Tick Control FAQ for New Orleans Homeowners

How often should New Orleans homeowners get tick control?
Given New Orleans's year-round heat and humidity — avg high 91°f in summer with extreme dewpoints, most homeowners benefit from tick control at least once a year. Year-round termite treatment and monitoring (Formosan threat is severe) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in New Orleans most need tick control?
Shotgun houses and Creole cottages (architectural signatures of New Orleans) and Double shotguns converted to single-family are the most common home types in New Orleans and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
When is tick season?
Deer ticks (the primary Lyme disease vector) are active April through November, with peak activity in spring and fall. American dog ticks are most active in spring and early summer. Some tick activity occurs even in winter above freezing.
How long does tick spray last?
Professional tick treatments last 4–6 weeks. Retreatment every 4–6 weeks during the active season maintains protection. Treatment after heavy rain may need to happen sooner.
Do I need to treat inside my home for ticks?
Ticks rarely establish indoors. Treatment focus should be on outdoor areas where ticks quest — yard edges, garden borders, and wooded areas. If you find ticks indoors, the source is likely being brought in on people, pets, or wildlife.
Is tick spray safe for children and pets?
Allow the treated area to dry for 1–2 hours before children and pets access it. We also offer organic botanical treatments for families preferring chemical-free options.
