How we treat a yard
Target the Hot Zones. Don’t Blanket the Lawn.
Mosquitoes and ticks do not use every inch of a property the same way. Our Staten Island service focuses on the shaded, protected, damp, wooded, and high-use areas where pressure is most likely to build.
Mosquito resting zones
Dense shrubs, foundation beds, under decks, shaded landscaping, fence lines, and other protected areas can hold mosquitoes during the day.
Tick travel zones
Wooded borders, brush, leaf litter, ground cover, deer paths, pet routes, and shaded property edges are key areas for targeted tick control.
Standing-water support
When standing water is present, we address it during service and flag conditions that may allow mosquito breeding to rebuild between visits.
Family-use areas
Patios, pool zones, play areas, pet spaces, seating areas, and the routes your family uses most help guide how each property is treated.

Why Bite Back exists
Built on the Kind of Property Ticks and Mosquitoes Love
Bite Back started with a simple problem: finding mosquito and tick control we felt comfortable using around our own family. The process was tested and refined on a property surrounded by woods and water — exactly the kind of environment where mosquitoes and ticks have every advantage.
That same treatment philosophy now guides how we approach Staten Island properties with shade, woods, coastal moisture, pets, pools, dense landscaping, and heavy seasonal pressure.
15+years testing and refining the process on a high-pressure wooded and water-adjacent property
Service plans
Two Plans. One All-Natural Approach.
Shield is our core combined mosquito and tick program. Shield Plus adds Nature-Cide Granular Plus for properties where ticks need another layer of support at ground level.
Shield
Steady seasonal mosquito and tick protection for many Staten Island yards.
Shield targets the shaded edges, shrubs, foundation beds, fence lines, pet paths, pool and patio borders, wooded transitions, and other hot zones where mosquitoes and ticks are most likely to create problems.
Combined mosquito and tick treatment
Typically scheduled about every 21 days
Targeted treatment instead of blanket open-lawn spraying
Maximum Protection
Shield Plus
Our stronger tick-focused option for wooded, shaded, wildlife-traveled, and higher-pressure properties.
Shield Plus includes everything in Shield plus Nature-Cide Granular Plus applied about every 6 weeks. The granular layer settles into ground-level habitat where ticks travel and shelter — including leaf litter, property edges, wooded transitions, dense ground cover, fence lines, and wildlife corridors — giving the program another way to support areas that can be difficult to reach thoroughly with liquid treatment alone.
Added ground-level tick support
Especially valuable with woods, deer traffic, pets, shade, or dense vegetation
A stronger starting point for higher-pressure Staten Island properties

Bite Back uses essential-oil-based minimum-risk products and blends. Cedar oil and geraniol are two ingredients we commonly use.
