Natural Mosquito Control on Martha’s Vineyard
Mosquitoes are active spring through fall on the island and prefer a warm, moist environment. They are more than a nuisance, as they also pose health risks to humans and our pets. Even when summer winds down, the island remains at risk for viruses carried by mosquitoes. Mosquito-borne diseases are spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito. Control the mosquito population near your home to reduce the risk. Beginning routine sprays earlier in the season controls breeding and thus reduces the population.
All Natural Tick Control on Martha’s Vineyard
There are more ticks in more places than ever before, and over the past two decades, tick-borne illnesses have increased, especially on Martha’s Vineyard. Our routine program eliminates ticks in all life-stages without the use of toxic chemicals. Ticks are active early spring through fall. While some ticks go dormant during the winter, deer ticks remain active as long as the temperature is above freezing. Routine and consistent property treatments are key to maintaining tick populations. Protect against tick bites around the home and therefore prevent tick-borne disease such as Lyme disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Martha's Vineyard have ticks?
Martha's Vineyard does have ticks, the best tick repellant is an all-natural product that both repels and kills ticks. The product used by Pure Solutions, TMPro, kills ticks on contact by attacking their exoskeleton and targeting chemicals in their brain, killing them within 15 minutes of contact with the solution.
How common are ticks on Martha's Vineyard?
Martha's Vineyard, like many wooded and grassy areas, is known to have ticks. Ticks are prevalent in the Northeastern United States, and Martha's Vineyard, located off the coast of Massachusetts, is no exception. The most common tick species found on Martha's Vineyard is the deer tick, also known as the black-legged tick, which can transmit Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis. According to data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the number of reported cases of tick-borne diseases on Martha's Vineyard has varied from year to year but has generally increased in recent years. In 2019, Martha's Vineyard had 57 confirmed cases of Lyme disease, compared to 29 cases in 2018.
When is tick season on Martha's Vineyard?
Ticks can be active as long as temperatures are above freezing. Our regular season runs from March to December, and is fully customizable for more frequent treatments during the height of the tick and mosquito season. Ticks breed in the winter and lay eggs in the spring, so late and early season treatments are important to prevent eggs from being laid on your property.
Do ticks on Martha's Vineyard carry Lyme disease?
Yes, ticks on Martha's Vineyard can carry Lyme disease. Martha's Vineyard is located in a high-risk area for Lyme disease transmission, and the island has a relatively high prevalence of Lyme disease compared to other areas in Massachusetts. The black-legged tick (also known as the deer tick) is the primary tick species responsible for transmitting Lyme disease in the northeastern United States, and this tick is commonly found on Martha's Vineyard. It is important to take precautions when spending time outdoors on Martha's Vineyard or in any other area where ticks are present to reduce the risk of tick bites and Lyme disease transmission.
What months are mosquitoes most active on Martha's Vineyard?
Mosquitoes become active in May, and ticks become active in March, though they can emerge from their burrows any time temperatures rise above freezing. For this reason, we treat for pests from March to December.
Are Lone Star ticks found on Martha’s Vineyard and do they transmit Alpha-gal syndrome?
Yes, Lone Star ticks are now established in parts of Martha’s Vineyard and have been expanding in recent years. They are the primary tick linked to Alpha-gal syndrome, a condition that can develop after a tick bite and can trigger an allergy to red meat and other mammal-derived products. Our all-natural tick control product is designed to help reduce tick activity across multiple species, including the Lone Star tick, and reduce pressure on your property, providing ongoing protection between treatments.
