Spray Safe, Play Safe: Tick Control Gets Reel, was created by a team of experts to help New England families make informed choices about managing ticks
in their backyards.
These short films answer frequently asked questions about backyard tick management, with special emphasis on safe and effective use of pesticides
for tick control—timed perfectly for Spring.
Follow the story of neighbors planning a block party in a Connecticut neighborhood. You will be drawn into their world as they learn how ticks behave, how to protect their families from tick bites, and how to safely treat their properties to reduce tick populations. While the tone is lighthearted, the recommendations are solidly based on science. Children are at greatest risk and we must do all we can to protect them.
The Spray Safe, Play Safe film series was funded by a
Healthy Communities Grant from the US EPA, and was created by the
Tickborne Disease Prevention Laboratory
at Western Connecticut State University
and
the Ridgefield Health Department’s
BLAST Tickborne Disease Prevention Program.
This opening night premiere event is being sponsored by
Western Connecticut Health Network and Lyme Connection.
Online registration has closed, but please come and register in person at the event!
