Deer ticks have complex 2-year life cycles. They are most active from spring through fall and live in the shady, moist areas of your property. The highest tick concentrations will be found in leaf litter, stone walls, wooded areas, tall grassy areas, under shrubs, in ground covers, and in free-standing gardens.

The majority of ticks that are found in lawn areas are located within 9' of the woods line perimeter. We concentrate our efforts on the areas where ticks are likely to survive. It is not always necessary to treat wide open sunny lawn areas. However, we will assess your property and your needs individually to determine if all turf areas will be sprayed.

1. All shrubs, ground covers, and plantings around house foundation.

2. All free-standing gardens and stone walls.

3. Base of trees and below canopies.

4. Up to 30 feet into entire woods line perimeter.

5. 15-20 feet out onto lawn along entire perimeter.

6. Remaining lawn areas if determined to be necessary.

Where Are Ticks Found?

     What Areas Will Be Treated?

Natural programs tend to require more frequent applications than our traditional spray program. Your property conditions, seasonal weather conditions, and pest pressure will determine the exact number of sprays needed. Monthly applications are a great place to start! We would start in the early weeks of Spring and continue into late Fall.
