Don't let ticks take over your property in South Dakota or Iowa. Keep them away by applying regular treatments to your property during the tick season! Tick season begins in mid-spring and ends in later summer. For the best results, you should be spraying treatments throughout these months. It's typical for pest control products to last around four weeks, which isn't long enough to cover the entire tick season. Therefore, spraying every 30 days from spring to summer is required to yield the best result, and treatments should slightly overlap to prevent the ticks from reinfesting your property. To make your life easier, however, sign up for a professional tick control program. Professionals will use the right products at the right times to ensure your property remains tick-free, and you won't have to do any of the work!

When is tick season in your area?

If you want to encourage a tick-free lawn throughout the year, then you first need to know when tick season is in your specific area! Treating your property for ticks from the beginning until the end of the active season is one of the best ways to prevent an infestation. In South Dakota and Iowa, tick season starts in mid-spring (May) when most new life begins to pop up. It ends in late summer (September) as the cooler temperatures begin to sweep in. For the best results, you should be spraying throughout the entire tick season.

How often do you need to spray for ticks?

Spraying for ticks isn't something you can do only one time and be done. In order for the treatment to be effective, it should be applied multiple times during the season. It is typical for pest control products to last about four weeks before they wear off. Tick season is much longer than four weeks, so one treatment is not enough to carry you through the entire season. Instead, you'll need to spray your property approximately every 30 days throughout tick season to cover it in its entirety. To prevent a lapse in coverage, you should also apply each new treatment before the previous one wears off.

Make your life easier by signing up for a professional tick control program.

It only takes one time to forget to apply the tick treatment for the infestation to reappear. This can be avoided by signing up for a professional tick control program! When you leave it to professionals, you won't have to remember to keep reapplying the treatments. You can also rest easy knowing that the right products are being used to keep your property free of ticks and you won't have to do any work yourself.

Professionals will conduct an initial inspection to identify any harborage areas that should be focused on during the treatment.
