Tick Control Options for Yards With Pets in Englewood Cliffs

Nobody wants ticks in their yard—but if your pets spend time outdoors, the desire to avoid them is even greater. Ticks latch onto animals, including wildlife and pets, to use them as hosts, and if they carry Lyme disease or another illness, they can transmit it to the animal. Plus, your pet can bring that tick inside and put your family and loved ones (of the not-so-furry variety) at risk, too.

That’s where Mosquito Squad Plus comes in. We know you want fewer ticks without losing normal use of your yard, and our tick control in Englewood Cliffs helps reduce tick pressure without keeping you from enjoying your outdoor space.

Start With the Parts of the Yard Ticks Prefer

Ticks tend to gather in damp, humid areas of your yard that offer shade and protection. If they somehow get dropped in the middle of a sun-soaked, open area of the yard, they’ll typically dry up in the heat. 

Therefore, you’ll most likely find them in brush, tall grass, leaf litter, and along shaded edges, fence lines, and transitions near woods or dense landscaping. A professional inspection can identify your yard’s most tick-heavy areas. That way, instead of treating every square foot of your yard the same, you can focus on their habitats and address the problem more efficiently.

Coordinate Yard Treatment With Your Pet's Tick Prevention

While tick control helps protect your yard from ticks, you should still invest in personal tick protection for indoor/outdoor pets. After all, no yard treatment is 100% effective at eliminating all ticks, and some risk will always remain. 

We recommend following your veterinarian's guidance for tick protection and your pest control technician's product instructions. While some companies offer tick control options for homes with pets, they still have application guidelines to help keep your pets from coming into direct contact with them.

Reduce Tick Habitat Between Treatments

If you’re wondering what you can do to help protect your pets between treatments, here are a few recommendations. Most of them are simple maintenance tasks that you may already do—just a bit more specific to tick control needs:

• Mow regularly and keep your lawn short 
• Trim vegetation
• Clear excess leaf litter
• Create cleaner transition zones
• Keep pet-resting areas away from dense edges

What to Ask a Tick Control Provider

Every tick control provider is different, and not every one will fit your needs and preferences. To help decide which company may be best suited, we recommend asking them about their process and how they work. 

Here are a few questions we recommend asking:

• Which areas will be treated?
• How should I prepare the yard?
• When can people and pets re-enter the treated areas?
• What is your recommended follow-up cadence?
• What results are realistic?
