Organic & Hybrid Options

Love nature but not insects?

Our organic solution is cedar-based, with biologically derived ingredients that target mosquitos and ticks where they rest. The spray adheres to outdoor surfaces to create a barrier that gets stronger with each application. A season plan is 8 applications, one every 3 weeks. Keep kids and pets off treated areas until the spray dries: 60 minutes for organic, 2 hours for chemical.

“Very happy with the service from South Shore Mosquito & Tick Control. Ben was easy to work with, and communication about applications was excellent. We spotted a few ticks early in the season, but didn’t see any once we started treatment. The mosquito treatments also made a noticeable difference throughout the summer. We weren’t 100% bug-free, but the mosquitoes were definitely kept under control, which made spending time outside much more enjoyable. I also found the pricing to be very reasonable for the service provided. The technicians were efficient, professional, and respectful of our property. We’ve used another company in the past, but I much prefer South Shore Mosquito & Tick Control. It’s great to support a local small business that provides excellent communication, reliable service, reasonable pricing, and an easy-to-use payment portal. Highly recommend!”

“Ben is honest, reliable, and stands behind his products. This company is the backbone of America. If we lose small businesses in the USA along with our farmland, cattle ranches, oil & gas resources, we will become a 2nd China government. You can trust this company.”

“Four years and running we've used South shore mosquito and tick for our yard and we couldn't be more pleased to keep coming back. Their organic mosquito spray works great and is safe for our yard while they also handle our ant issues as well. For the best service they are the people to call.”

“We have been using South Shore Mosquito & Tick Control for a couple years and have been very pleased. We were looking for an organic treatment for bugs and ticks because of our dog. The treatments definitely work! Now that the weather is getting warmer we are spending more time outside and we have not seen or gotten bit by any mosquitoes. I would highly recommend South Shore Mosquito & Tick Control.”

“I swapped over to SSMT from a much larger company. SSMT took all the concern seriously. When I had a major tick issue, they came back and did an extra spraying. Great company and I highly recommend them. Go local!”

Mosquito control costs typically range from $75 to $250 per application depending on yard size and treatment type. We offer organic, chemical, and hybrid options at different price points — and you can pay per application or save by prepaying for the season.
Once the spray has dried: 60 minutes for our organic cedar-based treatment and 2 hours for chemical treatments. Bring toys and water bowls inside before the visit. We never spray flowering plants directly.
Yes, professional mosquito spraying works, and our service record shows it: 98% of our visits need no follow-up. Our barrier spray treatment paralyzes and kills mosquitoes and ticks on contact, then continues working for up to 3 weeks. Regular treatments every 21 days maintain continuous protection throughout the season. If you're ever not satisfied between treatments, we'll come back and respray at no charge.
The best tick spray for yards is a professional barrier treatment applied to the perimeter, fence lines, woodlines, and shaded areas where ticks live. DIY sprays from hardware stores only last a few days. Our professional-grade organic and chemical options kill ticks on contact and provide weeks of residual protection along the edges of your yard where ticks wait.
In Massachusetts, mosquito treatment should start in mid-April when temperatures consistently reach 50°F. The mosquito season runs April through October, with peak activity June through August. Starting early prevents the first generation from breeding on your property. For ticks, treatment should begin even earlier — as soon as the snow melts — since deer ticks can be active at temperatures just above freezing.
You should spray for mosquitoes every 3 weeks (21 days) for consistent protection. We recommend 8 applications per season from April to October. All of our solutions — organic and chemical alike — last about 3 weeks per application, which is exactly why we spray on that cycle. Some customers add 1–2 extra treatments in late season depending on fall weather conditions.
