Ticks can be a real problem around homes, and ticks in the backyard or around wooded edges of your property can make spending time outdoors less enjoyable. They can even transmit Lyme disease. But are tick treatments for yards safe if you have children and pets running about the place?
Safety depends on the type of product, how it’s applied, and whether pets and children are kept away until treated areas are fully dry. Using the services of a local Ehrlich technician can minimize risk, but if you’re set on treating the yard for ticks yourself, consider the following:
