Flea and Tick Control

We understand that as much as you want to keep your pets and family safe from fleas and ticks, you also want to know any products you’re having applied to your lawn are also safe for your family.

The yard flea and tick control product that we use is a food-safe product, meaning that it would be safe to apply to foods in the agricultural world. We are also committed to using products that are rigorously tested by the EPA. These are the same products that we are applying to our own lawns at home and we care about our family’s safety just like you.

To be even more diligent, we do ask homeowners to keep their pets off of their lawn for about an hour following an application, just to be sure that the product is dry.

Homeowners also often ask us if our yard flea and tick control product will address other yard insects as well. It definitely can help to control the populations of other pests that might be lurking in your yard like spiders, sugar ants, and crickets. 

These are other pests that you likely don’t want getting in the way of your backyard fun like picnics with the kids. And you certainly don’t want these pests making their way inside, either. By stopping some of these pests in your yard, you’ll prevent them from finding their way indoors. It’s an added benefit that our product works on many of these other insects, too.

Homeowners also want to know if they need to water our yard flea and tick control product after we leave. To get the most possible effectiveness out of the product we do recommend that you water it in, just to help it reach the soil level where it can start to attack fleas and ticks where they’re hiding. This does not need to be a marathon watering session. Approximately 5 to 10 minutes of watering should do the trick.

Because flea and tick control products are commonly sold in big box stores, homeowners sometimes ask us why they can’t just treat them on their own.

The key thing to remember is that store-bought flea and tick control products are not the same products that your professional flea and tick control technician will be using. These are subpar products that are not going to be nearly as effective as professional-grade products.

In addition to higher quality products, you are also investing in the training and knowledge that comes with hiring a professional. This includes understanding where to treat as well as how and when to apply products. 

Fleas and ticks can be a serious threat to your family and it’s simply not worth the risk of taking a DIY approach.

If you’re going to go the professional route, which we advise, then you want to make sure that you’re choosing the best flea and tick control in Memphis, TN, or Olive Branch, MS. Of course, we know that this is no simple feat when there are so many companies to choose from.

Here are a couple of important points of consideration as you perform your search.

Whereas some of the companies that offer flea and tick control in Memphis, TN, and Olive Branch, MS are national franchises, Master Lawn is an independently owned and operated local business only servicing homes in Memphis, TN, and Northern Mississippi area. This is important in truly knowing the region we’re working in.

In addition, many pest-focused companies only offer services like flea and tick control (and often mosquito control is offered by these companies, too). But Master Lawn offers additional outdoor services like lawn care and plant health care and if you need work completed that is outside of the scope of these services, we also have a sister company, Michael Hatcher & Associates. This allows us to be a comprehensive outdoor solution for your property.
