With Yard Armour, you can protect your yard against ticks and protect your family against tick-borne illnesses.
Hiring tick control services for the first time? Below, we’ll explain why stopping ticks is so important, along with how Yard Armour fights ticks in Spring.
The Importance of Tick Control in Spring
When you look at a tick, it’s hard to imagine it’s actually a dangerous creature. At their largest, ticks grow to roughly a quarter-inch in length. At their smallest, they’re almost invisible. At this size, ticks themselves do little damage. The problem lies in the bacteria and viruses that ticks spread through their bites.
When ticks feed on people or animals, these bacteria and viruses get into the victim’s bloodstream. Once there, they can lead to dangerous and potentially life-threatening illnesses, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease.
The only way to prevent these conditions is by avoiding tick bites in the first place. That’s hard to do if your yard contains tick-friendly areas, such as grassy, bushy, or wooded areas.
With our Yard Armour program, families in Spring have an easy way to fight back against ticks on their property. By reducing the number of ticks, we reduce the chance of tick bites, which means a lower risk of tick-borne illness.
Our Yard Armour Tick Control Plans
Yard Armour tick control works thanks to three distinct components, each of which helps keep ticks out of your yard.
- First, we’ll carefully assess your yard to find areas that are vulnerable to ticks. Following this, we can provide you with detailed recommendations to make your yard a less tick-friendly space. Common suggestions include regularly pruning trees and shrubs, or landscaping changes that prevent tick activity.
- After this, we will target tick hotspots for a Yard Armour treatment. We use a product that neutralizes ticks on contact, and which prevents new tick activity after it’s been applied. This product has the advantage of being odorless and virtually undetectable to people and pets, which makes it a great choice for backyards.
- Finally, we’ll develop a treatment plan that keeps your yard protected throughout tick season in Spring. By performing regular treatments, we can maintain protection week after week and month after month.
