27 Apr Ticks, Mosquitos, Ants, Flies, Oh My!
It’s April. The Start of Another Season on The East End
My name is Gordon Andrews. I have owned and operated Fertilawn on Eastern Long Island for 40 years. I have seen a few East End summers, and I think many of you are probably trying to decide on a landscaping company. There are many choices. Why should you choose us? Well, we are a full-service landscaping company. That means we do it all: lawn and plant healthcare, landscape design, installation and maintenance, pest control, irrigation, and tree services. We are a one-stop shop, so you don’t have to juggle different companies. Believe me, it’s nice to have one landscape person on whom you can rely. And at Fertilawn, that’s me.
Now Is the Time to Treat for Ticks and Other Pests
Life on the East End of Long Island begins to buzz around this time of year, and unfortunately, so do unwanted visitors like ticks and mosquitos. I know because I live and have raised a family here. My company has decades of experience protecting East End homes and families from disease and other illnesses that ticks, mosquitos, ants, flies, and other insects can bring. Let me tell you…NOW is the time to treat and protect your property.
Prevent Lyme Disease and the Spread of Tick-Borne Illnesses
Lyme disease is no joke. Protecting yourself against ticks on Eastern Long Island is crucial. New York State has an average of more than 5,500 new cases each year, with the number increasing in recent years. https://www.health.ny.gov/press/releases/2019/2019-05-24_lyme_and_ticks.htm In addition to taking basic precautions such as checking your body for ticks and wearing long sleeves and pants when in the garden, consider calling me at 631-728-5815 to add Fertilawn’s Lyme Disease and Tick-borne Illnesses Application Program to your arsenal of protection this summer.
Mosquitos Are A Nuisance and a Health Threat
The most common mosquito in New York is Culex pipiens, which feeds at dusk, night and dawn and can spread West Nile virus and eastern equine encephalitis. https://www.health.ny.gov/publications/2731/ Fertilawn’s Mosquito Repellants and Control Program will minimize exposure to these bloodsuckers and provide a safe environment for your family and friends.
Fertilawn Will Add Another Layer of Protection for your Family
Whether you are a summer visitor or a year-round resident, we all love summer on the East End. Enjoying the warmer months can be more pleasurable without unwanted visitors flying, buzzing, attaching, and foraging around your plants and property. I would be happy to talk with you to explain how we can do it all safely, effectively, and economically.
Happy Spring!
