When Should You Treat Your Yard for Ticks?

Partnering with Mosquito Squad of Princeton means you don’t have to treat your yard for ticks. We’ll take care of it for you.
Online sources will recommend self-treating your yard for ticks only in the springtime. Logically, this means that if you can reduce the number of ticks around your yard early in their development process, you will see fewer blood-thirsty adults in the late summer and fall. Additionally, the most prolific spreaders of Lyme disease are nymph ticks – very small, young adult ticks that are most active in the springtime. However, one tick treatment in the spring will not fortify your property against ticks.
Somerset tick control is not a one-and-done affair.
Mosquito Squad of Princeton’s tick control does not equate to a single treatment. That is because we know that one treatment that is aimlessly applied by a non-professional very likely will not produce the desired outcome. Our trained tick control technicians do much more than spray your yard for ticks.
Upon arrival, they will thoroughly inspect the areas outside your home to identify potential tick breeding and questing areas. They will work to break these areas up and recommend ways you can allay tick habitats from forming on your property. At that point, they will apply our traditional barrier treatment to help protect your property from the threat of ticks for about three weeks.
Tick control in Somerset does not end with spring…or summer.
To continue defending your yard against the threat of ticks in the fall and winter months, Mosquito Squad of Princeton offers a tick tube regimen. This method of treating your yard for ticks is a set-it-and-forget-it approach, whereby our technicians strategically deploy tick tubes around your property in the fall. After that, it will be up to ground rodents to take the treated cotton back to their nests, where ticks are apt to come in contact with the cotton or the rodent. Our hope with tick tubes is to hit them where they live and breed to interrupt their life cycle, resulting in fewer emerging ticks in the spring.
Somerset mosquito control is an added benefit.
Since ticks are not the only potentially harmful pests around your home, you will be happy to know that our traditional barrier treatment also works for mosquitoes. Dual defense is the hallmark of Mosquito Squad’s pest control treatments. Available in traditional and natural treatment formulas, you can expect to see up to 85-90% fewer ticks around your property for two to three weeks at a time.
Mosquito Squad of Princeton aims to help your yard be more comfortable and enjoyable by providing proactive protection against the threat of mosquitoes and ticks throughout the season.
