The Hamptons and the broader East End of Long Island consistently rank among the highest-risk areas for deer tick exposure in New York State. With wooded lots, abundant deer populations, and properties that border natural reserves, tick pressure here is real —and the consequences of inadequate protection are serious. Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis are all transmitted by the black-legged deer tick, and all three are endemic to Suffolk County.
At Oceanview Landscapes, we take tick control seriously — not as an add-on, but as a critical component of caring for your property and the people and pets who enjoy it. Our licensed team applies targeted spray treatments at precisely the right points in the tick lifecycle, dramatically reducing the population on your property from April through the fall season.
We offer both organic and synthetic tick control options, and we'll recommend the right approach based on your property, your family's needs, and any pets on the premises. Every program is customized to your acreage and the specific vegetation patterns on your lot — because tick pressure varies significantly between a manicured lawn edge, a woodland border, and ornamental plantings. Our standard tick control season runs April through November, with applications timed to the three critical periods in the tick lifecycle:
For families who prefer an organic approach, we use cedar oil-based and other naturally derived treatments that are highly effective against ticks while remaining safe for children, pets, and beneficial insects when applied correctly. For properties with higher tick pressure or wooded acreage, our synthetic options provide longer residual protection. We'll walk you through both choices and make a recommendation based on your specific situation.
Ticks don't live in the middle of your lawn — they live at the edges. Our certified team targets the areas of highest tick activity: the perimeter of lawn areas, borders of woodland or naturalized zones, ornamental planting beds, stone walls, wood piles, and any transitional zones between maintained and unmaintained areas. We pay particular attention to areas where people and pets spend time: pool surrounds, garden paths, and outdoor living spaces.

Tick nymphs become active as early as late March when temperatures consistently reach 45°F. We recommend beginning your spray program no later than mid-April to stay ahead of peak nymph activity in May and June.
Yes, when applied by our licensed team at label-specified rates and application methods. We'll advise you on standard re-entry times after each application. Our organic options are specifically formulated for households with young children and pets.
Most properties benefit from three treatments per year. High-pressure properties with large woodland borders may benefit from a fourth application. We'll assess your property and recommend the right frequency.
