Tick Treatments Service
Tick Treatment Services employ various methods and products to control and eliminate ticks from infested areas.
Here are some common techniques and treatments used by professional pest control services:
Spray Treatments: Professional pest control technicians may apply insecticides to outdoor areas such as lawns, gardens, and wooded areas where ticks are likely to reside. These insecticides are usually formulated to target ticks specifically.
Granular Treatments: Granular insecticides can be spread across the yard to target ticks and their habitats. These products release pesticides slowly over time, providing longer-lasting protection.
Perimeter Treatments: Creating a barrier around the perimeter of the property using insecticides can help prevent ticks from entering the area.
Crack and Crevice Treatment: Pest control technicians may apply insecticides to cracks, crevices, and other potential hiding places inside the home where ticks may be present.
Residual Sprays: Insecticide sprays may be used indoors to target ticks hiding in carpets, upholstery, and other surfaces. These sprays leave a residual effect, killing ticks for an extended period.
It's important to consult with a professional pest control service to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation and to ensure the safe and effective control of ticks.
How to Control ?
- Personal Protection: Wear long sleeves, pants, and closed-toe shoes when walking in wooded or grassy areas. Tuck pants into socks to prevent ticks from crawling up your legs.
- Tick Repellents: Use EPA-approved insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or permethrin on exposed skin and clothing to repel ticks.
- Tick-Proof Your Yard: Create a tick-safe zone around your home by keeping grass mowed short, removing leaf litter, and clearing brush and tall vegetation where ticks thrive.
- Pet Protection: Use tick prevention products such as spot-on treatments, collars, or oral medications on pets. Check pets for ticks after they've been outdoors.
