Tick & Mosquito Yard Treatment in Arnold & Jefferson County
If your yard backs up to woods or a creek, which describes a lot of Jefferson County, you know the drill. Mosquitoes at dusk, ticks on the dog after every walk.
We treat the shady spots where they rest during the day: under decks, along fence lines, shrubs and the edge of the tree line. We also dump or treat standing water where mosquitoes breed.
Signs you have ticks & mosquitoes
- Getting bitten within minutes of sitting outside in the evening
- Finding ticks on pets or kids after time in the yard
- Standing water in buckets, tarps, gutters or low spots
- Tall grass or brush along the edges of the property
How we handle it
- 1 Walk the yard to find breeding water and resting areas.
- 2 Treat foliage, fence lines, under decks and the wood line.
- 3 Repeat about every three to four weeks through the season, since one treatment won't hold all summer.
What you can do in the meantime
- Dump anything that holds water once a week, even bottle caps
- Clean gutters so they drain
- Keep grass short and cut back brush along the edges
- Check pets and kids for ticks after time outside
