Frequently asked questions

Which ticks live in Will County?

Will County has several ticks, including the blacklegged (deer) tick associated with Lyme disease and the American dog tick. Yard-edge treatment targets the habitat all of them share.

When are ticks most active in Illinois?

Ticks are active from spring through fall, with blacklegged tick nymphs peaking in late spring and summer. Mild winters can extend activity, so edge control through the warm season matters.

Can a yard treatment reduce Lyme risk?

Treating the yard edge and keeping a mowed, mulched buffer against the woods reduces tick numbers where people spend time, lowering exposure — alongside personal precautions like repellent and tick checks.
