Professional tick control is highly effective at reducing the ticks in your yard. It won't achieve a permanently tick-free yard, since new ticks keep arriving on wildlife, but it substantially lowers the population and your family's exposure across the season.
Professional tick control works really well. It can cut down on ticks by up to 90%, and that’s enough to make a big difference in how much you enjoy your outdoor spaces. How this is possible comes down to science.
Ticks are, thankfully, predictable. They hide where it’s shaded and humid. This is why brushing up against dead leaves or tall grass is a great way to pick up ticks. It’s why the woods are more risky than open lawns. So when tick treatment is applied, it hits the pests right where they live.
No tick treatment can make a yard tick-free. Ticks had to get there somehow in the first place, after all. And many ticks will keep arriving on the deer, rodents, rabbits, and birds that move through a property. You can’t stop this from happening, but you can at least push back through treatment. Think of it as sustained suppression rather than one-and-done elimination.
For best results, pair tick control treatment with other ways to reduce tick habitats. You can do this by keeping grass short and clearing leaf litter. If you have woods that border your property, consider putting down a three-foot dry barrier of mulch or gravel between your lawn and the woods.
