Flea & Tick Control — Woodlawn Lawn Care

The yard is the source

Fleas and ticks spend most of their lives nowhere near your pet — in shaded soil, leaf litter, and the tall grass along fences and tree lines, waiting for something warm to walk by. West Tennessee's long humid summers are about as good as it gets for both of them. Treat the animal without treating the yard and you're bailing a boat without plugging the hole.

We treat where they actually live

Open bermuda baking in July sun mostly takes care of itself — heat and dry air are hard on fleas. The reservoir is the edges: under shrubs, along fence lines, the shaded strip by the woods, around decks and outbuildings. That's where we put the treatment, plus the lawn itself when pressure calls for it. Targeted beats fogging the whole property, every time.

Timed to the season, not the calendar

Around here ticks wake up earlier and stay out later than most people expect — any warm stretch from March on — and fleas build all summer into fall. We run treatments across the warm season so the population never gets its feet under it.

Pets and family come first

Product labels direct you to stay off treated areas until they are dry — usually a couple of hours — and we tell you exactly what applies at every visit. And keep doing whatever your vet recommends on the animal itself: the yard treatment and the vet's preventative do different jobs, and they work best together.

Signs your lawn is asking for this

How a visit actually goes

  1. 1

    Walk the yard

    Every yard holds fleas and ticks differently. We map the harborage on your property — shaded edges, leaf litter, fence lines, under decks and shrubs — before anything gets applied.

  2. 2

    Treat the harborage

    A targeted application on the zones that actually hold them, plus the open lawn when the pressure calls for it. The goal is breaking the life cycle where it lives, not misting the whole county.

  3. 3

    Keep it broken

    Eggs already in the soil keep hatching for weeks after a knockdown. We re-treat on a schedule across the warm season so the population can't rebuild between visits.

Questions we actually get

Is it safe for my pets and kids?

Once the application is dry — usually a couple of hours — the label clears the yard for normal use again. We'll tell you exactly how long to stay off at every visit, and we treat the edges and harborage zones more than the open play areas anyway.

My pet is already on a flea preventative. Do I still need the yard treated?

The vet's preventative protects the animal; it does nothing about the population living in your yard. Every trip outside is a fresh pickup. The two work together — the yard treatment cuts off the supply, the preventative catches what's left.

When should treatments start?

Earlier than you'd think. Ticks are active in any warm stretch from late winter on, and flea populations start building as soon as the soil warms. Starting in spring and running through fall keeps the cycle broken instead of chasing an infestation in August.

Do you treat inside the house?

No — we're a lawn company, and we stay in our lane. We treat the yard side of the problem. If fleas are already established indoors, pair the yard treatment with an indoor pest service and the two ends meet in the middle.

Will one treatment fix it?

One treatment knocks the adults down. It doesn't touch the eggs already in the soil, which keep hatching for weeks — that's why the yards that stay clean are the ones on a season-long schedule, not a one-and-done.

What it costs

Straight talk about price

Nobody likes chasing a number. Here is exactly how ours is built — and why we will not print a flat one.

This one is quoted on its own, not off the per-application program price — the job is sized to your yard and what it actually needs. Estimates are always free.

The number comes from your yard

We measure the treatable square footage on the estimate walk. That measurement is the price — not your zip code, not the size of your house, not what your neighbor pays.

No contract, no cancellation fee

The annual program is a schedule, not a lock-in. If you want to stop, tell us and we stop.

Part of the bigger picture

Flea & Tick Control is scheduled alongside the 8-application annual program, in the window where it does the most good — every treatment lands at the right point in the West TN season. See the month-by-month calendar for what happens when.

Other treatments

Weed Control

Weeds around here arrive in waves — winter annuals while your bermuda sleeps, crabgrass when the soil warms, nutsedge in the heat. We stop the next wave before it sprouts and treat the one that's already up, all year long.

Fertilization

The deep green lawns on your street aren't lucky — they're fed on the grass's schedule. We time every feeding to bermuda's growth cycle, from spring green-up through fall winterization, so the nutrients go to your lawn instead of your weeds.

Learn more

Core Aeration

Tipton County soil packs down until water runs off and roots can't breathe. Core aeration pulls thousands of finger-sized plugs, 2 to 3 inches deep, opening the soil back up so your bermuda can finally put down real roots.

Grass Seeding

Thin spots don't fill themselves. We overseed with the right grass for each part of your yard — bermuda where the sun hits, fescue where it doesn't — and each one goes down in its own window, because they are not the same window.

Mole Control

Moles aren't after your grass — they're after what's living under it. So we work both ends: traps for the mole that's in your yard right now, and a grub treatment for the food supply that made it worth digging in the first place.

Flower Bed Weed Control

Beds are the hardest place to fight weeds — you can't blanket-treat around plants you love. We work carefully and specifically, taking out what's hiding in the mulch and sparing everything you planted on purpose.
