A tick perimeter barrier is a treatment along the outer edge of your yard, where ticks and the wildlife that carry them come in. In Redlands that is often a back fence facing bushland, a creek line, a drainage reserve or a stretch of acreage next door. The crew we book treats a band of ground along that edge so fewer ticks make it across into the grass you use every day.
Barrier work suits blocks that keep getting new ticks even after the yard has been sprayed. If wildlife moves through each night, the edge is where the problem starts, so it makes sense to put the most effort there. On larger blocks the crew may treat the house yard and a barrier strip, and leave the far paddocks alone.

A barrier works well alongside a few simple habits. Keep a clear, mown strip between the bush and the yard, rake leaf litter away from the fence and trim shrubs so sunlight gets in. The crew will point out any weak spots they see on the day. Many homes in Redlands that back onto koala habitat or reserve land book a barrier treatment before spring each year.
