Habitat modification reduces tick populations near homes. Diatomaceous earth applications in transition zones. Botanical cedar oil treatments repel ticks from treated areas. We create treated buffer zones between woods and lawn. Deer exclusion fencing where practical. For Albany's older structures, we inspect foundations and wall voids where pests commonly harbor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What diseases do ticks spread in Vermont and New Hampshire?
Deer ticks in our region transmit Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis. Lone star ticks are expanding north and can cause alpha-gal syndrome. Prompt tick removal within 24-36 hours significantly reduces disease transmission risk.
How do I properly remove an embedded tick?
Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible. Pull upward with steady, even pressure without twisting. Clean the bite area with rubbing alcohol. Save the tick for identification if you develop symptoms.
Can you treat ticks in Albany's historic homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in treating older Albany properties using methods that won't damage historic materials. Our targeted approach eliminates pests while preserving your home's character.
