While many other tick control companies have a similar motto, most will try to sell you as many applications as possible to eliminate your tick infestation. I will never offer an unnecessary tick treatment, and I will be the only applicator of product to your property, meaning you don't have to worry about somebody who isn't fully invested in the outcome of the treatment.</span></span></h2><span itemprop="articleBody" style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I started in 2009, specializing in tick control, diagnosing and treating biotic disorders of trees and shrubs, including fungal diseases and various insect pests, and treating trees and shrubs for nutrient deficiencies. I believe in an Integrated Pest Management approach to dealing with biotic disorders, which means I believe in the judicious use of pesticides, and consider their impact on the environment, instead of arbitrarily applying them. I also offer winter deer repellent applications.</div></span><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.whiteoakhorticulturalservices.com/p/conta.html" target="_blank">Contact</a> me today for a free consultation.</span></div>

Winter seems to arrive earlier and earlier each year, which means less food for deer in their natural habitats. Plants like arborvitae are particularly susceptible to deer feeding in winter. Luckily my combination of deer repellent spray and wilt-proof last up to six months, protecting your landscape investment all winter long. <a href="https://www.whiteoakhorticulturalservices.com/p/conta.html" target="_blank">Please contact me if you would like more information.</a></div>

Winter also means evergreen plants start looking like this. Plants need moisture to survive but when the ground freezes they are unable to access it. The use of an anti-desiccant spray locks the leaves moisture within and protects the foliage from damaging winter winds. Late Fall is the best time to protect your evergreens, once the ground freezes it may be too late. <a href="https://www.whiteoakhorticulturalservices.com/p/conta.html" target="_blank">Schedule a free consult today.</a></div>

Although ticks become less active in these colder months of Winter, they are not completely dormant. Be sure to protect yourself and your loved ones by performing a tick check.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Check your clothing for ticks before re-entering your home. Ticks can be carried inside and find a host later on. If you do not spot any but are concerned because you were in a heavily wooded area, place your clothes in the dryer, 10 minutes on high heat will kill any tick. </li>
<li>Shower soon after returning. Showering may rinse off any ticks that have not yet attached to feed. </li>
<li>Check your entire body for any ticks you may have missed and run a comb through your hair. Use a full length mirror and pay special attention to armpits, behind your knees, around your ears, belly button, and between your legs. </li>
</ul>

This is a picture of a tick's mouth parts. A tick's mouth is designed to embed itself into your skin without you feeling it. <a href="http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2013/10/30/heres-what-happens-when-a-tick-bites-you/" target="_blank">Here</a> is what happens when a tick bites you. Once it bites, it begins to release a chemical that numbs your skin so that it can remain there for as long as possible. The longer it stays attached the more bacteria and disease it can spread. In order to remove an embedded tick, you should use fine tipped tweezers. Grasp it as close to your skin as possible and pull it straight up. DO NOT TWIST! You do not want that thing remaining inside you. Once it's removed you should clean the area with soap and water. The best way to avoid a tick bite is to avoid heavily tick infested areas. If that is not an option, wear long pants and sleeves and use an insect repellent containing DEET. </div>

Protecting your property, however, is as easy as <a href="http://www.whiteoakhorticulturalservices.com/p/conta.html" target="_blank">clicking here</a>. Professionally applied barrier tick spraying can eliminate 98% or more of the tick population on your property. Tick spray treatments are applied to wooded areas that border your property. That is where the majority of ticks live and wait to enter your yard. Treatments are 100% safe upon drying.</div>

<div>
A high powered sprayer is required to move around leaf litter in order for the product to come in contact with ticks and kill them. Hand held and back pack sprayers simply do not get the job done. Gas powered backpack mist blowers are a better option to other handheld sprayers but still do not penetrate as effectively as as a high powered hose sprayer. My product is completely safe once dry and will not leach into the soil, so it can not contaminate ground water. <a href="http://www.whiteoakhorticulturalservices.com/p/conta.html" target="_blank">Contact me today for a free consultation.</a></div>

Tick Spraying Season is right around the corner </h2>
<br />
Tick activity will begin to pick up once the temperatures warm up. Each adult tick that was on your property last fall potentially laid 500 eggs making Spring the best time to eliminate as many ticks as possible. Don't wait for one of those parasites to find you or your loved ones. Contact White Oak Horticultural Services at 203-217-6875 today for a free estimate.
