Who is at risk for infection with Powassan virus?

Anyone bitten by a tick in an area where the virus is commonly found can get infected with POW virus. The risk is highest for people who live, work or recreate in brushy or wooded areas, because of greater exposure to potentially infected ticks.

How soon do people get sick after getting bitten by an infected tick?

The incubation period (time from tick bite to onset of illness) ranges from one week to one month.

Give me a call if your concerned about your family and your pets.

Although it is spring time now, I wanted to show the difference when a property does a late fall application compared to one that didn’t. The benefit of a well-timed late season application includes: good winter color, increased rooting, enhanced carbohydrate reserves, and earlier spring green-up (without surge growth). That top image is the property that skipped the late fall application. The bottom image has had the late fall application. Can you see the difference? Your neighbors will.  If you want you lawn to be the best one on the street give me a call.
