So when it comes to living on Long Island and enjoying the outdoors, ticks are some of our customers’ main concerns. Of course we would love to be able to sit out in the yard on a beautiful summer day and enjoy a BBQ or party, or just a lazy day in the Long Island sun. It’s a shame that while sun bathing we need to worry about searching our bodies for ticks, or that while watching our children play in our backyards we worry about them contracting Lyme Disease from an infected Deer Tick. We at Alternative Earthcare want to ease that worry and help you to simply enjoy the time spent in your own yard.

The Dangers of Tick Bites:

Deer Ticks are popular across Long Island and can carry a lot of diseases that affect humans, such as Lyme’s Disease, Babesiosis and Powassan Virus.

Lyme’s Disease

Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans through a bite from infected deer ticks and blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes pacificus). Typical symptoms include fever, headache and fatigue

Babesiosis:

Babesiosis is caused by microscopic parasites that infect red blood cells. Babesia microti is spread by blacklegged ticks or deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis). It mainly occurs in parts of the Northeast and upper Midwest; and it usually peaks during the warm months.

Babesosis infection can range in its severity from just some symptoms of sickness to life threatening illness. The infection is both preventable and treatable.

Powassan Virus:

Powassan (POW) virus causes a rare but serious disease and is transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. It was first identified in 1958 and named after Powassan, Ontario, the town of its discovery.

“Ixodes Cookei” , commonly known as the groundhog tick or woodchuck tick, is primarily responsible for transmitting POW virus. There is some evidence that infection can happen quickly, as soon as 15 minutes after a tick bite. Another type of POW virus is likely spread by deer ticks, also known as black-legged ticks.

Our Non Spray Least Toxic Tick Treatment Answer: Tick Tubes

This remarkable solution consists of small paper towel roll sized tick tubes. These BIODEGRADABLE cardboard tubes are filled with permethrin treated cotton balls. These tubes are then strategically placed around the property in habitats where the rodents and mice make their nests. These areas consist of ground cover, wood piles, rock walls, under decks, anywhere they would hide or nest. The creatures then bring this great preferred nesting material back to their nests where the treated cotton serves to kill all the infected ticks. The permethrin is released also into the animals fur through natural nesting instincts and serves to kill the ticks on the animal itself as well, preventing a tick infection of disease from the animal. Deer ticks that feed on mice in spring and late summer are exposed to the permethrin and killed before they can spread Lyme Disease to you, your family and your pets. These tick tubes deliver a tick controlling product directly to the host animal and the ticks it infects. This all occurs while; the mice, and other mammals and your property are virtually unharmed. We recommend two treatments per year. The manufacturer has done studies showing a very high level of success. A study in the Pine Barrens in east end of New Yorks Long Island (ground zero for Lyme disease carrying ticks) showed a tenfold reduction of risk of exposure to a tick that could cause Lyme disease. Our Treatments Work!

We Guarantee:

Professional Service, On-time arrival as well as the best techniques and products available that will lead to long term results on your property.

We here at Alternative Earthcare are a Long Island based company specializing in Mosquito Control. We have been in business for 20 years. We love where we live and work, but we don’t love all the insects here! Insects like Mosquitos are not only annoying, but can be harmful to you and your family. They are able to spread diseases many diseases. The Mosquito populations on Long Island are thriving, and sadly these diseases are becoming more and more prevalent, especially across the East End, the Hamptons, and Montauk.

Mosquitoes are terribly annoying pests. These little irritants buzz overhead annoyingly and deliver itchy and painful bites, often ruining outdoor activities and backyard get togethers. What’s more, mosquitoes are dangerous carriers of diseases like West Nile virus, encephalitis and dengue fever.

Other mosquito companies use convenient, cheap, and weak backpack misters to provide services.

Our spray equipment is expensive, powerful. and far more effective. Trusted, guaranteed results.

Why Do Mosquitoes Bite?

Female mosquitoes extract the blood of their host animal with very sharp piercing mouthparts. They need the protein from the hosts blood to complete the egg production task. This is opposed to the males who do not bite and they do not feed on blood. The males get their energy from plants and the various nectars. They can also sustain themselves from most any sugar or sweet substances they can found in their surrounding environment.

After breaking the skin with their incisors and feeding on blood, mosquitoes leave hard, itchy bumps. In the feeding process, mosquitoes inject saliva into their host which creates the reactions that cause bite symptoms. Most mosquito bites are harmless and the symptoms subside in a few days. Some symptoms include swelling of the bite site, soreness, and bleeding. While mosquitoes can cause a lot of irritation the important problem that arises from mosquito bites is transmission of viral or parasitic disease.

Symptoms & Reactions

Many mosquito species are such stealthy biters that most people never notice their first mosquito bites. Other species are ferocious biters whose bite is moderately painful. The symptoms of mosquito bites include:

A puffy, white bump appearing a few minutes after the bite often with a small red dot in the middle of the bump. A hard, reddish bump, or bumps, that shows up about a day after a bite. Swelling around the bites. Small blisters instead of hard bumps. Dark spots that look like bruises.

In children and people with immune system disorders, mosquito bite symptoms may include: Large area of swelling and redness. Low-grade fever, Hives, Swollen lymph nodes and Headaches

Ant Removal & Control

Alternative Earthcare is Long Island’s premier ant control and removal specialists. Our ant exterminator services can help rid your home of common house ants, including carpenter ants.

The best way to eliminate any ant invasion is with the aid of an ant control and removal specialist. The constant flow of house ants produced by colonies can make it extremely hard to wipe out an ant infestation in your home.

Effective nest removal calls for ant extermination of the whole nest, and also the queen hidden deep inside the ants’ home. Upsetting the source of an ant invasion makes it extremely hard to completely get rid of an entire colony.

Identify an Ant Problem Early

The easiest way to avoid ant infestations on Long Island, is to pay attention to the three common things that attract them: water, food and harborage. Paths that enable these insects to get into your home, must also be wiped out.

It is essential to recognize that ants usually create nests that consist of very big colonies. Every time property owners utilize sprays they buy at a food store, they do not realize that this can cause extermination to become even more difficult. When a non-professional spray is applied to various areas, typically a group of ants with split up their nest and create new ones in numerous areas. This clearly makes an ant invasion even worse.

Need Ants Exterminated? Alternative Earthcare Can Help!

Step 1: Our skilled ant control professionals on Long Island use sprays, gel baits, granules or even a mixture of all three to help eliminate your ant problem at the source of the infestation.

Step 2: After worker ants bring our professional-grade products back to the nest, it eventually kills the entire colony. This is the most successful and efficient way to eliminate your ant problem.

It’s that easy!
