Tick Exterminator Services - RECON Pest Services
Ticks hide in tall grass and can jump on you as you walk by. These blood-sucking bugs carry diseases like Lyme disease and can make people and pets very sick. At RECON Pest Services, our tick extermination methods are designed to keep these dangerous pests out of your yard.
Our pest control services target ticks where they live and breed. We spray your lawn, bushes, and fence lines to kill ticks before they have a chance to bite your family or pets. You’ll no longer have to check for ticks after every walk outside.
The woods and tall grass areas of Nebraska are full of ticks from spring through fall. Ticks wait on the tips of grass blades and grab onto people and animals that brush by. Once a tick is on you, it will look for a warm spot to bite and begin to feed.
Our Tick Control Services
We get rid of ticks with fast and effective treatments.
- Yard Tick Treatment: We kill ticks living in your grass and bushes. Our team sprays all the areas where ticks hide during the day as they wait for a victim to walk by.
- Perimeter Tick Control: We create a barrier around your house and deck to stop ticks from getting close to where kids and pets play.
- Wooded Area Treatment: We target ticks in wooded areas and brush piles, focusing on the shady spots where ticks thrive during hot summer days.
- Pet-Safe Tick Control: We use products that won’t harm dogs and cats. Your pets can play in the yard right after the spray dries without getting sick.
- Deer Tick Elimination: We focus on the tiny ticks that are known to spread Lyme disease. These small ticks are difficult to see but can cause the most significant health problems.
Tick Prevention Tips
- Keep Grass Short: Mow your lawn weekly during tick season. Ticks cannot climb tall grass easily and prefer areas over three inches high.
- Remove Leaf Piles: Rake up and remove leaf piles and brush from your yard. These areas stay damp and provide perfect hiding spots for ticks during hot days.
- Create Gravel Barriers: Install a gravel barrier between your lawn and any wooded areas. Ticks don’t like to cross dry gravel to get to grassy areas.
- Check for Ticks: Always check for ticks after spending time outside, especially in tall grass or wooded areas. Look carefully at your hairline, behind your ears, and in other warm body areas.
- Treat Clothing: Use a tick repellent on your clothing before going into tick-prone areas. Spray your pants and shoes before hiking or camping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Treatment Methods
How does tick control work?
We spray your yard with a tick-killing treatment that sticks to grass and leaves where ticks live. When a tick touches a treated surface, it is killed on contact.
What do you use to kill ticks?
We use tick sprays that are safe for people and pets. Our products are formulated to kill ticks without harming your family when used correctly.
How long does tick treatment take?
Most yards take between 30 and 60 minutes to treat. We spray all the grass, bushes, and other areas where ticks are known to hide.
When should I get tick control?
You should start in early spring before ticks become active and continue treatments through the fall when ticks are still biting.
Treatment Results
How quickly does tick control work?
Ticks begin to die within hours of treatment. You’ll notice a significant reduction in the number of ticks in your yard within one day.
How long does tick treatment last?
Our treatments are effective for four to six weeks under normal weather conditions. Rain and watering can cause the spray to wear off faster.
Will one treatment get rid of all the ticks?
A single treatment will kill most of the ticks in your yard, but new ticks can move in from nearby woods or your neighbors’ yards.
Will you eliminate all the ticks?
We promise you’ll have significantly fewer ticks. It is impossible to stop every single one because they move from place to place.
Safety and Health
Is tick spray safe for kids and pets?
Yes, once the spray dries, it is safe. We recommend keeping everyone, including pets, inside during the spraying and waiting about an hour before going back outside.
Will tick treatment harm my grass?
No, our tick sprays will not damage your grass or plants. We use products that are specifically made for lawn use.
Can I walk on my lawn after tick treatment?
Wait until the spray has completely dried, which usually takes one to two hours, depending on the weather.
Tick Prevention
What brings ticks to my yard?
Ticks are attracted to tall grass, leaf piles, and wooded areas. Animals like deer and mice can also bring ticks into your yard.
How do I keep ticks away?
Keep your grass short, rake up leaves, and trim bushes. Also, be sure to remove any brush piles where ticks like to hide.
Do tick tubes work?
Tick tubes can help reduce the number of ticks, but they are not a substitute for professional treatment. They are most effective when used in conjunction with regular spraying.
Should I treat my pets for ticks, too?
Yes, you should use tick prevention products on your dogs and cats. Ask your vet for their recommendation on the best tick products for your pets.
