Tick Control in Overland Park

You may be aware that ticks are tiny arachnids that pose a health threat to humans and pets. However, you may not know that ticks could be present on your lawn. Despite the common belief that ticks only reside in forested areas, they are more likely to make their habitat in tall grasses, shrubbery, wood piles, and landscaping elements such as stone walls. To ensure your family has adequate protection from these sly pests, you can get started with our tick control treatments, available in Overland Park, Shawnee, Lenexa, Leawood, Mission, or a community in the surrounding areas.

You may be wondering how ticks could make their way onto your lawn in the first place. These hard-to-spot creatures wait patiently for large or small animals to come near them and then attach themselves to their prey. When these animals, whether birds, rodents, or deer, trespass onto your lawn, they bring the ticks along with them.

That’s why proper tick control involves prevention, targeted treatments, and ongoing maintenance. Here’s how these three phases are incorporated into our program:

• Prevention. Our technicians possess deep knowledge of tick behavior and can perform a thorough inspection of your property to determine which areas are most likely to harbor ticks. Then, they can provide personalized suggestions for making these areas less welcoming. For example, they may recommend pruning overgrown trees and shrubs, erecting a fence to keep larger animals out, or relocating wood piles.
• Control. Next comes our targeted treatments for knocking out ticks. We apply the treatment product on leafy vegetation where ticks like to hide and wait for prey to pass by. You can trust that the treatment will work quickly and give you rapid relief from a tick infestation.
• Ongoing maintenance. A one-time treatment won’t do the job of keeping ticks off of your lawn for good. That’s why we’ll return regularly for repeat applications, helping maintain a protective shield for your lawn and giving you peace of mind about spending time outdoors with your family and pets.
