Mosquito & Tick Program

Standard service covers up to 1 acre. Larger properties and 1x special event treatments will require an estimate. Per NYS Law, Critter Ridders needs to receive a signed contract from the property owner before any lawn treatments can be scheduled. Bushes & trees can be retreated after 7 days, if necessary. Lawns can be retreated after 14 days.

Details about our Mosquito & Tick Program:

  • Everyone, including pets, should stay off the treated areas for 30 minutes – 2 hours or until dry. If it’s a hot, sunny day the material will dry faster than if it is a cloudy, overcast day.

  • Yellow Caution Flags are required at points of entry to the treated area. Flags may be removed after 24 hours.

  • On some properties our Technicians will use a ride on sprayer. On others we will manually treat with our high-pressure sprayers. Both treatments are effective in freeing your lawn from these blood sucking pests.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Where do you spray?

    Landscaping, bushes, tall grass, trees, leaf piles, under decks, around the foundation of your home and mowed areas.
    * Generally, ticks do not live in mowed areas. However, in rural locations with a higher population of wildlife, we will treat these areas.

  • Why do I have to sign a contract?

    For applications to lawns, trees, and bushes NYS Law requires a contract.

  • Why do you need to treat every 18-24 days?

    Pesticides break down quickly when applied to trees, plants, and lawns. Generally, mosquitoes live 2-3 weeks.

  • What is your rain policy

    Treatments can be done before or after, but not while it is raining. Please allow 30 minutes to 2 hours for the product to dry. Additionally, we add an adhesive (Surf AC) to increase pesticide resiliency.
