Here are our top tips for keeping ticks out of your life:
Know Where Ticks Live
Ticks gather in certain habitats. When gardening, playing, or relaxing outdoors, there are certain areas to avoid to reduce your chances of encountering ticks. If these areas exist on your lawn, eliminate them or hire Mosquito Shield to spray all the appropriate areas. Ticks live in moist, humid environments. They particularly like wooded and grassy regions. Shrubs, leaf litter, and thick underbrush commonly harbor tick colonies.
When you trust us with tick spraying services in Mountain Brook, we’ll complete a thorough inspection of your home and identify areas that may be attracting ticks. We’ll spray these areas to kill ticks on contact and keep them away in the future.
Wear the Proper Attire
Ticks wait in tall grass to attach to a passing host. Ticks cannot jump or fly, but they will stalk hosts and emerge at the right time to latch on. Ticks insert themselves in a host using a mandible and feeding tube that enters the host’s skin. Visit our tick FAQ page for more facts. If you cover your skin, ticks will have a harder time finding a place to attach. Wear long sleeves and pants tucked into boots or other closed-toed shoes.
This won’t completely erase your chances of getting ticks – they can cling to your clothing and find their way inside – but it can help. Tick spraying services in Mountain Brook can eliminate the need to wear specific clothing to avoid ticks.
Check Skin for Ticks Before Going Inside
Once you’ve finished up outdoors, check your skin thoroughly before going inside. This can prevent ticks from entering your home. Ticks like warm, dark places to attach to hosts. Check your armpits, behind your ears, and your upper thighs. You likely won’t feel a tick attach and may not realize you have one on you until you look. If you do have a tick, remove it with a tick puller or sterilized tweezers. Pull as close to the skin as possible and straight out. Do not twist. Avoid breaking the tick’s head off inside the skin because this can cause an infection.

About Us
Mosquito Shield was founded in September 2001. We’ve all been there, trying to enjoy our homes’ outdoors, only to have our limited time outside ruined by unwanted mosquitos and insects. It was clear that the mosquito control products available at the time—body sprays, candles, mosquito magnets—weren’t up to the task. Frustrated with these options, we set out to formulate a true solution. The following 15 years were spent researching the science behind the mosquito life cycle, testing products, application methods and treatment frequency. We developed our own proprietary blend, Mosquito and Tick Proprietary Blend (MTPB), that lasts for weeks and gets stronger as mosquito season progressed. Our MTPB is made with natural oils that rid you of current mosquitos and repel future unwanted guests. Combining MTPB with our FlexBlend application technology has put us at the forefront of residential mosquito control.
