When you’re spending time in your backyard, tick-borne diseases should be the last thing on your mind. The problem is, it only takes a single tick bite to catch one of these illnesses. That’s where our Yard Armour tick control program can make a big difference for backyards in Vestavia.
Yard Armour offers a proven way to get rid of existing ticks and prevent new tick populations. For families in Vestavia, it’s a convenient and affordable way to reduce the risk of tick-borne disease when spending time outside.
Hiring a tick control service for the first time? Below, we’ll explain why tick treatments are so important for your yard. After that, we’ll show you how Yard Armour stops ticks on your home turf.
The Importance of Tick Control in Vestavia
When you look at a tick, it’s hard to imagine that this tiny, pinhead-sized arachnid could be a serious health hazard. Despite this, ticks are among the most dangerous animals in the U.S.
Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of other animals. This allows ticks to transmit dangerous bacteria and viruses into the bloodstream. It only takes a tiny amount of these pathogens to make a person seriously sick. The same is true of pets, including dogs, which are frequent tick targets.
According to the CDC, rates of tick-borne illness have doubled since 1991. In 2019 alone, more than 50,000 cases of tick-borne disease were reported within the U.S. Many of these cases started close to home, in areas like backyards and home gardens.
By hiring a tick control service, you can reduce tick populations on your property and help minimize the risk of tick exposure. That way, you and your family will be at lower risk for a tick-borne illness.
Stay Protected with Yard Armour
At Lawn Doctor of Birmingham-Hoover, we take pride in keeping families in Vestavia protected against ticks. We do this through our Yard Armour tick control program, which fights ticks in three distinct ways.
First, we work with homeowners to prevent tick activity. We will carefully assess your yard and offer tips you can use to make it less tick-friendly.
Next, we target existing tick populations. By applying Yard Armour to the areas where ticks like to nest and breed, we can neutralize active ticks on your property.
Finally, we maintain protection by performing routine treatments during tick season. We will create a custom treatment plan that keeps your yard protected from spring through fall.
