Two Protection Levels, One Long Island-Focused Process
Every Bite Back Long Island plan is built around the same idea: target the places where ticks and mosquitoes live, rest, hide, and rebuild. The difference is the protection level. Shield is the core seasonal program. Shield Plus adds granular perimeter support for properties with more pressure.
Choose Your Long Island Protection Level
Most yards start with Shield. Higher-pressure properties with woods, deer, pets, shaded borders, or repeat tick concerns often choose Shield Plus.

Shield vs. Shield Plus vs. Prepay
Choose based on pressure level, not just yard size. A smaller yard with dense shade and deer activity may need more support than a larger open yard with good airflow.

Choose Based on the Yard, Not Just the Address
Long Island pest pressure changes street by street. The right program depends on shade, water, deer, pets, woods, drainage, and how your family uses the property.
Choose Shield if
Your yard has typical seasonal mosquito and tick pressure, outdoor living areas, pets, patios, and normal landscaping, but no major wooded or deer-heavy pressure.
Choose Shield Plus if
Your yard has wooded borders, dense shade, heavy tick history, deer traffic, pets, leaf litter, brush, wetlands nearby, or repeat activity around the edges.
Choose Prepay if
You know you want the full season, want the best seasonal value, and prefer simple billing with coverage already handled.
Where We Focus During Service
The middle of the lawn is usually not the source. Tick and mosquito pressure usually comes from shade, moisture, edges, brush, leaf litter, and protected resting areas.
Mosquito service zones
- ✓Shaded shrubs, foundation beds, and dense landscaping.
- ✓Under decks, steps, shaded structures, and damp corners.
- ✓Pool areas, patios, outdoor seating, grills, and play spaces.
- ✓Standing water risks like toys, covers, containers, gutters, and drains.
Tick service zones
- ✓Woodlines, brush edges, fence lines, and leaf litter.
- ✓Pet paths, playset borders, gates, sheds, and shaded side yards.
- ✓Areas where deer, rodents, and wildlife move through the property.
- ✓Transitions where the lawn meets woods, shrubs, or dense groundcover.
Built for Nassau and Suffolk County Yard Patterns
Long Island is not one type of yard. Nassau County often has tighter landscaped properties, while Suffolk County can add larger lots, wooded borders, wetlands, deer movement, and East End seasonal use.
North Shore shade, South Shore moisture, Central Nassau landscaping, patios, pools, pets, and tighter suburban yards.
Wooded borders, deer movement, larger lots, wetlands, South Shore humidity, North Fork vegetation, and East End outdoor living.
Coverage note: We serve Long Island from Holbrook, NY. Route availability depends on your exact address, season timing, and current demand.
Protected by the Bite Back Guarantee
We stand behind the program, and we review customer concerns fairly. If activity does not feel right, we look at service timing, property conditions, weather, access, and the hot zones where the pressure is happening.
What can affect results?
Standing water, clogged gutters, neglected pools, heavy overgrowth, leaf litter, blocked access, wildlife, wetlands, and neighboring untreated hot spots can rebuild pressure between visits. The guarantee process helps determine the right next step.
Plant-Based Service With a Targeted Method
Bite Back Long Island uses plant-based, EPA 25(b) exempt products and focuses application on pest habitat. Product choice matters, but technique matters too.
We target the places pests hide and rest, like shaded edges, damp pockets, brush lines, fence lines, under decks, and dense landscaping near the outdoor spaces your family uses.
Pollinator-aware notes
We do not focus treatment on flowering plants where pollinators are active. If you have beehives, pollinator gardens, vegetables, herbs, ponds, or sensitive landscaping, tell us before service so those notes are on your account.
Helpful tip: Share pets, gate codes, playsets, pools, gardens, and any areas you do not want treated before your first service.
