“I had been paying two different companies to keep all the ‘creepy critters’ at bay! But now, the Squad handles them all. Not only am I saving a bundle, best of all the Squad is automatically at my home every 2-3 weeks treating those annoying pests! Squad Protection Plus is worth every penny and then some!”
—Pat B.
You won’t get that level of service and comprehensiveness from virtually any other pest control company.
Martha's Vineyard’s mix of harbor towns, rolling farmland, ponds, and wooded conservation land makes the Island one of the most beautiful places in New England — and one of the most tick-pressured. The Island’s sandy outwash plains, kettle ponds, and brushy field edges create ideal habitat for ticks and mosquitoes, and Martha's Vineyard and Dukes County consistently report some of the highest Lyme disease rates in Massachusetts. There are now over 14 tick-borne diseases on the Cape and Islands including newly emerging Alpha-gal and Powassan virus along with Lyme, babesiosis, anaplasmosis and more in yards and near conservation land throughout the Island — residents of New England are visiting emergency rooms for tick-related issues at the highest rate in nearly a decade (MassLive, 2026). At Cape Cod Mosquito Squad, we’re proud to extend our comprehensive pest control to Martha's Vineyard, bringing the same trained technicians, EPA-registered products, and comprehensive approach we’ve used to protect Cape Cod families since 2014.
Whether you live on the Island year-round, maintain a seasonal home, or simply want more peace of mind while enjoying the beaches, farmland, and conservation trails, our pest control services help control the pests that come with Island living. We use multiple strategies to achieve great results, combining barrier treatments, natural product options, habitat eliminating strategies, and other targeted products to help protect your home from any pest threat through the season. We serve all of Martha's Vineyard — including Vineyard Haven (Tisbury), Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, West Tisbury, Chilmark, and Aquinnah — from our Cape Cod Mosquito Squad team based in Dennis Port, with service reaching the Island via the Woods Hole and Falmouth ferry routes.

Martha's Vineyard’s geography creates persistent pest pressure across all seasons. The Island’s kettle ponds, salt marshes, and coastal edges breed mosquitoes and greenheads through spring and summer, while the sandplain grasslands, stone walls, and wooded conservation land harbor lone-star and deer ticks that can remain active year-round. Tick-borne diseases are a real and well-documented risk for Island families spending time outdoors, as well as West Nile and EEE in the mosquito populations. As summer warms, ants and carpenter ants move toward homes, spiders settle into porches and garages, and wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets build nests around decks and eaves. In the fall, mice are looking for a warm space to call home. Cape Cod Mosquito Squad will protect your home against rodents, too. Many Island properties face year-round pressure from overwintering pests, which is why residents and seasonal homeowners benefit from spring-through-fall treatments to eliminate pest populations and sometimes preventative fall/winter visits to manage cold-season activity.
You shouldn't have to think twice about the backyard. We do the thinking, so you don't have to.
Our pest control services start with a free, no-pressure assessment of your Martha's Vineyard property. We identify where pests are breeding, entering, and hiding, then create a customized treatment plan that fits your family’s needs and budget. We treat each Island home individually rather than with a one-size-fits-all approach.
Most homeowners choose our barrier treatment, applied to landscape vegetation, mulch, and lawns to help control ticks and mosquitoes around the perimeter. We use EPA-registered products applied by trained technicians per label instructions. These products are non-toxic and environmentally protective. We also use 3 natural products for those who want an alternative approach. For added mosquito protection, we use larvicide to eliminate breeding activity on your property. We can also install tick tubes — treated cotton placed in cardboard tubes that rodents use for nesting, helping to interrupt the tick life cycle without causing harm to wildlife. Combined with barrier treatment, larvicide, and tick tubes add additional layers of tick and mosquito control through the season. For families seeking enhanced foundation protection, The Squad Home Shield™ package starts with our Barrier Treatment and adds foundation treatment, insect and/or rodent baits to eliminate and prevent ants, spiders, roaches, mice and many other pests from entering your living space and creating an additional line of defense for inside your home. We allow you to eat, relax, and entertain as carefree as possible on the Island.
One team, one visit, every pest — that's the whole idea.
Unlike many other companies we offer full service indoor and outdoor pest control services. By offering a one-stop shop we can cover the complete range of outdoor pests that affect Martha's Vineyard properties while saving you money by bundling services regardless of your pest needs. The full range includes ants, carpenter ants, spiders, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, fleas, rodents, cockroaches, termites, carpenter bees, and other household and outdoor nuisance pests including no-see-ums, gnats, flies, stink bugs, elm seed bugs, boxelder bugs, pantry moths, earwigs, silverfish, crickets, millipedes, centipedes, sowbugs, pillbugs, mice and termites. Whether you’re dealing with a wasp nest near your deck, carpenter ants finding their way into your home, spiders taking over your basement, or any other pest concern, we can address those problems without you needing to call multiple contractors. Many of our services can be combined — for example, a seasonal tick-and-mosquito program paired with targeted wasp nest removal — for your complete pest control needs with one trusted local company.

Cape Cod Mosquito Squad brings the same trusted, comprehensive approach we’ve used to protect Cape families since 2014 to Martha's Vineyard, so you get experienced technicians who understand how pest pressure differs between a harbor-village lot and a wooded property near conservation land. Before we begin, we’ll walk you through exactly what we’re treating and why. We’re fully licensed in Massachusetts (License AL-0054568), our products are EPA registered and applied by trained technicians, and we stand behind our work: Satisfaction Guaranteed. For more information, including this guarantee, check out the Mosquito Squad® Plus website https://www.mosquitosquad.com/cape-cod/ or ask the franchisee for details.
Backed by our Satisfaction Guarantee, so the only thing you're chasing this summer is the tide.
Transparency is core to who we are. We explain what we’re treating and what to expect before applying our products. Our EPA-registered products are non-toxic and environmentally protective, and we also use 3 natural products, so families with pets, young children, or specific preferences can choose the approach that fits their values.
Getting started is simple — our customer service team uses an online estimating tool to walk you through your options, answer your questions, and build a plan sized to your property and the pests you’re dealing with, all without an in-person visit required. From there we schedule your first treatment and return on a regular basis through peak season, adjusting as conditions change. Deer ticks stay active into late fall, and many pests shelter near the foundation through colder months, so many Island residents continue their services well past Labor Day and throughout the year. Between visits we’re only a message away — reach us online or call (508) 507-7143.
Help protect your family, pets and your Martha's Vineyard home from the mosquitoes, ticks, ants, and stinging insects. Request your free property assessment and quote online — we serve all of Martha's Vineyard, from Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs to Edgartown, West Tisbury, Chilmark, and Aquinnah.
Island summers are short. Don't spend them scratching.
It shifts through the season: ticks and ants in spring, mosquitoes and greenheads building through early summer near ponds and marshes, then spiders and stinging insects (wasps, hornets, yellow jackets) into late summer and fall. Properties near conservation land, stone walls, or brushy field edges tend to see more tick pressure. During your free assessment we’ll identify what’s active on your specific lot.
The Island is regularly identified as one of the highest-risk areas in Massachusetts for tick-borne illness, thanks to its sandplain grasslands, brush, and abundant deer and rodent populations that sustain the tick life cycle. Deer ticks that carry Lyme disease are active from spring through fall. Combining our barrier treatment and tick tubes provides excellent protection for Island families.
Yes — we serve Vineyard Haven and the rest of Tisbury, Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, West Tisbury, Chilmark, and Aquinnah. Pest pressure and property types vary across the Island, so we tailor each treatment plan to your specific lot during the free assessment.
We focus treatment on the perimeter and the low vegetation where pests hide, not on flower beds. Care is taken to avoid treating blooming plants that attract bees. If you have specific garden areas or sensitive landscaping you’d like us to work around, just point them out during the assessment.
Once the treatment has dried, your children and pets can return to the yard, typically within 20-30 minutes. Our treatments also help protect your loved ones from the dangers and nuisances of mosquitoes and ticks, and our products are EPA registered and applied by trained technicians according to product label guidelines. If you’d prefer, ask about the 3 natural products we use as an alternative approach.
Most Island properties do well with treatments every three to four weeks through peak season (April–October). The right cadence depends on your lot, the pests present, and how much time you spend outside. We’ll recommend a schedule after the first visit and adjust as needed. Many year-round residents continue lighter visits into the fall and early winter to manage overwintering pests near the foundation.
