Comprehensive Tick Control & Prevention for Your Yard

Did you know that ticks will arrive before mosquitoes and hang around after the mosquitoes are gone? Ticks appear once the spring ground temperature is above 45 degrees Fahrenheit, and they stick around until well past freezing temperatures in winter, so it’s important to have an effective tick control plan in place in advance.

At Mosquito Joe, we don’t just solve your immediate problem. We set you up for long-term success. Our comprehensive pest control services are designed to allow you to enjoy your patio and outdoor spaces without the threat of disease-carrying bites.

After targeting the existing ticks on your property, we will focus on tick control and prevention. Taking these steps can make your property less hospitable to these pesky biters.

With help from Mosquito Joe, you can get ahead of any ticks, mosquitoes, and other outdoor pest control issues on your property by denying these pests the habitat they crave. Here are some easy things to do to supplement your tick prevention for yards:

• Keep grass mowed and trees trimmed to cut down on tick breeding places.
• Move wood piles away from the home to remove tick hiding places.
• Keep pets out of thickly wooded areas where tick activity is high.
• Move swing sets, sandboxes, and other play areas away from wooded areas.
• Wear long sleeves and pants when walking in wooded or grassy areas to avoid tick bites.
• Wash clothing immediately after coming inside and inspect kids and pets for ticks.
• Install tick tubes around your property for broader, long-term prevention.
• Use professional Mosquito Joe outdoor tick spray services like barrier spray every three weeks to protect your yard and family from ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes.

Tailored Tick Treatment Solutions

The best tick prevention combines comprehensive pest inspections, tailored tick treatments, and developing a plan to make your property less attractive to nasty biters.

Out of approximately 850 tick species worldwide, 90 make their home in the U.S. Some have a hard exoskeleton; others have a tough, leathery exterior. Each species has its unique susceptibility and defense to chemical pesticides. Your locally owned and operated Mosquito Joe will know exactly which treatment to use to effectively repel the ticks that call your area home.

Although some tick species are more resistant to certain insecticides, similar ecological needs make them all sensitive to the tick prevention steps you can take to protect your property.

Part of being proactive is understanding things like how far ticks jump and what they feed on. As it turns out, ticks can’t jump or fly! That’s a myth. They can only crawl. They sit on the tips of grass and shrubs waiting for warm-blooded hosts to pass by. When brushed by a moving animal or person, ticks quickly let go of the vegetation and climb onto the host to bite.

To avoid this, use tick prevention methods of your own and let Mosquito Joe provide our tick removal service for your yard. Our tick control barrier sprays the zone where ticks live and creates a barrier against these intruders.

Tick Control FAQ & Answers

Since 2010, Mosquito Joe professionals have been committed to keeping the outdoors fun for everyone. This includes providing environmentally sound pest control services that protect you and your family from stinging and biting insects. It also means using our many years of experience to answer your questions. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our tick control services.

Are tick treatments okay to use around people and pets?

Some tick control treatments contain Tetrachlorvinphos (TCVP), a powerful chemical that kills ticks but also presents a threat to people and their pets. To make sure all of our clients are protected, Mosquito Joe takes great care to formulate our tick pest control to effectively rid your property of the nasty biters without the use of TCVP. We do recommend that you allow our tick control spray dry for a full 30 minutes before allowing pets or kids to go back into the treated area. Once it has dried, all of our treatments are well tolerated by people and pets.

How often should tick control treatments be done?

Due to the complex tick life cycle, treatments should be done monthly. Start in the spring when the ground temperature reaches 45℉ and continue past the first hard ground freeze.

What happens during a tick control service visit?

When you work with Mosquito Joe to secure your property from ticks, we send a service professional to your property once a month. They will apply a liquid insecticide formulated to target ticks along your property lines and treat your shrubs, ornamental plantings, and any overgrown vegetation with our tick control. They will also pay close attention to any structures, like decks, patios, sheds, dog houses, kennels, pet bedding, sidewalks, and pathways. We ask that you keep any kids or pets inside during our tick pest control treatment and for at least 30 minutes following the application to allow it to dry.

How effective are tick control services?

Tick control services are highly effective at killing 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 kill 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.

What is the best treatment for a tick infestation?

This depends heavily on the type of tick and the environment where they live. Keeping up with yard maintenance will help to prevent tick infestations before they start. However, if they’ve already made your home their own, here are some things that can help:

• Barrier sprays
• Infrared-light powered heated insect traps
• Tick tubes
• Essential oils
• Diatomaceous earth powder

What should I do if I still see ticks after treatment?

While you’ll see fewer ticks after your first treatment, it’s not unusual to still spot a few on your property. But don’t worry! Treatments can take up to a week to fully kick in. Those little biters you see are scrambling to get away from your property!

Can tick control treatments also prevent other pests?

Sometimes! Other insects, rodents, and some deer can also be repelled by your tick control treatments. In fact, some barrier sprays have been created specifically to repel mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas with one blend! Other eco-friendly treatments, including garlic, apple cider vinegar, and essential oils, are also good at preventing other pests from moving into your space.
