Staten Island Tick and Mosquito Control Services
Bite Back gives Staten Island families a simple way to choose all-natural mosquito and tick protection. Shield is the core seasonal program for many yards. Shield Plus adds all-natural granular tick support for properties with more wooded edge, deer movement, pets, dense shade, or repeated tick pressure.
Built for Staten Island yards: shaded landscaping, wooded borders, pools, patios, pet routes, deer movement, coastal humidity, standing-water risks, and the outdoor spaces your family actually uses.

Two Protection Levels, One Staten Island-Focused Process
Every Bite Back Staten Island plan is built around the same idea: target the places where mosquitoes and ticks live, rest, hide, travel, 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 Staten 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
Choose based on pressure level, not just yard size. A smaller Staten Island yard with dense shade, wooded edges, deer activity, or repeated tick pressure may need more support than a larger open yard with better airflow.

Choose Based on the Yard, Not Just the Address
Staten 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 normal seasonal mosquito and tick pressure, patios, pools, pets, play areas, landscaping, and no major recurring tick problem.
Choose Shield Plus if
Your yard has wooded borders, deer movement, heavy shade, dogs, larger perimeter areas, repeat tick sightings, or dense edge habitat.
Prepay if you want simplicity
Prepay is available with either Shield or Shield Plus for customers who want simple billing and seasonal savings.
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 Richmond County Yard Conditions
Staten Island is one borough, but yard conditions change dramatically by neighborhood. South Shore properties can add larger lots, woods, wetlands, deer movement, and coastal moisture. Mid-Island and North Shore yards may have mature trees, dense shade, greenbelt influence, and older landscaping. East Shore properties often combine pools, patios, irrigation, drainage, and humidity.
Tottenville, Huguenot, Annadale, Eltingville, Great Kills, Rossville, Woodrow, Arden Heights, and surrounding neighborhoods.
New Springville, Richmondtown, New Dorp, Todt Hill, Westerleigh, Dongan Hills, South Beach, and surrounding Staten Island neighborhoods.
Coverage note: Service is confirmed by exact Staten Island address, current route availability, seasonal demand, property access, and yard conditions.
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.
All-Natural Service With a Targeted Method
Bite Back Staten Island uses all-natural essential-oil-based minimum-risk products and focuses application on pest habitat. Product choice matters, but where and how the property is treated matters too.
We target shaded edges, damp pockets, wooded borders, brush, fence lines, under decks, dense landscaping, pool landscaping, patios, and other areas where mosquitoes and ticks are more likely to live or rest.
Pollinator-aware notes
We avoid focusing 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 pet notes, gate access, playsets, pools, gardens, standing water, and any areas you do not want treated before your first service.
