Yard tick help in Parchment

Keeping Ticks Out of Your Parchment Yard

Ticks in a Parchment yard seldom sit out in the sunny middle of the lawn. They stay in shady, damp leaf litter, tall grass and brush along the edges where the lawn meets woods or fields, and climb onto anything that walks by: children, dogs and passing deer. Small rodents carry the young ticks, which is why brush piles and wood piles make things worse. A local technician usually treats that edge zone rather than the whole lawn, and may suggest raking and trimming to dry it out. Treating the yard lowers the number of ticks but does not remove the risk, so checking yourself and your pets is still worth doing. The estimate below shows what a visit usually costs.

Before the Exterminator Arrives

  • Do a full tick check. After time outdoors, check the scalp, behind the ears, armpits, waistband, behind the knees and the groin. Shower soon after coming in and run clothes through a hot dryer.
  • Check pets before they come inside. Run your hands over the dog or cat, especially around the ears, neck and between the toes. Ask a veterinarian which tick preventive suits your pet.
  • If a tick is attached, ask a doctor or pharmacist. Note the date and where on the body it was. Call a doctor if a rash, fever, aches or unusual tiredness show up in the following days or weeks, and call 911 for trouble breathing or a severe reaction.
  • Make the yard less friendly. Mow the lawn, rake leaf litter, trim brush and low branches, and move play areas away from wood edges. Ticks dry out in hot, sunny spots and wait in shady, damp leaf litter and tall grass.

Signs You Need Tick Control

  • Ticks turn up after time in your own yard. If people or pets are finding ticks after nothing more than play or yard work, the ticks are living close to the house, usually along the edge of the lawn.
  • The yard borders woods, brush or tall grass. Wood edges, stone walls, overgrown fence lines and ground cover are where ticks wait for a host. The first few feet of lawn beside them are often the highest-risk strip.
  • Deer, mice or chipmunks visit the yard. Deer carry the adult ticks and small rodents carry the young ones. Tracks, droppings and nibbled plants mean hosts are passing through.
  • Thick leaf litter, brush piles or wood piles. Leaf litter holds the moisture ticks need to survive. Brush and wood piles shelter the mice and chipmunks that feed young ticks.
  • It is tick season where you live. In many areas, tiny nymphs are active in spring and early summer, and adults feed in fall and on mild winter days. Tick checks matter most in those periods.

Local conditions

Tick Control in Parchment: What to Know

In the Midwest, blacklegged ticks are common in the wooded parts of the upper Midwest, American dog ticks live in grass and along trails, and lone star ticks reach the southern part of the region. Ticks that carry Lyme disease are present in Michigan, so tick checks after time outdoors matter.

Calls about tick problems come from every Parchment ZIP code, day and night.

How the Job Is Done

  • Inspect the edges. The technician walks the line where lawn meets woods, brush or fence, plus the play areas, looking for leaf litter and shaded, damp ground where ticks wait.
  • Treat the tick zone. A barrier product goes onto the lawn edge and the leaf litter and ground cover along it, rather than the whole lawn. The goal is to put the product where the ticks are.
  • Repeat in season. Ticks are active in different life stages through spring, summer and fall, so season plans repeat the treatment. A one-time visit can handle a single hot spot.

When you call

What to Tell the Pest Control Company

A minute of detail on the phone means the right plan on the first visit.

  • Whether the yard backs onto woods, a field, a creek or a park, and how far the lawn runs from that edge.
  • Where ticks were found, on whom and about when, including any found on pets.
  • Whether deer, mice or other animals visit the yard, and whether there are brush piles, wood piles or stone walls.
  • Where the children and pets play, and whether the dog already takes a tick preventive from a veterinarian.

How much does yard tick control cost?

A single treatment usually runs about $90 to $285, and a season plan with repeat visits about $280 to $855. Lot size, wooded edges and the number of visits change the price. If mosquitoes are a worry too, that is a separate treatment, which usually runs about $70 to $240.

Does treating the yard stop Lyme disease?

No treatment removes all risk. Treating the yard lowers the number of ticks, but tick checks, repellent and a veterinarian's advice for pets still matter. Talk to a doctor about symptoms or concerns.

Do deer and mice make ticks worse?

They can. Deer carry adult ticks and mice and chipmunks feed the young ones, so yards beside deer paths or brush piles tend to have more. Clearing brush, wood piles and spilled bird seed gives rodents fewer places to hide and feed.
