Found a tick after a Greenbelt hike or yard cleanup? Stay calm and act fast: use fine-tipped tweezers, grasp close to the skin, and pull up with steady pressure, no twisting and no folk remedies like heat or oils. Clean the area, save the tick in a sealed bag with the date, and watch for a rash, fever, or flu-like aches for the next 30 days. Fall is peak time for adult deer ticks on Staten Island, and our all-natural essential-oil treatments help protect the yard where ticks wait in leaf litter and shady edges, with no contracts.
