Safe, Effective, and 100% Natural Protection for Your Home & Family

Ticks and mosquitoes aren’t just annoying; they’re dangerous. At The Yard Gard, we offer professional mosquito and tick control in South Yarmouth and across Cape Cod, helping families, pets, and local ecosystems thrive without the use of harsh chemicals. Our eco-conscious approach gives you long-lasting protection and peace of mind, all while supporting a greener, healthier environment.

Why Tick & Mosquito Control Is Essential in Massachusetts?

Ticks and mosquitoes are more than seasonal irritants; they’re disease carriers that pose serious health threats to both humans and animals. Living in Massachusetts, particularly in Cape Cod, means increased exposure to:

  • Deer ticks, known for spreading Lyme disease, babesiosis, and anaplasmosis

  • Mosquitoes that carry West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), and heartworm (for pets)

  • Rapidly multiplying pest populations due to damp coastal conditions

With these risks in mind, mosquito and tick control is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity for anyone who wants to enjoy their backyard safely.

Organic Pest Control That Actually Works

At The Yard Gard, we specialize in organic tick and mosquito control solutions designed to eliminate pests without endangering your family, pets, or the environment. Our treatments don’t just mask the problem; they stop pests at the source with naturally derived repellents proven to deter insects effectively.

The Yard Gard Difference

  • 100% Organic & Non-Toxic Ingredients

  • Family and Pet-Safe Applications

  • Locally Owned and Operated on Cape Cod

  • Tailored Programs Based on Property Size & Needs

  • Licensed and Experienced Technicians

Our eco-friendly sprays use a blend of essential oils and natural substances such as cedarwood, rosemary, and peppermint, that are scientifically backed pest-repelling properties.

How Our Mosquito and Tick Control Works

Our four-step approach ensures that your yard receives the highest level of protection without compromising your safety or the health of your landscape.

Step 1: Inspection & Assessment

We begin by inspecting your property to locate areas where ticks and mosquitoes breed, rest, or hide. This includes:

  • Tall grass and overgrown shrubbery

  • Leaf piles and shaded areas

  • Damp or standing water zones

  • Pet play areas and walkways

Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan

Based on our findings, we craft a custom organic pest control plan specific to your yard’s environment, layout, and vegetation type.

Step 3: Application of Organic Spray

Using professional-grade equipment, we apply our organic tick and mosquito spray to the identified target zones. These treatments:

  • Create a residual barrier on vegetation and surfaces

  • Repel and kill adult insects

  • Interrupt egg-laying and breeding cycles

  • Leave behind a pleasant, natural scent

Step 4: Ongoing Maintenance & Reapplication

For optimal effectiveness, treatments are reapplied every 2 to 3 weeks during peak mosquito and tick season (typically April through October in Cape Cod). Each visit keeps pest populations in check and prevents reinfestation.

Benefits of Choosing Tick & Mosquito Control

1. Safe for Children and Pets

Unlike conventional pesticides that contain synthetic neurotoxins, our sprays rely on natural essential oils that pose no harm to kids or furry friends. Your pets can play outside immediately after treatment without concern.

2. Eco-Conscious Approach

Protecting your yard doesn’t have to come at the expense of nature. Our biodegradable sprays won’t pollute local waterways or disrupt beneficial insects like bees and butterflies.

3. Long-Lasting Relief

Our treatments offer residual control between visits, with each layer building stronger resistance to pest reinfestation.

4. No Harsh Odors or Chemical Residue

You won’t have to worry about lingering chemical smells or slippery surfaces. Our sprays dry quickly and leave your yard smelling fresh and natural.

5. Increased Enjoyment of Your Outdoor Spaces

You invested in your landscape, now enjoy it. Host summer barbecues, let your kids run barefoot, and relax by the garden without constantly swatting bugs or worrying about bites.

Common Areas We Treat

We provide comprehensive mosquito and tick control services for the following outdoor zones:

  • Lawns and open grass

  • Garden beds

  • Perimeter foundations

  • Fences and wooded areas

  • Patios, decks, and seating areas

  • Playgrounds and recreational equipment

  • Dog runs and pet paths

  • Poolsides and water features

Whether you have a small residential lawn or a sprawling estate, we scale our services to meet your needs.

Mosquito & Tick Risks You Can Avoid

Understanding the dangers these pests pose can help you see the value of year-round prevention.

Tick-Borne Illnesses

  • Lyme Disease

  • Anaplasmosis

  • Babesiosis

  • Powassan Virus

Symptoms in humans include fatigue, fever, joint pain, and, in extreme cases, neurological damage.

Mosquito-Transmitted Threats

  • West Nile Virus

  • EEE (Eastern Equine Encephalitis)

  • Zika Virus

  • Heartworm (for dogs and cats)

For families living in wooded, coastal, or marshy areas of Cape Cod, prevention is the only reliable safeguard.

Protecting Pets from Tick & Mosquito Exposure

Your pets are part of your family, and just as vulnerable to bites. Ticks love latching onto furry coats, and mosquitoes are known to transmit heartworm larvae through a single bite. Our pet-safe mosquito and tick control ensures your outdoor companions remain protected without the dangers of synthetic pesticide exposure.

We target the areas pets frequent most, fences, doghouses, dog runs, and lounging areas, to ensure no hidden pests put them at risk.

When Should You Start Treatments?

Tick and mosquito season in Cape Cod typically runs from early spring through late fall, peaking in the summer. For best results, we recommend starting treatments in March or April and continuing through October. However, even a late-season application can significantly reduce pest populations before winter.

  • Cedarwood Oil – Repels ticks and interrupts their neurological function
