JP McHale Pest Management, serving all of Long Island, utilizes the latest innovative technology to eliminate pests, using biological and environmentally sensitive methods. Founded over 50 years ago, JP McHale is the leading pest control company with service areas throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties including several satellite offices in towns such as Cutchogue and Oakdale.
JP McHale Pest Management started as a family business and is currently run by President and CEO, Jim McHale, Jr. The company now has more than a five decades-long reputation for embracing cutting-edge, emerging technology and utilizing it effectively for the betterment of its clients.
JP McHale’s latest service - LymeShield - is here and at a perfect time! This exciting new solution designed to keep ticks away from their clients' properties, has already been making extraordinary headway in reducing the spread of Lyme Disease and other tick-borne disease cases on Long Island.
“Lyme Disease is very big on Long Island, and LymeShield is a paradigm shift in how we attack it. We take the attack to the disease itself,” says Jim McHale, president of JP McHale Pest Management. “Previously, we would go to the property, put down rodent bait, and spray the ecotone area – the area where your lawn ends, and the wooded area begins – for ticks. Some people may not realize this, but ticks don't naturally have Lyme Disease themselves; they actually pick it up from white-footed mice.”
And that, Jim said, is where LymeShield comes into action.
“LymeShield consists of feeding stations that contain pellets that are strategically placed around the property for the mice to feed on and get vaccinated against Lyme Disease,” he said. “So, they're no longer carrying the infection, and in turn, they are no longer able to pass that infection onto a tick which could then go on and spread the disease further to humans and other animals.”
“We're taking the fight right to the source now,” Jim added. “Instead of just trying to kill the ticks once they have the disease, we're taking the fight directly to the disease itself.”
JP McHale’s LymeGuard+ Service, which consists of the LymeShield system and a Tick & Mosquito service plan is now available to customers. So far, it has been wildly successful due to its groundbreaking approach to combating Lyme Disease. One feeding station is needed per half-acre of property, with its effectiveness bolstered further by the application of several anti-tick treatments, creating a formidable barrier against Lyme infection and preserving the health and well-being of your family.
“Once the regulatory community embraced it, we were free to bring LymeShield to Long Island,” Jim said. “It's environmentally sound and has gone through all of the hurdles. It's now the gold standard.”
The LymeShield system is USDA, EPA, and FDA-approved for use in New York State and has made its Long Island introduction with a partnership between JP McHale Pest Management and LymeShield developer, US Biologic, a Memphis, Tennessee-based company that produces orally delivered vaccines in its mission to prevent global diseases and allow safe, effective, and cost-efficient delivery of preventative interventions to wildlife, companion animals, food animals, and humans. JP McHale and US Biologic are both committed to protecting the community by employing effective, cutting-edge pest control solutions including early detection of ticks and the elimination of Lyme Disease through the latest pest control technology. This collaboration aims to address the exponential rise in Lyme Disease cases.
Jim said his company's is committed to employing the latest technological breakthroughs in its treatment plans, continually evolving to provide the highest quality services to their customers. Unlike many other companies in his industry, which are content to rest on their laurels and adhere to traditional, often less effective methods of pest management, JP McHale continues to strive for innovation and excellence.
To this end, Jim cited another innovative JP McHale Pest Management approach -- their proprietary SMART System, which customers can have installed in their homes to head off rodent infestations BEFORE they happen, not after.
“Although we're in a commoditized marketplace, we hold a unique position through our innovative solutions,” he said. “That's why we use our SMART digital technology, which we install in our customers’ homes to detect rodents and to intercept the early stages of infestation. Often, we're the ones calling the customer to let them know that there are rodents in their house and that we are on our way to deal with it, whereas other pest control companies wait for the customer to realize there's a mouse problem.”
“Between SMART and LymeShield, along with our other cutting-edge solutions and exceptional customer service, we have an extremely loyal client base and have been bringing on many new customers looking for our unique pest control technology that nobody else has.”
Jim continued. “We've invested in the technology; we've invested in the brand. That's how we provide an exceptional, elevated client experience and the technology to support it.”
Given how prevalent ticks are on Long Island and the dangers posed by Lyme Disease exposure – ranging from fever, rash, facial paralysis, an irregular heartbeat, and arthritis – Jim invites anyone interested in protecting the health of themselves and their loved ones to reach out to his company to get a free estimate for the LymeShield System and find out more about all of the other services at JP McHale Pest Management.
“It's a great enhancement to an existing tick problem, and it should really help cut down the instances of Lyme Disease on Long Island,” he said.
