Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will treatments reduce ticks?

Many customers see a noticeable drop in tick activity within the first week. Monthly visits maintain low populations.

Is treatment safe for kids and pets?

Yes — once dry (usually 30–60 minutes), treated areas are safe. A botanical-based natural option is available upon request.

Do you treat the entire yard?

We focus on high-risk areas like shaded zones, brush, and property edges but can treat lawns as needed.

Do ticks die in winter?

Ticks can survive cold weather by going dormant, which is why spring prevention is key before populations spike.

Can I combine tick service with mosquito control?

Absolutely — combining both provides full outdoor pest protection. See our Platinum Plan for bundled savings.
