Yard Tick Prevention for Pets Near Acushnet, MA

Is Tick Spray Safe for Pets?

Mosquitos are found all over the world, and they can thrive in a variety of habitats, including swamps, marshes, and other wetlands. They are particularly abundant in areas with standing water, which provides a breeding ground for mosquito larvae. However, some species of mosquitos can also breed in small amounts of water, such as those found in plant saucers, old tires, and other artificial containers.

How Our Product Works

We use bifenthrin for yard tick prevention around pets. Bifenthrin is widely used worldwide because it is effective, long-lasting, and virtually harmless when correctly diluted. It’s a synthesized chemical modeled after natural compounds found in chrysanthemum flowers. For clients who still have concerns, we also carry 100%, all-natural products.
Tick treatment around pets targets areas where these bugs breed and hide. We also put down a barrier around the property to prevent migrating insects. All people and animals must stay off the lawn for 30 minutes after application or until the product has thoroughly dried.

Keeping Parasites Away: Home and Yard Management

Professional pet tick control is even more effective when simple measures are taken to prevent these bugs from returning year after year. Keeping grass trimmed, removing leaf litter, and creating tick-safe zones where pets play are critical. You should also restrict other mammals from entering your yard, as they may be carrying parasites.

Regularly Check Your Pet

Another essential measure is to regularly inspect fur and skin for parasites. Use a fine-tooth comb or your fingers to inspect fur, ears, the neck, and paws. Feel for raised bumps and look for bite marks. You should perform these checks when they come inside after playing or after visiting parks and other outdoor areas. 

Preventive Treatments

Ask your vet about parasite preventives, including collars and topical or oral treatments. There are specific products made for dogs and cats, and many use the same ingredients as our insecticides.
