Lyme Disease in Massachusetts — Sharply on the Rise

It’s no secret that we all live in constant threat of contracting Lyme Disease. Deer, which carry Deer Ticks, which cause Lyme Disease – have all been on the rise in our area for the past 20 years.

It happens far too often in our rural towns and communities: children (or pets) out playing in or near the woods return home covered in Lyme-bearing deer ticks. It’s a Parent’s & Pet-Owner’s responsibility to spend time each and every day tediously inspecting their loved-ones for these disease-laden creatures.

Now, you can protect your yard from these pests and thus minimize the risk of your loved ones contracting Lyme Disease with The Reliable Deer & Deer Tick Mitigation System™.
