Why Ticks Are Different

Ticks Don't Usually Live in the Middle of Your Lawn.

Ticks are commonly found in wooded areas, leaf litter, dense vegetation, tall grass and shaded transition zones — not out in the open. That's why we focus our treatments where ticks are most likely to live, rest and travel.

Know where ticks live. That's where we treat.

  • Manicured lawn meeting a wooded tree line behind a stone retaining wall

    Wooded Edges

    Forest edges and tree lines provide ideal habitat.

  • Fallen leaves collected along the edge of a landscape bed

    Leaf Litter

    Fallen leaves create a protected environment for ticks.

  • Dense low shrubs and ground cover in a shaded landscape bed

    Dense Shrubs

    Low vegetation gives ticks cover and a place to rest.

  • Tall unmowed grass along the edge of a backyard lawn

    Tall Grass

    Ticks are commonly found in tall grass and ground cover.

  • Shaded woodland path where a lawn transitions into the woods

    Shaded Transition Areas

    Moist, shaded areas help ticks survive and stay active.
