How Our Combined Outdoor Ant, Flea, and Tick Control Works

Squad Yard Defender targets fleas, ticks, and mound-building ants – exceptionally difficult to control insects that are more than just a bother.

The service includes a combination of flea and tick spray for yards prescriptive baiting, and ant mound-drenching techniques.

Our 3-step Yard Defender approach:

1. Inspection – Knowing that fleas and ticks prefer moist, shady, and cool places, our trained professionals look for these areas in your yard.  We also inspect tall grass, natural areas bordering managed turf, and low-lying areas that are especially damp.  Mound-building ants tend to be most visible after heavy rains when colonies are excavated.  Inspecting and identifying the pests in your yard before treatment is crucial for a proper treatment plan and bait selection.  Because new mounds continually emerge, our frequent presence at your home sets us apart to provide the best service for this hard to control pests.
2. Treatment – To treat the dangerous pests in your yard, a long-lasting barrier treatment spray is applied to ideal habitat areas.  Our EPA-registered flea and tick yard spray kills pests on contact, disrupts flea and tick lifecycles, and continues to deter fleas and ticks for up to 21 days.  We also periodically apply granules to control immature stages of these pests, ensuring lifecycle disruption and protection of your yard.  To treat ants, we combine targeted mound drench applications with granular ant bait applications to help eliminate and prevent future mounds.
3. Ongoing management – After your initial treatment, we recommend keeping up with continued services to drench small ant hills and use specialized baits to ensure they do not become massive colonies.  Tick and flea populations can be managed through granular treatment applications in the spring and late summer as well as targeted barrier applications in “tick zones.”

The Dangers of Biting and Stinging Pests

Ticks and fleas are both parasites that feed on the blood of their host.  Fleas can pass along harmful parasites, such as tapeworms, and bacterial disease, such as Typhus.  Common diseases transmitted by ticks include Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Q fever.

Mound-building ants, such as pavement and fire ants, can leave you with painful and itchy spots that blister.  They can also harm your property as they destroy nearby vegetation and negatively impact landscaping.

Fire ants commonly build their mounds in damp soil and grass which can lead to many small biting insects in areas where children and pets play.  These bites can cause infections or even anaphylactic shock.
