Maury County — Mosquito & Tick Control
Professional mosquito, flea & tick yard treatment for Neapolis homeowners, delivered by Middle Tennessee's only UT Certified lawn treatment specialists.
If you're dealing with mosquitoes and ticks around your Neapolis property, you know it's more than just an annoyance. Off the main roads, the mix of older wooded lots and new clearings creates perfect shaded habitat for these pests. You want to enjoy your yard along Hwy 31 without being a buffet, and you need a solution that doesn't harm the pollinators visiting your landscape.
Mosquitoes and ticks are a fact of life around Neapolis, especially as new development meets the existing tree lines. That shaded canopy behind your house, or the ornamental shrubs the deer love to browse near, are exactly where these pests thrive during our hot, humid days. They aren’t hiding out in your open lawn. Standard treatments often spray everything, which is both wasteful and, when using harsh chemicals, harmful to bees and other beneficial insects. I built this service because I wouldn’t offer it unless I could do it right, bee-safe and without needing a respirator, period.
After testing countless products, I had to mix my own formulation to hit my standards. I use a blend of cedar oil, garlic oil, peppermint oil, and a specific soap. This custom mix controls pests effectively but does not kill bees, which is why I can legally and ethically treat flowering plants. That’s critical, because to get rid of mosquitoes, you must treat the underside of leaves in landscaped areas where they hide from the sun. My low-volume backpack mist blower lets me aim upward into your shrubs and trees, precisely coating that habitat. For ticks, which are brought in by deer feeding on your plants like arborvitae, it’s the same target area, so one application handles both.
The first thing I do for any new Neapolis customer is a walk-through to find every source of standing water, from birdbaths and planter saucers to low spots in the yard. This step is non-negotiable for breaking the mosquito breeding cycle. For permanent water features that can’t be emptied, I use bacteria tablets (mosquito dunks) that safely target only mosquito larvae. This integrated approach, eliminating breeding sites and then treating the adult hiding spots, is what delivers real, lasting relief for your property, whether you’re on an older acreage near the growth corridor or in a newer subdivision.
If you have a dedicated pollinator garden, I simply adjust my protocol out of an abundance of caution. For those specific plantings, I use a version of my mix without the peppermint oil. My standard cedar and garlic oil base is perfectly safe for pollinators, but this extra step ensures absolutely no disruption to those beneficial insects. You can have effective pest control and maintain a healthy pollinator habitat; we just need to communicate about where those special areas are on your property.
The I-65 corridor's abundant rainfall, warm temperatures, and lush vegetation create perfect habitat for mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. Standing water in Middle Tennessee's clay soils provides breeding sites for mosquitoes, while the region's deer population supports high tick numbers. Properties near creeks, wooded areas, or with dense landscaping are particularly vulnerable.

No. My custom botanical mix is specifically designed to be bee-safe. This allows me to treat flowering plants legally and ethically, which is required for complete mosquito control since they hide in those shaded landscaped areas.
Ticks aren't reproducing in your mowed lawn; they're dropped by deer. My treatment targets the landscaped areas deer feed on, like shrubs and ornamental plants, which is the same habitat mosquitoes use. Controlling one effectively controls the other.
For consistent control through our peak season, I recommend treatments every 3-4 weeks from late spring through early fall. The botanical oils break down naturally over time, unlike synthetic residuals, which is better for the environment but requires more frequent application.
Absolutely. We focus on creating a protective zone around your active living areas. We treat the landscaped perimeter of your yard up to about 20 feet high in the tree canopy. This manages the pests coming from the woodland edge into your usable space.
