At Safer Nature Pest Control, we understand how stressful it can be to discover ticks in your yard or around your Amesbury home or business.

That’s why we’re dedicated to providing safe, effective, and environmentally responsible tick control services throughout the North Shore.
As a locally owned and operated company based right here in Amesbury, MA, we understand the unique tick challenges faced by North Shore residents. Our coastal climate, wooded neighborhoods, stone walls, and abundant wildlife create ideal conditions for ticks to thrive—especially during the warmer months of spring, summer, and early fall when outdoor activity is at its peak.
Our approach to tick control goes beyond quick treatments. We focus on long-term protection by addressing the conditions that allow ticks to survive and spread. Our trained technicians perform detailed property inspections, identify high-risk areas such as lawn edges, wooded borders, and shaded zones, and apply targeted, pet-friendly treatments designed to reduce tick populations where they live and breed.

Ryan's company SAFER NATURE are awesome! Very responsive, professional and were the right price. We Bought a new home in Amesbury. We had problems with carpenter ants.Ryan identified the source of the problem immediately and got rid of the issue. We haven't seen any ants since. We also were concerned with ticks and mosquitoes. So we signed up with Safer Nature tick and mosquito control program and it has worked great. Highly highly recommend. Very reasonably priced and courteous.
Andy K. - A Yelp Review
I own property on the north shore and have been looking for a reliable provider to take care of the landscape and mosquito/tick issues I inevitably have to deal with every year. Since I don't live there, I really needed to find someone I could trust to do the job properly and thoroughly without me being there to watch every application. I am happy to say that I found my answer - Ryan from Safer Nature! He really knows his stuff, and he always delivers! If you need help with pest control or lawn care on the north shore, call Ryan and you will be happy you did!
Alex M. - A Yelp Review
I was recommended safer nature pest control by my neighbor who had nothing but nice things to say about Ryan Potts. I can see why. The entire experience was professional from start to finish. My husband and I priced out multiple companies and safer nature was hands down the most reasonable. Ryan did an organic spray that eliminated ticks and mosquitoes from our entire yard. The results were remarkable. I never knew this could be done organically. I am definitely having it done next summer should it need it. Well worth the money.
Erin D. - A Yelp Review
It's hard to find skilled and dependable pest control and lawn care. Yet that's what Ryan and Safer Nature offers. Ryan helped us turn our lawn from brown and embarrassing into lush and green. He also helped us get rid of mice, bats, ticks, hornets, and bees. He is responsive and reliable. We have fully given over our entire lawn to him and it has paid off.

Our Proven Tick Control Process
A systematic approach that delivers lasting results for North Shore homeowners
1
Thorough Property Inspection
We begin with a detailed inspection of your property, focusing on areas where ticks are most likely to live and spread. Our technicians evaluate lawn edges, wooded borders, stone walls, tall grass, shaded areas, and high-traffic zones for pets and people. We also assess environmental factors—such as moisture, vegetation density, and wildlife activity—that contribute to tick populations.
2
Customized Tick Control Plan
Based on our findings, we develop a customized tick control plan tailored to your yard, landscaping, and usage patterns. We’ll explain the treatment strategy, timing, and what to expect, answer your questions, and ensure you’re comfortable before any applications begin.
3
Targeted Tick Treatments
Using proven, pet-conscious products and targeted application methods, we treat the areas where ticks live, hide, and breed—rather than blanket-spraying your entire yard. Treatments are designed to significantly reduce tick populations while being mindful of your family, pets, and the surrounding environment.
4
Habitat Modification Recommendations
Effective tick control goes beyond treatment alone. We provide practical recommendations to reduce tick-friendly conditions on your property, such as trimming back vegetation, managing leaf litter, improving sunlight exposure, and creating buffer zones between lawns and wooded areas.
5
Ongoing Protection Options
Ticks are a seasonal concern in Massachusetts, so we offer follow-up and seasonal treatment options to maintain protection during peak tick activity. Consistent service helps break the tick life cycle and provides long-term peace of mind.
6
Monitoring & Support
We remain available after treatment to address questions, concerns, or changes in tick activity. Our goal is to ensure your outdoor spaces stay safer and more enjoyable throughout the season.
Signs You Need Professional Tick Control
Don’t wait until the problem gets worse. Watch for these common warning signs:
Ticks Found on Pets
Discovering ticks on dogs or cats after they’ve been outdoors—especially around ears, necks, or paws—is often the first sign of a yard infestation.
Ticks on Clothing or Skin
Finding ticks crawling on clothing or attached to skin after spending time outside indicates active tick populations close to your home.
High Wildlife Activity
Frequent sightings of deer, rodents, or other wildlife in or around your yard can increase tick presence, as ticks rely on these animals to spread.
Overgrown or Shaded Yard Areas
Tall grass, dense shrubs, leaf litter, and shaded, moist areas create ideal environments for ticks to thrive.
Stone Walls & Wooded Borders
Properties with stone walls, wooded edges, or natural barriers are especially prone to ticks, as these areas provide shelter and hosts.
Concern About Tick-Borne Diseases
If you’re worried about Lyme disease or other tick-borne illnesses affecting your family or pets, proactive tick control is a smart and responsible step.
Reduced Use of Outdoor Spaces
Avoiding your yard due to fear of ticks is a clear sign that professional tick control could restore comfort and confidence outdoors.
Tick Nests or Clusters
Seeing multiple ticks concentrated in the same area—such as along fence lines, near patios, play areas, or at the edge of wooded sections—can indicate an established tick habitat that requires professional treatment.
If you've noticed any of these signs in your Amesbury home, don't delay.

Expert Tick Control for Amesbury & North Shore Communities
Serving Amesbury, MA and the Entire North Shore Region
As temperatures warm and outdoor activity increases across the North Shore, ticks become a serious concern for homeowners, families, and pet owners. Lawns, wooded edges, stone walls, and shaded areas around your Amesbury home can quickly become prime tick habitats. At Safer Nature Pest Control, we’ve been helping local homeowners and businesses reduce tick populations for years, and we understand the unique challenges that come with tick control in coastal Massachusetts.
From the historic neighborhoods of downtown Amesbury to the coastal properties of Salisbury and Newburyport, from the wooded areas of Haverhill to the residential communities of Beverly and Salem, we’ve seen how differently ticks impact properties across the region. Our experience throughout the North Shore has shown us that no two yards are the same, which is why we never take a one-size-fits-all approach to tick control.
Why Ticks Thrive on the North Shore
The North Shore presents ideal conditions for ticks to live and spread. Our coastal climate, combined with wooded conservation land, marshes, stone walls, and abundant wildlife, creates the perfect environment for ticks to thrive—especially during spring, summer, and early fall. Deer, rodents, and other wildlife commonly found in the area play a major role in carrying ticks into residential spaces.
Many North Shore properties feature mature landscaping, shaded yards, leaf litter, and natural borders between lawns and wooded areas. While these features add beauty and character, they also provide shelter and moisture that ticks need to survive. Even well-maintained yards can experience tick activity when nearby conditions support their life cycle.
The Safer Nature Difference in Amesbury & Beyond
What sets Safer Nature Pest Control apart from other companies serving the North Shore is our focused, environmentally responsible approach to tick control. We don’t rely on blanket spraying or generic treatments. Instead, we identify where ticks live and breed on your property and apply targeted treatments designed to reduce populations effectively while being mindful of families, pets, and the surrounding environment.
As a locally owned and operated company, we’re deeply connected to the communities we serve. We live here, work here, and understand the seasonal patterns, landscapes, and outdoor lifestyles unique to the North Shore. When you contact Safer Nature Pest Control, you’re working with a knowledgeable local team—not a national company using cookie-cutter solutions.
Comprehensive Tick Control Across the North Shore
Whether you’re in Amesbury, Newburyport, Haverhill, Beverly, Salem, Gloucester, Rockport, or anywhere else on the North Shore, Safer Nature Pest Control is ready to help. We provide prompt service throughout the region and understand the specific tick pressures faced by each community.
From coastal yards where wildlife passes through regularly, to wooded properties with persistent tick activity, to family neighborhoods where pets and children use the yard daily, we tailor our tick control solutions to fit your property and lifestyle. Our goal is simple: to help make your outdoor spaces safer, more comfortable, and easier to enjoy throughout tick season and beyond.
