Do you like spending time outside in the spring and summer? While you and your family members enjoy the great outdoors, ticks may be there too, waiting in the brush for a meal.
Why should you be concerned about ticks? Ticks are responsible for the transmission of many diseases to both humans and animals. Of all arthropods, ticks spread the widest array of disease-causing organisms. When ticks feed on human blood they are capable of transmitting diseases such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Tick Paralysis and more.

Ehrlich takes a comprehensive approach to tick control for your yard. We begin by thoroughly inspecting your property to identify tick hotspots and customize a treatment plan. Our treatment helps eliminate existing ticks and creates a barrier using effective acaricides, residual materials that kill ticks. Our technicians focus on where ticks are commonly found, including perimeter vegetation, overgrown grassy areas, and frequently traveled footpaths.
With our professional tick prevention for your yard, you can have peace of mind knowing that we address not just immediate concerns but also long-term prevention. Your technician will maintain this protection with ongoing applications to help keep tick populations down long-term.
Reclaim your yard from pesky mosquitoes and disease-carrying ticks with Ehrlich's comprehensive mosquito and tick bundle. Our technicians go beyond simple spraying, targeting the harborage points where ticks thrive and the breeding zones where mosquitoes multiply. This strategic approach provides immediate and long-lasting protection, significantly reducing populations so you can enjoy your outdoor space. By bundling mosquito and tick control services, you get complete yard protection against both pests while saving time and money.
The secret of Ehrlich’s success in the pest control industry for over 85 years is due to the expertise and skill of our technicians.

Ehrlich technicians are experts in tick biology and behavior. By clearly understanding how ticks behave, your technician can help treat properties for ticks and other pests most effectively.
The potential transmission of Lyme disease is the #1 reason why tick control and prevention are necessary for homeowners. Lyme disease is spread through the bite of the deer tick, Ixodes scapularis, which is also commonly referred to as the black-legged tick.
Symptoms of Lyme disease include fever and a bull-eye-shaped rash. If not treated, other symptoms include loss of muscle tone in the face (Bell’s palsy), shooting pains, swelling of joints, and arthritis. Approximately 10-20% of patients who contract Lyme disease experience post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, where symptoms can last for months or even years in rare instances.
Ehrlich offers flexible appointment scheduling and pest control programs designed with families in mind. To learn more about Ehrlich’s tick control for your yard, contact us online or call 800-837-5520.
Effective tick control is the best way to keep ticks out of your yard. For homeowners seeking to manage ticks on their own, DIY options like essential oil sprays and tick control tubes can provide some level of protection. Some homeowners have mixed essential oils such as geranium and peppermint with water and sprayed this homemade tick repellent on their yard. However, these methods often lack the comprehensive, long-lasting results offered by professional tick treatments.
Ticks thrive in warm, humid environments, making the late spring and summer months the most favorable for their activity. They are commonly found in areas with dense vegetation, such as tall grasses, shrubs, and forested regions, where they can easily latch onto passing hosts. Depending on the species, ticks can be active at any time during the day.
A tick bite often appears as a small, red bump, sometimes with a darker center, and may be itchy. The potential side effects from a tick bite can range from localized reactions like swelling and rash to more severe, systemic illnesses. Tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever can cause symptoms such as fever, chills, tiredness, muscle pain, and joint pain. If you believe you have been bitten by a tick, it’s best to consult your doctor and seek medical help.
