Giles County — Mosquito & Tick Control
Professional mosquito, flea & tick yard treatment for Pulaski homeowners, delivered by Middle Tennessee's only UT Certified lawn treatment specialists.
You can't enjoy your backyard in Pulaski if it's a bug sanctuary. Those humid evenings by the deck turn into a swatting contest, and you worry about ticks from the deer that come through your yard. The standard sprays make you nervous for your flowers and the bees. I get it.
Living south of Columbia, your mature trees and landscaped beds in neighborhoods like Westwood or off Sam Davis Avenue create perfect daytime hiding spots for mosquitoes. They're not out in your open lawn when the sun is high; they're tucked on the underside of leaves in your shaded areas, waiting for dusk. Standard spray treatments that drench everything miss this target and often use chemicals that are illegal on flowering plants. I use a different approach.
I couldn't find a commercial product that worked well and was safe for pollinators, so I mixed my own. My treatment uses cedar oil, garlic oil, peppermint oil, and a specific soap. It's effective against mosquitoes and ticks, but it won't harm bees, which is why I can legally and ethically spray your flowering plants like hydrangeas or crepe myrtles. This lets me get complete coverage where mosquitoes actually hide, something most services can't do. I also wear no respirator to apply it.
Ticks don't live in your mowed fescue lawn. They're brought in by deer that come to browse on your landscape plants, especially favorites like arborvitaes near the Giles County Agricultural Park or in older yards off Columbia Avenue. When those deer stop to feed, ticks drop off. Since mosquitoes hide in those same shaded shrubs and trees, one application treats both problems. I use an Echo backpack mist blower with the outlet pointed upward to coat the underside of leaves where these pests are.
The service starts with a walk of your property to find and address standing water sources, from birdbaths to clogged gutters. For permanent water, I use bacterial mosquito dunks that are safe for everything but larvae. By late May, before the heavy Pulaski humidity sets in for good, is the ideal time to start. This isn't a blanket chemical dump; it's a targeted, responsible program so you can actually use your yard.
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.

Yes. My custom botanical mix is made from food-grade oils and soap. While I avoid directly spraying edible leaves as a best practice, the formulation itself poses no harmful residual risk to your garden like synthetic pesticides would.
The treatment kills ticks on contact in the landscaped areas where deer drop them. It doesn't repel deer, but it eliminates the tick habitat in your yard. By treating the shrubs and plants deer browse, we break the cycle and significantly reduce the tick population on your property.
For effective control through our peak season, treatments are applied every 3-4 weeks from May through September. The botanical oils break down naturally in sunlight and weather, so regular reapplications are needed to maintain control during the humid summer months.
Absolutely. Just point out your pollinator plants to me. For those specific areas, I use an even more cautious version of my mix that omits peppermint oil. This allows you to protect both your pollinators and your family from mosquitoes and ticks.
