather seasons 🌿🌱🌳

Have you seen Spotted Lantern Flies around the exterior of your home!?

These are invasive insects that started being reported here in Massachusetts around 2018. The population of these insects spiked substantially in 2024.

They spread very easily and are often spotted on city mold but are found on a wide variety of materials outside! Some things to look for foamy fugus. They also seem to gravitate towards anything with a vine. This time of year Adults & Eggs could be found.

If these are spotted they should be reported to

preferably with a photo!

It's that time of year!

Did you know mice only need 1/4 of an inch to get into your home or business? That's about the size of a dime 😯

Did you know a single female mouse can get pregnant up to 10 times a year, having up to 8 pups per litter!?! That's 80 babies & how many of those babies are females!? 🤯

Let's *prevent* that rodent infestation by setting up a rodent initial service today!

RODENT SERVICE SPECIAL -

$350, which includes your initial service, 1 follow-up, and up to 1hr of exclusion (sealing holes).

*price based off of 2,000 square ft home, price may increase for larger homes.
