Tick Control FAQ for Spokane Homeowners

How often should Spokane homeowners get tick control?
Given Spokane's semi-arid climate — drier than western washington with 17 inches of annual rainfall, most homeowners benefit from tick control at least once a year. Snow removal from roofs and driveways (November–March) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Spokane most need tick control?
Craftsman bungalows in South Hill and South Manito neighborhoods and Victorian and Foursquare homes in Browne's Addition are the most common home types in Spokane 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.
