What You Need to Know About Controlling Tick Population Where You Live
Do you look forward all winter long to warm weather, only to be overwhelmed by the presence of ticks throughout spring, summer and fall? Deer ticks have expanded their range in the United States by 50% since 1996, and now can be found in all 50 states. Ticks are famously resilient, but there are steps you can take yourself towards controlling tick population on your property. Alternatively, you can hire a pest control company like ours to take care of some or all of the steps for you. Keep reading for our tips for controlling tick population, and learn about the services we have to offer that will ensure a tick-free summer and fall.
Tips for Controlling Tick Population: Target Their Habitats
Ticks live and breed in a variety of locations. Determining where ticks are active on your property, and removing these breeding grounds and habitats is the first step towards controlling a tick population. Wood piles, compost piles, leaf piles and areas covered in dead leaves, tall grasses and brush can all harbor ticks, especially if neglected. Rake up dead leaves, clear brush and tall grasses, and organize your wood piles and compost areas. Or choose an Initial Cleanup Package from Kinder Spray, and we’ll take care of all these tasks for you, and more! Our experience and understanding of tick behavior gives us an advantage in controlling tick population on our customers’ properties.
Tips for Controlling Tick Population: Use Cedar Oil Spray
Cedar oil spray is our method of choice for tick control. This natural product has unique properties that make it deadly to ticks, but safe for humans and pets. It acts on multiple body systems of pesky arthropods such as ticks, rendering them unable to survive, while leaving beneficial arthropods like lady bugs unharmed. Cedar oil destroys ticks at every stage of life: eggs, larvae, nymphs, and adults. You can obtain cedar oil and spray it yourself around your property at regular intervals throughout spring, summer and fall. Or, you can sign up for a Spray Package with Kinder Spray. The sprays we use kill and deter not only ticks, but mosquitoes and fleas as well.
