Kick Ticks Out of Your Backyard
Ticks have one job: hide, wait, and hitch a ride. If your yard has shade, moisture, and thick foliage, it can start feeling like ticks own the place—making you think twice about using your own outdoor space. Tick control isn’t about a one-time fix or an endless cycle of DIY; it’s about long-term reduction through consistent protection. That’s exactly what The Turf Doctor delivers
Our Mosquito & Tick Control Program is built for Maine conditions and designed to keep tick pressure down all season with repeat treatments that target where ticks actually live and travel:
- Property perimeters
- Brushy edges
- Rock walls
- Landscaping beds
- Harborage zones
Our program is built to help you reclaim your outdoor space with consistent, property-specific treatments designed to reduce tick activity and keep it down through the season—so you can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying the backyard.

Backyard Fixes That Help Make Ticks Look Elsewhere
Why ticks keep showing up
Ticks don’t usually hang out in the middle of a sunny lawn, they prefer cool, humid “edge zones” like woods lines, trail borders, stone walls, and grassy or brushy areas where leaf litter and debris stay damp. That border strip between lawn and wood is often the hotspot, which is why small changes there can make a noticeable difference.
Quick yard moves that help
These simple fixes reduce the places ticks like to hide and wait:
- Mow regularly and keep edges trimmed (especially along wood and stone walls).
- Remove leaf litter and brush piles—shady debris is a tick comfort zone.
- Create a buffer between lawn and woods (a gravel or wood-chip strip can help reduce tick migration into the lawn).
- Move wood piles away from high-traffic areas and keeps gathering spaces less cluttered.
DIY steps can reduce ticks but they’re not a set and forget solution. Call The Turf Doctor at (207) 622-6600 for reliable and lasting tick control this season.
Tick Control You Can Count On
DIY cleanup and regular mowing can reduce tick pressure, but if ticks are established, they rebound fast. The most reliable way to make your yard feel like yours again is a season-long program that targets the right areas at the right times, with consistent follow-through.
Here’s what sets our tick program apart:
- Free, thorough property inspection by trained licensed professionals
- Targeted applications in high-risk zones like wood lines, landscape edges, shrubs, stone walls, under decks, and perimeter areas
- Consistent scheduling designed to prevent rebound during peak tick weeks
- A plan tailored to your property, not a one-size-fits-all spray
- EPA-approved products, with optional organic treatments available
We proudly serve Kennebec, Cumberland, York, Androscoggin, Knox, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, and Waldo Counties, so reliable tick control is never far away.
