As tick-related diseases continue to increase, along with new stories of people suffering from Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Southern tick-associated rash illness, and other illnesses spread by contact with ticks, more and more people are turning to pest control experts for a solution in their backyard. When ticks start coming in on pets, kids, and even the adults living in a home, families want to know that their yard has the right treatment to get the job done. Here's what you need to know about tick spray for your yard.
Does tick spray really work?
Yes. Tick spray really works. When you have your yard treated with the right products, in the right amounts, in the right intervals, tick spray reduces all ticks present in your yard and kills new ticks that come into your yard for 30-45 days after the treatment depending on the weather during that time. While getting tick sprays for your yard is important, it's also important to retreat to keep the ticks away as the products only last for a little over a month.
Getting rid of ticks
Can you do it yourself? Rather than explain why DIY efforts fall short, let's talk about why hiring a professional is the better solution.
