Tick nymphs are approximately the size of a poppy seed, making them incredibly difficult to spot on skin or clothing. Because of their small size, they are responsible for a large percentage of Lyme Disease cases in Suffolk County ### Focusing on the High-Traffic Zones Our professional perimeter spray serves as your first line of defense. We focus our treatments on the "ecotone"—the specific areas where your lawn meets the woods and ornamental beds. These are the exact locations where dads are often working or children are playing hide-and-seek. Let us provide the peace of mind you need for your family gatherings this June. ###### Search Search ###### Category - [Lawn Health](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/lawn-health) - [Tips & Tricks](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/tips-tricks) - [Pest Control](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/pest-control) - [Fall Prep](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/fall-prep) - [Seasons](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/seasons) - [Property Safety](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/property-safety) - [Weather](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/weather) - [Deer Repellent](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/deer-repellent) - [Season Awakening](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/season-awakening) - [Ticks](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/ticks) - [Clean Up](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/clean-up) - [Mowing Tips](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/mowing-tips) - [Spring](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/spring) - [Summer](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/summer) - [Backyard Fun](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/backyard-fun) - [Fall Health](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/fall-health) - [Mosquito](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/mosquito) - [Summer Care](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/summer-care) - [Tick Safety](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/tick-safety) - [Watering](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/watering) - [Coastal Care](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/coastal-care) - [Fungus Prevention](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/fungus-prevention) - [Grass Seeding](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/grass-seeding) - [Mosquito Protection](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/mosquito-protection) - [Spring Cleanup](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/spring-cleanup) - [Winter Health](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/tag/winter-health) ###### Popular Post - [Fall Lawn Care Tips for Long Island Homes](https://www.lawnprony.com/blog/revitalize-your-lawn-spring-lawn-care-tips-for-long-island-0-1) - [Fungus Trouble?
