Three Ways We Control Ticks on Your Property

We don’t apply the same treatment to every yard. Our technicians choose from three targeted methods and combine them based on what your property actually needs.

Tick Barrier Control: A targeted treatment applied around the perimeter and vegetation zones where ticks hide and wait for a passing host. It targets ticks where they live.
Tick Tubes: Biodegradable tubes filled with treated cotton that mice collect for nesting material. Because ticks feed on mice during their early life stages, Tick Tubes help interrupt the tick lifecycle before ticks reach your yard.
All-Natural Tick Control: A plant-based treatment option for homeowners who prefer a botanically derived approach. Same targeted coverage, different formula.

Your technician can walk the property, assess its specific conditions, and recommend the right combination of methods for your yard.

Tick Activity in Highland & the Metro East Area

Three tick species are most relevant to Highland-area homeowners. The American dog tick is the most common tick found throughout Illinois. The Lone Star tick is prevalent in southern Illinois and most active from April through late July. The blacklegged tick, also called the deer tick, is expanding its range statewide and is now found in suburban parks, fence lines, leaf piles, and landscaped yards bordering natural vegetation, not only in wooded or rural areas.

The diseases linked to these ticks are real and confirmed in Illinois: Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, and Heartland virus have all been associated with Illinois tick activity. The 2026 CAPC forecast identifies Illinois as an expanding Lyme disease risk zone. A Highland backyard sitting next to a tree line or shrub border is a meaningful exposure point, not a low-risk one.

Ticks in Illinois are generally active from March through November. They wait on low vegetation like tall grass, shrubs, and yard edges, attaching when a person or pet brushes past. Residential yards in Highland and across the Metro East area are exactly the kind of environment where that happens.

How the Tick Control Process Works

Professional Tick Control follows a clear four-step process: identify the problem, inspect the property, treat the property, and return on a scheduled cycle. Before any product is applied, a licensed technician walks the yard to identify tick habitats and activity zones specific to your property. That assessment drives the treatment plan.

Targeting ticks at multiple life stages matters because adults are only one part of the lifecycle. Tick Tubes complement perimeter Tick Barrier Control applications by addressing the larval and nymph stages that depend on small mammal hosts. A single application helps, but recurring treatments provide more durable protection because ticks can re-enter a yard from neighboring vegetation, wildlife movement, or pets throughout the season.

If ticks return between visits, we will come back, reassess, and retreat at no additional charge. Guaranteed.
