Ticks Be Gone Vt

Protect your yard from ticks and mosquitos

What to expect

I will arrive with my lawn mower and sprayer. I purchase the cedar oil in concentrated form (like many things concentrated form saves space and weight) which I will add water to match the size of your yard. I mix 2 fluid ounces of cedarwood oil (Natures Defender) with to each gallon of water. I will need to use your hose.

Depending on the size of the yard I will spray your lawn with my lawn tractor mounted sprayer. I have a handheld sprayer and a backpack sprayer which I will use one or both to spray around your trees and bushes. You should inform me of any sensitive plants or areas you do not want me to spray.

While you can walk on the lawn right after I am done it may make your feet sticky until it dries which may take about an hour. You will notice I wear my rubber boots when I walk around with the backback sprayer as the rubber boots are easy to clean and ticks have trouble climbing up them. I don't spray when the temperatures are above 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

The general plan would be to spray your lawn monthly with Nature's Defender to kill and repel ticks, mosquitos, ants, fleas and mites. If you have a bad infestation it is recommended to spray two weeks after the first application then monthly afterwards.
