Frequently Asked Questions
Are ticks a real problem in Indianapolis yards?
Yes — and increasingly so. Indiana has documented populations of the American dog tick, lone star tick, and the deer tick (which carries Lyme disease). The deer tick has expanded across central Indiana significantly over the past decade. Yards with tall grass, leaf litter, or wooded edges are highest risk.
When is tick season in central Indiana?
Ticks are active from March through November, peaking in May, June, and July when nymphs (the smallest, hardest-to-spot stage) are feeding. Adult activity also surges again in October.
How does professional tick control work?
We treat the yard zones where ticks live — wood lines, leaf litter, mulch beds, fence rows, and tall grass margins. The application kills ticks on contact and continues working for 30 to 45 days. Most properties need treatment every 6 to 8 weeks during tick season.
Will tick treatment also protect my pets?
Yard treatment significantly reduces the tick population pets are exposed to but should be paired with year-round vet-prescribed tick prevention on the pet itself. The two together is the strongest protection.
How much does tick control cost?
Indianapolis-area tick treatments typically run $90 to $140 per application. Most properties do 4 to 5 applications per season. Bundling tick control with mosquito service is the most popular and cost-effective option.
What can I do besides treatment to reduce ticks?
Keep grass mowed short, clear leaf litter from yard edges, maintain a 3-foot mulch or gravel barrier between lawn and woods, and remove brush piles. Ticks need humidity, so anything that increases sun and airflow helps. We will point out high-risk zones during service.
