Mosquito & Tick Spraying Norfolk, MA

You should not have to choose between the back yard and Lyme disease

Looking for mosquito & tick spraying in Norfolk, MA? Ten Four Landscape & Construction has handled it for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Norfolk County since 2012. Our Wrentham yard is also about twenty minutes away.

Mosquito and tick spraying is a health service as much as a comfort one. Norfolk County has some of the highest tick-borne disease rates in the state, and mosquitoes make a summer evening on the patio miserable. Most properties here back up to exactly the woods, stone walls and wetlands where both thrive. Norfolk homeowners have relied on us as their local landscaper for years. So we bring that same approach to every mosquito & tick spraying job in town.

We apply a barrier treatment to the places that matter: the wood line, brush, tall grass edges, stone walls and under decks. The treatment also covers the foundation plantings and the shady, damp spots mosquitoes rest in during the day. We time treatments every three to four weeks from late spring through the first frost. You can also add an early-season and late-fall tick treatment to catch the nymphs and adults when they are most active.

Why Norfolk, MA homeowners call Ten Four for Mosquito & Tick Spraying

Norfolk is a small, wooded residential town directly north of our Wrentham yard, so we are in Norfolk almost every week. Most properties here are single-family homes on generous lots: subdivisions built from the 1980s onward, and older homes along Main Street near the town center and the MBTA station. There are also rural parcels out toward the Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary and the Charles River side of town.

The ground in Norfolk is a mix of rocky glacial till on the uplands and wet, peaty soil in the lowlands. That wet ground sits near the Stop River, the Charles River and the ponds. Many lots have a high seasonal water table. It shows up as a soggy lawn in April, a heaving walkway in March and water in the basement after a thaw. Nearly every home is on a septic system, so we plan equipment routes and any excavation around the leach field before we start.

• Dramatically fewer mosquitoes on the patio and in the yard
