Tick Control
-
The most effective way to reduce ticks is by applying insecticide mainly to the perimeter of your lawn, according to the University of Rhode Island. Insecticide should also be applied to shady perennial beds or along paths or trails in the woods. Application to open lawns is usually not necessary.
Types
-
Pesticides to control lawn ticks come in liquid and granular form. The type of tick killer you need depends on the type of vegetation you have and the stage of the ticks. Liquid pesticides are best for ticks that are crawling out in the open. Granular pesticides help kill ticks that are hatching.

Considerations
-
Remove high grass, weeds, undergrowth, and leaf litter to help control ticks. Lawns should be mowed to a height of 3 inches or less. Consider pesticides or a pest control expert if you have a large number of ticks.
