Protect Your Property from Pests

---

1. Physical Barriers: 

• Gravel or Wood Chip Barriers:Creating a 3-foot wide barrier of gravel or wood chips between your lawn and areas like wooded areas or overgrown areas can prevent ticks from migrating into your yard. Ticks dislike these dry, hard surfaces. 
• Fences:A fence can act as a physical barrier to deter deer and other wildlife that may carry ticks into your yard. 

2. Yard Sprays and Treatments: 

• Area-Applied Acaricides:These treatments involve spraying chemical insecticides in specific areas of your yard to kill ticks. 
• Targeted Treatments:Professionals can identify tick habitats and apply specialized solutions that kill ticks on contact and extend protection. 
• Botanical Oil Bases:These treatments can smother ticks and provide a long-lasting repellent effect on plant foliage. 

3. Tick Tubes: 

• Treated Cotton: Tick tubes are placed strategically in your yard and filled with treated cotton. Mice will use this cotton for nesting, and the treatment kills ticks that are feeding on them. 

4. Other Important Considerations: 

• Tick Habitats:Identifying and eliminating tick habitats like tall grass, weeds, and leaf litter is crucial. Reducing humidity and increasing sunlight in these areas can also help. 
• Deer Control:Deer can carry ticks, so keeping them out of your yard with fencing or other deterrents can help reduce tick populations. 
• Rodent Control:Since ticks often feed on rodents, controlling rodent populations can also help reduce the tick population. 
• Clothing and Gear:Treating clothing and gear with permethrin can provide an extra layer of protection against ticks. 
• Personal Repellents:Using EPA-approved insect repellents can also help protect against tick bites. 

By implementing a combination of these strategies, you can effectively create a tick-safe environment around your home

• Mosquito barrier treatments are effective in reducing mosquito populations and enhancing outdoor enjoyment.
• These treatments can last up to 21 days, depending on environmental conditions such as rain and irrigation.
• Various application methods allow consumers to choose synthetic and botanical options tailored to specific needs.

Mosquitoes have long been challenging to control, given their ability to breed rapidly and spread various diseases. Mosquito barrier sprays offer a practical solution for controlling mosquito populations around homes and public spaces. The barrier these sprays create keeps mosquitoes out of treated areas. Homeowners can protect their properties from these persistent invaders by applying the mosquito barrier treatment. Organizations such as the American Mosquito Control Association recognize the effective use of these sprays, which found them capable of reducing mosquito populations significantly in treated zones.

It works on pests like:

1. Ants
2. Cockroaches
3. Centipedes
4. Millipedes
5. Spiders
6. Silverfish
7. Crickets

Perimeter pest control works by using pest control products to create a “shield” around your property that prevents pests from entering in the first place. This is a proactive approach that helps to keep bugs out before they even have a chance to get in.

This approach differs from extermination services, which deal with pests already present in your home. Given the rapid breeding and multiplication of pests, the concept behind perimeter pest control is to tackle them before they infiltrate your living space. The pest control product is applied externally, reinforcing the shield analogy.
