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.

Mosquitoes can be present in Boston, especially during the summer months. The level of mosquito activity and nuisance can vary depending on factors such as weather conditions, time of day, and proximity to bodies of water. In recent years, there have been occasional reports of mosquito-borne illnesses such as West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalitis in Massachusetts, including in some areas around Boston. It's important to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites, such as wearing long-sleeved clothing and using insect repellent, especially during peak mosquito hours at dawn and dusk.

Our program is structured around 5 rounds of fertilization, starting in April with treatments every 45-60 days. At Pure Solutions, we use organic slow release fertilizers complete with proper nutrients, that include microbial and beneficial organisms which are necessary to maintain a healthy soil life.

Our organic lawn care programs are priced based on serviceable area on each property and is customized based on soil test results and feedback from technicians and clients.

The best time to aerate your lawn in Massachusetts is during the growing season in the fall, between mid-August and mid-October. This timing allows the grass to recover and grow before the winter sets in. Aeration can also be done in the spring, between mid-April and mid-May, before the lawn enters its peak growing season. It's important to consider the current condition of your lawn before deciding to aerate. If your lawn is suffering from drought stress, disease, or pest infestations, it may be best to wait until these issues are resolved before aerating.
