Types of tick treatment

Our tick control services cover both curative and preventative solutions. Technicians use liquid sprays and granular treatments to immediately eliminate ticks and create a powerful barrier against ticks on your property.

Treatment is applied to areas where ticks are most likely to hide, including tall grass, weeds, overgrown zones, and transition areas where the lawn meets wooded or brushy regions. Terminix tick control targets all tick species found in the U.S. and can last between four to six weeks.

In addition to tick treatment, Terminix technicians provide personalized recommendations on how to make your property less tick-friendly. These tips could include landscaping suggestions like keeping the grass cut short, trimming overgrown vegetation, and minimizing tick habitats near walking paths or play areas. By combining professional treatment with preventative recommendations, Terminix can make your yard a haven from ticks even during peak tick season.

Our plan types

The cost of tick control will differ depending on the plan type you choose. Terminix offers two types of tick services which include:

  • Monthly tick control: Regular monthly treatments during tick season to provide continuous protection and effectively reduce tick populations.

  • One-time tick control: A single treatment to eliminate ticks and create a barrier on your property.

Monthly tick control is offered in every state, regardless of the climate or local tick season length. Both treatments include a comprehensive exterior inspection to identify problem areas before tick treatment.

Is tick control worth it?

Recent trends of warmer weather and milder winters have allowed ticks to spread into new regions of the U.S. and live longer. That means a longer tick season and more opportunities for these bugs to be dangerous. Spraying for ticks and investing in tick control is worth it to protect your family and pets, as ticks become a more prevalent backyard pest.
