Tick control treatments target ticks at multiple stages of their life cycle. Most professional applications focus on the areas where ticks live and breed, rather than open lawn space.
Key Target Areas
- Tall grass
- Shrub lines
- Leaf litter
- Wooded edges
- Stone walls
Types of Tick Treatments
Barrier Sprays
Applied along property borders and shaded areas, these create a protective zone ticks avoid.
Growth Regulators
Interrupt tick reproduction cycles by preventing larvae from maturing.
Host Control
Some treatments target rodents and deer, which transport ticks into yards.
Effective tick control relies on proper placement and timing, not blanket spraying.
