The Yard Gard - Organic Tick & Mosquito Control

The Yard Gard is a one-person outfit run out of South Yarmouth that homeowners call for one thing: keeping ticks and mosquitoes off their property without spraying synthetic chemicals in the yard. The company describes itself as organic and locally based, covering towns across Cape Cod from Bourne to Provincetown. The reviews line up around a few recurring names. Customers who've used the service for three or four seasons keep mentioning technicians Chad and Cory by name — one homeowner credits Chad with keeping kids and dogs tick-free "for years," another says Cory sprays "everywhere" to protect a new puppy. A 2022 review describes owner John personally following up on tick-control requests over "many years" of service. Several reviewers say the switch to The Yard Gard ended chronic infestations — a 2023 review reports no more ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, spiders or ants after a few seasons of use, including at a home that abuts woods and a bog. One thing worth asking about before booking: a 2026 reviewer says they asked what was in the spray being applied to their yard and staff wouldn't provide the full ingredient list — worth a direct question if you want specifics on what's going down before it's applied. The Yard Gard is a solid call for a Cape Cod homeowner who wants tick and mosquito control handled by the same technician season after season; confirm the treatment schedule and ask about ingredients directly if that matters to you.
