Tick Pest Control for Backyard

Tick control involves targeted treatments designed to reduce and repel ticks that love to hide out in your yard. Our local tick control experts come to your property, assess your surroundings, and create a personalized pest control plan that works for your specific outdoor space. By targeting the right areas, we help you avoid wasting money on treatments that won’t work, giving you real results for your property.

DIY methods often fall short because they don’t address the individual factors that impact successful tick control. For example, you might miss areas where ticks are hiding out or fail to use the right products at the right time. Our local tick control experts understand the lifecycle of ticks, including where they live and lurk, and strategically apply the necessary treatments to deliver long-lasting protection and peace of mind. Let us take care of the ticks and make outside fun again.

Due to the complex tick life cycle, tick control treatments should be performed monthly. Although there’s never a bad time to start, the best time to schedule your first treatment is in the spring when the ground temperature reaches 45℉. Tick treatments should continue past the first hard ground freeze.

Tick control services are highly effective at removing existing ticks on your property. But for optimum protection, we encourage you to supplement our treatments with your own tick-prevention steps. While our treatments get rid of the ticks currently on your property, your efforts can deny new invaders the shelter they seek. By coordinating our tactics, we can provide a more comprehensive property protection strategy—together.

Your locally owned and operated Mosquito Joe knows exactly which treatments to apply to effectively repel the ticks that call your area home.

We’ll also focus on areas such as decks, patios, sheds, pet bedding, sidewalks, and pathways.
