Can you tell a deer tick from a dog tick? On Staten Island it helps to know: a deer tick is sesame seed sized with black legs and a black shield, a lone star female has one white dot on her back, and a dog tick is larger with ornate white markings. Look for them after time near leaf litter, wooded edges, and tall grass around the Greenbelt, Great Kills, and Clove Lakes, and do a full check when you come inside. Our all-natural essential-oil treatments target those shaded yard edges where ticks rest and travel, with no synthetic pesticides and no contracts. Call 866-792-8284 for a free quote.
