Recent studies have shown that invasive shrubs, particularly Japanese knotwood, shrub honeysuckle, and winged euonymous, host a higher density of ticks. These shrubs, which are very common in Nantucket, are plants that hold their leaves longer into the winter and have a higher humidity in their understory. This provides a perfect habitat for ticks and the small mammals that they feed on. We all hate ticks. So now you have a perfectly valid reason for hating invasive shrubs as well.

At Nantucket Green Tree, we provide pest control solutions for all of the above. Insect control is a very important part of our business as we place high emphasis on protecting you and your family from mosquito and tick-borne diseases.

We offer organic, all natural, non-toxic tick and mosquito solutions. Using non-toxic pesticides is the safest and most environmentally friendly way of mosquito and tick prevention.
