Understanding Tick Habits

Ticks are most commonly found in wooded or grassy areas, making your lawn and garden prime locations for an infestation. They attach themselves to hosts such as deer, rodents, and pets and then find their way into your home. Ticks are resilient and can survive for extended periods without feeding, making them difficult to control without professional help.

Steps for Effective Tick Control

The first step in tick control is to reduce tick habitats on your property. This includes regularly mowing the lawn, trimming shrubs, and removing leaf litter where ticks like to hide. Creating a barrier between wooded areas and your lawn using gravel or wood chips can also deter ticks from crossing into your yard.

Professional tick treatments are a crucial component of an effective control strategy. At Superior Spray, we use targeted applications that focus on areas where ticks are most likely to be found. This includes the perimeter of your property, tall grasses, and shaded areas. Regular treatments throughout the year ensure that tick populations remain low, especially during peak tick season.

Additional Preventive Measures

In addition to professional treatments, consider using tick control products on your pets, such as tick collars, topical treatments, or oral medications. These products can significantly reduce the risk of ticks attaching to your pets and being brought indoors. It’s also important to regularly check your pets and family members for ticks after spending time outdoors.

Effective tick control requires a combination of property maintenance, professional treatments, and preventive measures. By addressing the issue on multiple fronts, you can protect your family and pets from the dangers of ticks.
