Why Dover Yards Need Tick Spraying — The Strafford County Numbers

Dover sits in Strafford County, one of NH's top-tier Lyme risk counties. Tick density in Dover and across Strafford is repeatedly higher than the state average, driven by nearby rivers, deer populations, and suburban-woodland fragmentation. Local tick-spraying addresses the habitat that drives those numbers — directly.

~33%
Of deer ticks in Seacoast NH carry the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium that causes Lyme — about 1 in 3 ticks you encounter in Dover.
Core
Strafford County sits in NH's top tier for Lyme case rates alongside Rockingham County, driven by riverine habitat and deer-corridor density.
May–Jun
Nymph tick season is Dover's peak exposure window. Nymphs are poppy-seed sized — most Lyme cases trace back to nymph bites in this window.
Apr–Oct
NH's full tick activity window. Dover's humid, river-adjacent climate extends the season — adult tick resurgence adds risk into October.
What the Service Does

What Tick Spraying in Dover Actually Treats

Dover's tick habitat is specific. Treating only the open lawn misses where the ticks actually live. Our barrier treatments target the property edges and corridors that drive Dover's elevated Lyme numbers.

01 — Target

Cocheco River Corridor Edges

Properties within a half mile of the Cocheco River floodplain face elevated tick pressure. We treat the entire lawn-to-river-edge transition with concentrated barrier formula.

02 — Target

Wooded Subdivision Buffers

Dover subdivisions off Knox Marsh Road, Tolend Road, and Sixth Street back directly into wooded buffers. The 6-foot transition zone where your lawn meets the tree line is where 80–90% of tick encounters happen.

03 — Target

Garrison Hill Deer Paths

White-tailed deer from Garrison Hill Park and surrounding conservation land deposit adult ticks across Dover neighborhoods on every pass. Perimeter barrier treatments break the reinfestation cycle.

04 — Target

Stone Wall & Leaf Litter Zones

Dover's older tree-lined neighborhoods have untreated stone walls and leaf litter that create ideal tick overwintering habitat. Stone walls also serve as rodent highways — the primary host for Lyme-carrying nymph ticks.
