What Is Yard Defense?

Seasonal Protection for Outdoor Living Areas

Yard Defense is a recurring outdoor pest-control service designed to reduce mosquito and tick activity around the areas where your family spends time.

Treatments are focused on qualifying vegetation, shrubs, wooded edges, shaded areas, fence lines, landscaping and outdoor living spaces where mosquitoes and ticks commonly rest or travel.

Standard Yard Defense treatments are generally performed once per month from April through October. Because new mosquitoes and ticks can continually enter a property from neighboring areas and surrounding wildlife, the service is designed for ongoing seasonal reduction rather than permanent elimination.

Where We Treat

Areas Mosquitoes and Ticks Commonly Use

Yard Defense focuses on qualifying outdoor areas that provide shade, moisture, vegetation or travel routes for mosquitoes and ticks.

Shrubs and Landscaping

Dense vegetation and shaded landscaping may provide resting areas for adult mosquitoes.

Wooded Edges

Woodlines, leaf litter and brushy borders can create favorable tick habitat and mosquito resting zones.

Fence Lines and Perimeters

Property edges and animal-travel routes may contribute to tick movement through a yard.

Outdoor Living Areas

Treatment may include qualifying areas around patios, play areas, decks and frequently used portions of the yard.

Each visit is focused on current property conditions and qualifying mosquito and tick habitat.

Important Service Information

What to Expect From Mosquito and Tick Control

Yard Defense is designed to reduce pest pressure and improve outdoor comfort. Outdoor pest activity cannot be completely controlled from one property alone.

Reduction, Not Total Elimination

Mosquitoes and ticks can continually enter a yard from neighboring properties, wildlife, wooded areas and untreated surroundings. Recurring service helps maintain reduction throughout the season.

Weather Can Affect Scheduling

Heavy rain, high winds or other unsuitable weather may require a treatment to be delayed or rescheduled so the service can be performed properly.

Property Conditions Matter

Dense vegetation, standing water, leaf litter, wildlife activity and nearby woods can influence pest pressure and the results of a seasonal treatment program.

Do I need to be home for service?

Customers generally do not need to be home when the technician has safe access to the treatment areas and any locked gates are opened. Specific preparation or access instructions will be provided when needed.

What happens if it rains on my treatment day?

Light weather conditions may not affect every treatment, but heavy rain, strong winds or unsuitable conditions may require service to be delayed or rescheduled.
