Ticks may develop around hosts, resting sites, standing water, shaded vegetation, animal areas, or protected indoor harborages. Successful control usually addresses more than the visible adult stage.
Identify the Source
Confirm the pest and inspect likely host, breeding, and resting areas. Determine whether the infestation is indoors, outdoors, associated with animals, or being introduced from another site.
Reduce the Conditions Supporting the Pest
Remove breeding water and organic debris, manage vegetation, clean animal resting areas, vacuum where appropriate, and limit host access. Coordinate treatment of connected areas when the label permits.
Choose the Right Control Product
Compare adulticides, larvicides, insect growth regulators, residual sprays, aerosols, and monitoring tools. Select products for the target life stage and use site.
Confirm the target pest, use site, application method, and state restrictions on the current product label before use.
