Mosquitoes get a lot of attention during summers in Alabama. But as a homeowner, they aren’t the only pest you need to worry about. Like mosquitoes, ticks pose a serious health hazard to people and pets. Without protection against these eight-legged menaces, you and your family could be at risk. Our tick control services in Southside offer an ideal solution to this problem, giving you an easy way to keep ticks out of your yard.
Below, we’ll explain what makes tick control so important for families in Southside. After that, we’ll tell you how our Yard Armour® service keeps your family protected.
The Importance of Tick Control in Southside
If you enjoy spending time outdoors, ticks are a problem. As carriers of dangerous illnesses, these tiny arachnids can infect people and pets with a single bite. The most common tick-borne illnesses include conditions like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, both of which can be life-threatening without treatment.
While ticks are less annoying than mosquitoes, that can make them even more dangerous. Many people don’t realize they’ve suffered a tick bite until days or weeks later—if they notice at all.
Ticks like to hang out in bushy or wooded areas with plenty of vegetation. If that describes part of your backyard, your outdoor space could be putting you and your loved one at risk for tick bites.
The good news? With Yard Armour protection, you can dramatically reduce the risk of tick encounters on your property.
How Yard Armour Works
Lawn Doctor of Gadsden offers tick control in Southside through a program called Yard Armour. This program uses a three-pronged approach to prevent and combat tick activity.
First, we focus on strategies you can use to discourage and prevent ticks. We’ll help identify tick-prone areas on your property and give you detailed advice on how to maintain these areas and make them less tick friendly.
Second, we target breeding and nesting areas with a treatment product that neutralizes ticks on contact. This product remains active for weeks after application, so your yard stays protected during this time.
Finally, we perform regular visits to check on your yard and perform new tick control treatments. This way, you can keep ticks out of your yard throughout the active season.
As a locally owned and operated company, we take pride in keeping the Southside area protected against ticks. Our services are available to homeowners in:
- Southside
- Gadsden
- Rainbow City
- Hokes Bluff
- Glencoe
- And throughout surrounding areas
