Our Tick Control Process

01

Habitat Assessment

We identify tick activity zones — wooded edges, leaf piles, tall grass, stone walls, and garden borders where ticks quest.

02

Treatment

Low-volume misting of EPA-registered tick control product is applied to identified habitat areas, focusing on the zone where lawn meets woods and landscaping borders.

03

Habitat Reduction Recommendations

We advise on reducing tick habitat — clearing leaf litter, creating wood chip or gravel barriers, and moving woodpiles away from the home.

04

Scheduled Follow-up

Retreatment every 4–6 weeks during tick season maintains protection.

Tick Control FAQ for Sacramento Homeowners

How often should Sacramento homeowners get tick control?
Given Sacramento's extreme summer heat regularly exceeding 105°f, most homeowners benefit from tick control at least once a year. Summer heat bleaching and cracking paint and stucco often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Sacramento most need tick control?
Ranch-style homes from 1950s–1980s (dominant) and Victorian homes in Midtown and East Sacramento are the most common home types in Sacramento 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.
