Fleas and ticks are problematic pests that are often found in lawns here in Indiana. These pests can bite both humans and pets and they can possibly even transfer diseases to them. If you own a property in this state, you're likely wondering how often you should be treating your lawn for fleas and ticks. Well, the flea and tick season here in Indiana generally runs from April until August, so these are the months when you should be treating your property. However, these types of treatments usually only stay effective for about 30 days, so you'll want to reapply treatments once per month during this time period to provide comprehensive protection. To make your life easier, you should just enroll in a professional flea and tick control program. When you do, professionals will treat your property regularly using products that are proven to work, so the only thing you'll need to do is enjoy your flea-and-tick-free lawn!

When is flea and tick season in Indiana?

Fleas and ticks are problematic pests that can latch onto hosts and bite them, which can irritate the skin and if they have a disease, they could possibly transfer it to the host. Here in Indiana, flea and tick season generally runs from April through August. So, when using your lawn during these months, you'll want to stay vigilant and check to ensure they haven't latched onto you once you get back inside. You should also check your pets after they have been outside because fleas and ticks love latching onto animals.

How often should you be applying flea and tick control treatments to your lawn?

One of the best ways to keep fleas and ticks off of your property is to apply flea and tick control treatments to your lawn. These types of treatments are designed to eliminate these pests, so you can enjoy a pest-free lawn. However, because these types of treatments only stay effective for about 30 days or so, one treatment won't be enough to get you through the season. Because the flea and tick season here in Indiana runs from April to August, and each treatment will last about 30 days, you should apply 5 treatments to your lawn, once per month, to effectively manage the flea and tick population on your property.

Make your life easier by signing up for a professional flea and tick control program!

While it's possible to apply flea and tick control treatments yourself, it's not the best idea. That's because it's not only a lot of work and you need to keep remembering to reapply the treatments, but you also need to make sure you're using an effective product and ensuring you apply it correctly without missing any spots. Instead of taking on this task yourself, you can make your life easier by signing up for a professional flea and tick control program. When you do, professionals will come out to your property to effectively apply their treatments to your lawn, and they will come back regularly to apply a new treatment before the previous one wears off. What's more, they will use products that are proven to eliminate fleas and ticks, so you can rest easy knowing that your property will be thoroughly protected from these pests.
