Tick Box Control System
Letting our forest friends safely control ticks for us!
The Tick Box Control System is a small, metal box strategically placed in and around your yard that has a bait inside that’s attractive to rodents like mice and chipmunks. Both of these rodents are known carriers of ticks. As the rodent moves through the box to get to the bait, it will pass under a small applicator wick containing a low-dose insecticide. The wick lightly brushes the head or shoulders of the rodent, gently applying traces of the insecticide. The insecticide won’t harm the rodent or any other animal that might touch or even eat them, but it will kill the ticks the rodents are carrying. A single dose will protect the rodents for up to 40 days against any new ticks, as well. Less ticks means less tick bites. And that means less Lyme disease!
5 Reasons to Use the Tick Box Control System
- Effective: The Tick Box Tick Control System has been proven effective in significantly reducing the number of ticks in the area. In field trials, the Tick Box Tick Control System reduced tick populations by as much as 88% after just one year!
- Easy: The system boxes are self-contained and discreet. It’s effective for about three months so you could have a tick-free lawn all tick season long!
- Targeted: A single mouse can carry as many as 100 ticks. By targeting mice – and chipmunks – more ticks will be targeted and therefore eradicated.
- Safe: Doesn’t hurt or deter the rodents or anything that may eat them (including your pets!). It just treats them for the ticks they’re carrying around with them and they bring it back to their home to take care of those ticks, too.
- Convenient: It’s an easy-to-use, low-maintenance, highly effective means of ridding your yard of ticks and reducing your family and your furry friends’ chances of contracting Lyme Disease.
