Lawn Tick Control Services

At Mosquito Squad, we are proud to offer two distinct tick control services.

Our traditional tick barrier treatment kills ticks on contact.
Our tick tube treatment eliminates ticks with a biodegradable product.

Whether you need us to treat for a special event or routinely, our technicians are ready to be of service. During our cost-free consultation, we’ll inspect your property for tick breeding areas (wooded areas, high grasses, mulch beds, etc.) and develop a treatment plan. Then we’ll give you an honest, up-front quote with no hidden fees involved.

The Dangers of Ticks

Protect Your Family & Pets from Lyme

Like mosquitoes, ticks are transmitters of disease. Tick-borne disease is extremely dangerous because they affect tens of thousands of people throughout the United States every year. Unlike mosquitoes, ticks do not grab a blood meal and go on their way. Ticks have beak-like projections that plunge into the skin of their host. Depending on its type, a tick may feed on the host’s blood for hours, days, or even weeks.

What Diseases Do Ticks Carry?

Lyme Disease

Named after the Connecticut town in which it was first found, Lyme Disease is the most prevalent tick-borne disease in the United States, with diagnoses in every state except Hawaii. There are nearly 30,000 cases reported by the Centers for Disease Control each year. If caught early, Lyme Disease responds well to a variety of antibiotics. Unfortunately, Lyme is not the easiest disease to diagnose. The telltale bull’s eye rash is only one of the many symptoms of Lyme, which also includes fever, fatigue and joint pain.

Ehrlichiosis

Although it does affect humans, Ehrlichiosis is most commonly found in deer and dogs. The bacteria kills white blood cells causing headaches, fatigue, and aches. Luckily, Ehrlichiosis is treated with a series of antibiotics.

Babesiosis

Babesiosis is transmitted by the bite of infected Ixodes scapularis ticks and is most common in the Northeast and upper Midwest regions of the United States. For most people, there are no symptoms. For those who do experience symptoms, there are effective treatment options available.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a potentially fatal bacterial disease resulting in symptoms such as fever, headache, rash, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, muscle pain, and lack of appetite. It is spread by the American dog tick, Rocky Mountain wood tick, and brown dog tick. It is most commonly found in North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. RMSF can be treated with antibiotics.

Anaplasmosis

Anaplasmosis is most commonly spread by the bite of the blacklegged and the western blacklegged tick. Symptoms of the disease can include fever, headache, chills, and muscle aches and will usually begin within one to two weeks of the initial bite. Early treatment with the antibiotic doxycycline can help prevent severe illness—including respiratory failure, bleeding problems, and organ failure—as well as death.

Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness

The southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI) can often be confused with Lyme Disease as both result in a similar circular rash that looks like a bull’s-eye. STARI is spread by the bite of the lone star tick. In addition to the rash, STARI can result in symptoms such as fatigue, fever, headache, muscle and joint pain. Treatment is still being researched but most physicians use oral antibiotics to treat patients.

Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever

Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) is a bacterial infection spread by the bite of a “soft tick.” It can result in recurring symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle and joint aches, and nausea. It is most common in the western region of the United States, especially mountainous areas. In Texas, exposure can happen in caves.

Tularemia

Tularemia is a disease that can affect both people and animals, including rabbits, hares, and rodents. It can be spread by the bite of ticks, as well as contact with infected animals, contaminated water, and more. Symptoms can vary widely depending on the form of infection; when infected through a tick bite, symptoms can include irritation, inflammation, skin ulcers, and the swelling of lymph glands. This can be treated with antibiotics; treatment will usually last between 10 to 21 days on average.

Where Do Ticks Live in Your Yard?

Ticks tend to hang out in shady spots closer to the ground. They’re attracted to weeds, tall grasses, low-lying shrubs, and the outer edge of grasslands near lawns. Ticks cannot jump or fly – they attach to humans by direct contact. Once a tick finds skin, it usually climbs to a protected and warm area to latch onto, such as a head or armpits. Common hiding spots include:

Wood piles
Wooded areas
Stone walls
Leaf piles
Fallen and low-hanging tree branches
Overgrown shrubs
Bird feeders

How to Keep Ticks Away Naturally

Clearing tall grass and brush
Removing leaf litter
Frequently mowing the lawn
Creating a three-foot-wide barrier between your property and wooded areas
Keeping playgrounds, decks, and patios away from the edge of your yard
Constructing a fence to keep out wandering rodents, deer, and other animals
Removing clutter and debris
Planting tick repellents around your yard such as garlic, lavender, chrysanthemum, catnip, sage, and eucalyptus

If you’re looking for a natural tick control service, try our natural mosquito and tick treatment option.

Protect what matters most

Types of Tick Control Services We Offer

Traditional Tick Barrier Treatment

If left untreated, tick populations can multiply quickly. The types of ticks that transmit Lyme Disease typically lay 3,000 or more eggs in one clutch. When that’s happening in your yard, it’s a problem! Our mosquito barrier treatment helps control ticks at the source: their breeding grounds. We also spray a perimeter of protection around your home. This perimeter is particularly successful at controlling ticks, as they tend to live at the edges of lawns where the grass is taller.

Tick Tube Treatment

Our special tick tube treatment involves strategically placing biodegradable tick tubes around your property and letting nature do the rest. Each tube is filled with insecticide-treated cotton that mice then collect and use for bedding. The reason we attract the mice is simple: When ticks attach to mice, they are taken to mouse nests and eliminated by the cotton.

What To Do After Your Lawn Tick Treatment

After each treatment from Mosquito Squad, keep children and pets away from treated areas for at least 30 minutes. We also recommend maintaining your yard between treatments by mowing your lawn and cleaning up areas with natural debris like leaves or grass clippings. Then get the lawn chairs out – now you can enjoy your yard without worrying about ticks!

How Much Does Tick Control Cost?

The prices of tick control services vary depending on the square footage of the treated area, the frequency of treatment, and the specific tick control option you choose. You can count on Mosquito Squad’s customized free quote to be competitive and fair.
