Shelter Island Property Care
Care calibrated for Shelter Island.
Shelter Island sits between the North and South Forks, reached by ferry and defined by Shelter Island Heights and a deep, preserved landscape environment. Per Suffolk County Department of Health Services data, Shelter Island carries some of the highest deer-tick infection rates in the region. For Shelter Island estate owners, Lyme prevention isn't a nice-to-have — it's an urgent priority.
We build Shelter Island programs around that reality: aggressive tick coverage timed to the island's serious infection pressure, fertility tuned to island soil, and plant healthcare for the mature canopy that defines Shelter Island Heights.
Access logistics across the ferry mean having a provider who reliably commits to the island matters — and Everra does. Shelter Island properties receive the same scheduled consistency as any Hamptons address, with programs calibrated for the island's specific conditions.

Local Challenges
What Shelter Island properties face.
Highest Deer Tick Infection Rate
Shelter Island carries the highest deer tick infection rate in Suffolk County. For estate owners and families on Shelter Island, Lyme disease prevention is a serious health priority that requires aggressive, consistent tick programs.
One-Third Nature Preserve
With one-third of Shelter Island designated as nature preserve, every estate property borders preserved habitat — the highest concentration of tick harborage of any Hamptons address.
Ferry-Logistics Service Gaps
Most mainland lawn care companies treat Shelter Island as a low-priority afterthought. Unreliable service creates gaps in tick and mosquito coverage during the most critical exposure windows.

Trusted by Shelter Island homeowners.
“Lyme disease is the reason we finally hired Everra at our Shelter Island Heights property. Their tick program is comprehensive and they actually show up on schedule.”
Louise F.
Shelter Island Homeowner
“We had two cases of Lyme in the family before we found Everra. Three seasons in and we've had zero. The bait-box program and perimeter treatment combination works.”
Samuel T.
Shelter Island Property Owner
“Most companies we called didn't want to deal with the ferry. Everra committed to a reliable Shelter Island schedule from day one.”
