Ticks favor tall grass, leaf litter, shaded landscaping, brush, and transitions between lawns and wooded edges. An assessment focuses attention on likely habitat and the parts of the property people and pets use most.
Targeted treatment can be paired with habitat changes such as trimming vegetation near paths, removing accumulated leaf litter, and reducing contact with brushy edges. No yard treatment can prevent every tick from entering a property, so routine personal and pet checks remain important.
Timing depends on weather, property conditions, and current activity. Call to discuss the yard and seasonal availability.
