First and foremost is education. Our goal is to provide you with professional services, current & comprehensive educational materials, and internet resources to protect you and your family against vector-borne diseases including Lyme disease & coinfections [Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichiosis], EEE and West Nile Virus.  Each year, Mainely Ticks hosts a number of informational meetings for interested community groups and distribute tick identification cards to residents throughout Southern Maine.

Tick & Mosquito Spray Programs.  There are four peak periods in which various stages of deer ticks appear in southern Maine. Our four spray tick program targets adults in mid April, nymphs in mid June, larvae in early August, and adults again in September and October. Our spray program targets these specific stages of tick development and is the most immediate & effective tick control method. See map for distribution of deer ticks submitted to Maine Medical Vector-Borne Laboratory for identification in Maine 1989-2006.   Our mosquito treatment program begins in mid May and will significantly reduce the number of mosquitoes on your property for up to three weeks per application.

Deer Repellent.  Do you routinely see deer on or around your property?  Deer are the primary host for adult deer ticks, so discouraging deer from feeding on your plants and vegetation can aid in reducing the tick population as well as reducing damage to your plants.

Party Spray. Planning an outdoor graduation reception?  How about a birthday party, family gathering or summer reunion? Our one time party spray will significantly reduce the number of ticks, mosquitoes and other insects invited to your function, making for a safer and more enjoyable gathering.
