All Natural Tick Control

There are more ticks in more places than ever before, and tick-borne illnesses have increased significantly over the past two decades, especially in the Northeast. Our PROGAEA™ All Natural Tick Control & Prevention Solutions target ticks at all life-stages without the use of toxic chemicals.
Our botanical pest control products are highly effective, eco-friendly, and designed for long-lasting protection. Pure Solutions also offers natural lawn care service programs, all-natural mosquito control solutions, natural deer repellent, and special event pest spraying. We proudly serve New England, including Central New Hampshire, Upper Valley, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, including Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard.
Our Approach to Tick Control
When it comes to protecting your yard from ticks, you shouldn’t have to choose between safety and effectiveness. Pure Solutions’ exclusive Progaea TMPro treatments work fast to kill ticks on contact within 15 minutes while providing residual protection comparable to synthetic pesticides. Our standard tick control season runs from March through December, as Blacklegged ticks are active until temperatures drop below freezing. However, this can be customized to meet your property’s needs.

Proven All Natural Tick Control & Prevention Solutions Eliminate Ticks Safely
1. Customize Program
We customize a program for your property that targets tick habitats, including vegetation, wooded edges, and the perimeter of your yard.
2. Treatment
Treatments of PROGAEA™ Tick & Mosquito eliminate ticks in all life-stages on your property. Over time, treated areas create a residual barrier protecting the property between routine treatments.

Understanding the Tick Life Cycle
Ticks have four life stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Each stage requires a blood meal to progress, and ticks often live in shaded, moist areas like leaf litter, tall grass, and shrubs. All-natural tick control works at every stage, reducing infestations before ticks reach adulthood, providing long-lasting protection.
Identify Ticks in Your Region
Blacklegged Ticks (Deer Ticks)
The blacklegged tick, commonly called the deer tick, is one of the most prevalent ticks in New England. Nymphs are roughly the size of a poppy seed, while adults are closer to the size of a sesame seed, making them hard to spot. Deer ticks are the primary carriers of Lyme disease, and can also transmit anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and Powassan virus. The highest risk is spring through fall, though adults can remain active when winter temperatures stay above freezing.
American Dog Ticks
The American dog tick is one of the most commonly encountered ticks in New England. About the size of a watermelon seed, it is reddish-brown with gray and silver markings. Only adult American dog ticks typically bite humans, with peak activity in spring and summer. They can transmit tick-borne illnesses such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia.
Lone Star Ticks
Named for the single white spot on the back of adult females, Lone Star ticks are medium brown and slightly smaller than American dog ticks. Once considered more of a southern species, lone star ticks have been steadily expanding their range into New England and are now found in parts of Massachusetts and surrounding states. All life stages will bite humans. Lone Star ticks are carriers of ehrlichiosis, tularemia, and STARI (southern tick-associated rash illness), and are associated with alpha-gal syndrome, a food allergy to red meat.
Brown Dog Ticks
The brown dog tick is a common tick species found throughout the United States, including parts of New England. Adults are reddish-brown and about the size of a sunflower seed, while the smaller nymphs can be difficult to spot on both pets and people. Unlike many other ticks, brown dog ticks prefer dogs as hosts, but they will bite humans if given the opportunity. They are known carriers of canine ehrlichiosis and babesiosis and can contribute to skin irritation and infection in pets.
Where We Spray for Ticks Your Property
Ticks are active from early spring through fall. While some ticks go dormant during the winter, deer ticks remain active as long as the temperature is above freezing. Ticks thrive in shaded, damp areas where they can easily find a host. Common hotspots include:
- Leaf litter, mulch beds, and fallen pine needles
- Borders between lawns and wooded areas
- Dense shrubs and tree cover that trap humidity
- Stone walls, woodpiles, and garden structures
- Shaded spaces under decks and patios
Protect & Prevent
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
Can you spray your yard for ticks?
Our treatments are performed every 21 days using Progaea TMpro, an all-natural product comprised of essential oils and soap. This solution starts to biodegrade after three weeks and dries within 45 minutes of application, making it resistant to rain.
When to spray for ticks?
Ticks become active when temperatures rise above freezing. Our standard tick control season runs from March to December and can be customized to meet your specific needs, with increased treatments during peak tick and mosquito season. Keep in mind that ticks breed in the fall and lay eggs in spring, so getting ahead of the problem with preventive treatments in late fall and early spring can help prevent hatching on your property.
Does tick spray work?
Our Progaea TMPro tick and mosquito control product effectively eliminates and repels these pests from the treated area using all-natural essential oils. These oils not only kill ticks and mosquitoes upon contact, but also provide a lasting repellent effect. Uniquely, our product boasts a residual killing efficacy on ticks and mosquitoes comparable to synthetic pesticides, making it one of the few all-natural options with such effectiveness.
Spraying for ticks can be an effective way to control their population in outdoor spaces. To do this, you’ll need to start by selecting a pesticide that’s specifically labeled for tick control and is safe for use in outdoor environments. Be sure to target areas where ticks are most likely to reside, such as tall grass, bushes, and shady areas. Finally, monitor the treated areas regularly and reapply the pesticide as necessary to maintain control over the tick population. At Pure Solutions we use an all-natural solution to eliminate ticks and recommend re-apply at a 21 day frequency.
All natural tick sprays use natural ingredients, such as essential oils, to repel ticks and other pests. These ingredients have been shown to be effective at deterring and eliminating ticks. By using all natural tick sprays, individuals can avoid exposure to harsh chemicals commonly found in conventional tick sprays while still protecting themselves against tick bites and the diseases they can transmit.
The odds of a tick carrying a disease depend on various factors, such as the geographic location, the type of tick, and the prevalence of the disease in the tick population. Some species of ticks are more likely to carry certain diseases than others. For example, the black-legged tick (also known as the deer tick) is a known carrier of Lyme disease, while the Lone Star tick is known to carry diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and southern tick-associated rash illness .It is important to take precautions when spending time in areas where ticks are prevalent, such as wearing protective clothing, using insect repellent, and checking yourself for ticks regularly.
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.
We use an EPA 25b all-natural product called Progaea TMpro. This product is exclusive to Pure Solutions and is comprised of essential oils and soap. This product kills ticks & mosquitoes on contact and provides residual protection once dry.
Ticks can be active as long as tempteratures 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.
