ISO Yard Tick Control Company?

[GoodOleBoysinPA]

Anybody have any suggestions on a pet friendly(dog) Tick control company for your yard?

I've been using wondercide Flea and Tick spray myself.  Not really sure if it works though.

Looking for a professional.

 

Thanks in advance.

Not sure how well that works depending on your property layout.  Does it just kill ticks currently in the grass but new ones can crawl across the lawn a week later?   Lyme's starts with mice so what’s a pretty popular method of control is tick tubes.  Get old paper towel/toilet paper tubes and stuff with cotton balls soaked in permethrin.  Scatter the tubes about the property. Mice will take the cotton to make nest and when they crawl through the cotton balls the young ticks living on the mice will come into contact with permethrin and die.

DIY with a pump sprayer and a gallon of 10% permethrin from tractor supply.  80z to a gallon of water.  Use water base permethrin if you have direct runoff into water, otherwise the petroleum base is fine.  Most likely is the same stuff the companies are using.  It's a plant base chemical only harmful to cats if you spray them with it, or to bees if sprayed on flowers.  Now is the time to do it.  I spray 3-4' around the perimeter of my 1/2 acre, around all the shrubs and where the dogs mostly go, then keep the lawn short.  Ticks don't like the heat and will fry if they are exposed to the sun on a hot day. Do the whole lawn if you have thick grass.  I put the 2.5gl sprayer on the lawn tractor and drive around while spraying.  Easy to diy

I use the permethrin on my hunting gear about a week before I go hunting. Works great!!

where are the possims? They work too.   Research on captive Virginia opossums estimated that opossums eat, on average, 5500 larval ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) per week.
