Tick treatments are most effective when applied every 3–5 weeks during tick season, which typically runs from early spring through fall.
Factors That Affect Treatment Frequency
- Tick population density
- Presence of woods or wildlife
- Weather conditions
- Property size and layout
Seasonal Strategy
- Early spring: Preventive treatments
- Peak summer: Consistent maintenance
- Fall: Final treatments before dormancy
Skipping treatments allows ticks to rebound quickly. Consistency is essential for reducing risk to people and pets.
