Tick Management
Ford’s Hometown Services introduces our exciting newly designed tick program, offering your family and pets the best tick protection possible! We are now offering both chemical and organic certified tick services. Also, both programs are proven to repel fleas, ants, spiders, mosquitoes, and other biting insects. One in four ticks carry Lyme Disease. With the rising health issues involving ticks and Lyme Disease we are confident you’re in good hands.
Tick Suppression Programs
Our trained applicators will begin with a Blanket Spray that will kill ticks present on the property! We will focus on lawn areas, planting beds, and walls where ticks are likely to be found. Also, we will spray up to 10 feet in and 3 feet high into the surrounding borders (if applicable) to further your insect protection. Then on each scheduled return visit we will spray all borders again to kill and repel them. Also, both services are proven to repel fleas, ants, spiders, mosquitoes and other biting insects.
