Live Life Lyme Free: Tick Control for Family Homes

Lyme Disease is a debilitating, potentially fatal disease. It’s spread by ticks – tiny insects that are so small it can be hard to see them with your naked eye. Everyone is vulnerable to Lyme Disease, but it’s most dangerous if you’re very young, very old, or have other serious health conditions.

One way to avoid Lyme Disease is to never, ever go outside, but at this point in the pandemic, everyone’s had enough of that idea. Another route forward is to work with your Allston lawn care company to ensure your yard is safe and tick free.

Here’s how that works:

Yard Armor Tick Control uses a family and pet safe product that’s applied directly to tick breeding and nesting sites on your property. These products are highly effective and will eliminate the ticks that are currently in those locations.

Because ticks travel, it’s essential to eliminate attractive nesting and breeding sites from your property. Our team of experts will work with you to identify problem sites, and provide you with targeted guidance you can use to keep the ticks from coming back. These strategies are individualized based on your unique property but can include things like keeping the shrubs pruned back, removing leaves and other ground litter promptly, and cutting the grass to a shorter height.

Ongoing tick control is available from a lawn service in Allston. This takes the form of repeated treatments to nesting and breeding sites. The reason ongoing tick control is necessary is that ticks are highly mobile insects. They hitch rides on animals and people as well as traveling under their own power, as they are continually on the search for food and a place to mate and lay eggs.
