Less swatting.
More summer.

Ticks and mosquitoes know exactly where to hide. So do we.

Our trained local team uses a high-volume, high-pressure application to reach deep into the shaded, damp, and wooded areas that light misting can miss.

01
M

Mosquito control

Monthly essential-oil treatments for shrubs, lower tree canopies, damp zones, and the places mosquitoes rest and breed.

  • Fewer bites at cookouts
  • Comfort around patios & pools
  • Protection from spring through fall
02
T

Tick control

A complete barrier treatment focused on the grass, lawn edges, leaf litter, stone walls, woodlines, pet paths, and shaded cover.

  • Grass and lawn coverage
  • Deep perimeter saturation
  • Family- and pet-friendly formula
03
360°

Whole-yard defense

We don’t spray and go. Every visit starts with the property, the pressure points, and how your family actually uses the yard.

  • Lawns & landscaping
  • Plants, shrubs & lower trees
  • 10–15 feet into wooded edges
The UBB difference

Not a light mist.
A full-coverage plan.

Commercial-grade equipment helps our team reach the exact zones where ticks and mosquitoes thrive—then monthly service keeps the barrier working.
