Where are Deer Ticks Found?

 

Deer ticks have complex 2-year life cycles. They are most active from spring through fall and live in the shady, moist areas of your property. The highest tick concentrations will be found in leaf litter, stone walls, wooded areas, tall grassy areas, under shrubs, in ground covers, and in free-standing gardens.

 

The majority of ticks that are found in lawn areas are located within 9' of the woods line perimeter. We concentrate our efforts on the areas where ticks are likely to survive. It is not always necessary to treat wide open sunny lawn areas. However, we will assess your property and your needs individually to determine if all turf areas will be sprayed.
