Yard tick spraying is the hands-on part of most tick jobs in Redlands. The crew we book uses a spray rig or backpack sprayer to treat the parts of the yard where ticks wait, such as long grass, the base of hedges, leaf litter under trees and the edges of garden beds. The aim is to cover the ground ticks use, not to soak every square metre of the block. Front yards and verges can be added if ticks are turning up there too.
Before the spray goes down, the crew will usually look at how the yard is used. Where do the kids play, where does the dog sleep, which paths do you walk to the clothesline or the shed? Those areas get the most attention, along with the fence line closest to bushland or a neighbour's untidy block. Pets and children are kept inside while the spray is going down.
- Spraying of grass edges, shrubs and ground cover
- Treatment under decks, stairs and raised garden beds where reachable
- Coverage of paths, play areas and pet runs
- Clear guidance on how long to stay off treated areas
- A short list of yard jobs that help between visits
You can help the spray do its job by mowing a day or two before the visit and moving toys, bowls and outdoor cushions out of the way. Ask the crew when it is fine to water the garden or mow again. Most families in Redlands find the yard feels much more usable once the tick hot spots have been treated.
