It’s Your Yard—Protect It from Ticks

Serving Massachusetts, Cape Cod, New Hampshire & Southern Maine

Ticks are more than just a nuisance—they are dangerous parasites that can carry serious, sometimes life-threatening diseases. A1 Exterminators’ Tick Control Program is designed to reduce tick populations in your yard and protect your family, pets, and guests from the dangers of tick-borne illnesses.

Our monthly tick treatments run from April through October, targeting the peak activity season for ticks. By applying treatments to the areas where ticks thrive—such as wooded edges, tall grass, leaf litter, and shady landscaping—we significantly reduce your risk of bites and the diseases they can transmit.

How Our Tick Control Program Works

Our treatments use a proven, multi-action approach for maximum effectiveness:

  • Knockdown agents to quickly eliminate active ticks
  • Long-lasting insecticides for continuous protection
  • Synergists to boost treatment potency
  • Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) to stop ticks from maturing into adults

This controlled-release technology keeps your property protected day and night throughout the season.

Understanding the Tick Life Cycle

Ticks are arachnids—related to spiders and mites—with four life stages:

  1. Egg – A single female can lay 3,000–6,000 eggs.
  2. Larva (“seed tick”) – Waits in clusters for a host, feeds, then drops off.
  3. Nymph – Seeks a new host, feeds, and molts into an adult.
  4. Adult – Finds a host, mates, and continues the cycle.

Depending on the species and conditions, ticks can complete this cycle in as little as two months or as long as two years.
