Assessment-Based Tick Treatment for Longmont Yards

Ticks don’t treat every yard the same way, and neither do we. Mosquito Authority of Northern, CO sends a licensed technician to assess your property, identify where ticks are hiding and waiting, and build a treatment plan around your yard’s actual conditions. No generic spray-and-go. No long-term service commitments required.

We serve clients throughout Longmont and Northern Colorado, and if ticks return between scheduled visits, we’ll come back, reassess, and retreat your property at no additional charge. That’s our service guarantee.

Three Treatment Methods, One Tailored Plan

The right approach depends on your property: its size, landscaping, proximity to open space, and how ticks are moving onto it. Our technician can walk the yard with you and recommend the combination that fits.

Tick Barrier Control
A targeted treatment applied around the perimeter and vegetation zones where ticks rest and wait for a passing host. This is the core of most treatment plans and addresses the areas of highest tick activity on your property.

Tick Tubes
Biodegradable tubes filled with treated cotton. Mice carry the cotton back to their nests and use it as bedding, which interrupts the tick lifecycle at an early stage. Because ticks feed on mice, this method helps reduce the next generation before it reaches your lawn.

All-Natural Tick Control
A plant-based treatment option for homeowners who prefer a botanically derived approach. Your technician can walk you through whether this fits your property’s conditions and your household’s needs.

Longmont’s Greenways & the Tick Pressure They Create

Longmont spans both Boulder and Weld counties, and the St. Vrain Greenway runs approximately 8 miles through the city along St. Vrain Creek, linking open-space areas including Golden Ponds, Roger’s Grove, Izaak Walton, and Sandstone Ranch. These corridors are exactly the kind of habitat ticks thrive in: brushy edges, tall grass, and leaf cover where they wait on vegetation for a host to pass by.

Yards that back up to greenbelt, trail edge, or creek-side vegetation face higher exposure. In Colorado, tick activity peaks from late April through mid-July, and the Rocky Mountain wood tick is the species people encounter most often in the region. A treatment plan that accounts for your yard’s proximity to these corridors is more tailored to these conditions than a generic one.

Tick-Borne Diseases in Colorado: What’s Actually Here

Colorado is home to roughly 27 to 30 known tick species. The Rocky Mountain wood tick is the one most commonly encountered by people spending time outdoors in the state. Knowing which diseases are documented here puts tick risk in the right context.

Colorado tick fever: The most common tick-transmitted disease in the region, spread by the Rocky Mountain wood tick.
Tick-borne relapsing fever: Spread by a soft tick associated with nesting rodents, not the wood tick. Cases occur in Colorado each year, generally in small numbers.
Tularemia: A bacterial disease transmitted by ticks and other routes. Boulder, Larimer, and Weld counties are among the highest-reporting counties for human cases in Colorado, which puts Longmont-area residents in a relevant geography.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever: Despite its name, this disease is rare in Colorado.

Lyme disease is not established in Colorado’s tick population. The tick species that transmits it doesn’t occur in the state, and documented cases have been traced to exposure elsewhere. If you’ve traveled recently and then find a tick, mention your travel history when you speak with a healthcare provider.

Yard Conditions That Attract Ticks

Professional treatment works best alongside basic yard habits that reduce tick habitat. Ticks favor brushy areas, field and woodland edges, and paths through tall grass and shrublands. A few consistent practices make your yard less hospitable between visits.

Reduce Hiding Spots
Trim brush and bushes, rake leaves regularly, and clear yard debris where ticks shelter in cool, damp conditions.

Create a Physical Barrier
A border of mulch or gravel between your lawn and any adjacent wooded or brushy area can slow tick movement onto your property, particularly near open-space edges.

Check People & Pets
After time outside, check for ticks in the spots they favor: armpits, behind the knees, the groin, the scalp, and on pets around the ears and neck. Finding a tick early can reduce the window for transmission.
