Can You Spray Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield on Grass, Lawns and Landscaping?

Can You Spray Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield on Grass, Lawns and Landscaping?

Grass, lawns and landscaping are some of the most important areas to consider when treating a yard for fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. These pests often live, hide or rest in vegetation and protected areas throughout a property.

Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield can be applied to appropriate outdoor areas according to the product label directions. Always check the label for approved surfaces and application instructions before treating your lawn or landscaping.

Can You Spray It on Grass and Lawns?

If lawn and grass applications are permitted by the product label, Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield can be used as directed to help control outdoor pest activity.

Pay particular attention to areas such as:

• Shaded grass

• Lawn edges

• Around trees

• Along fences

• Near shrubs

• Pet activity areas

• Areas bordering woods or brush

Fleas and ticks may be more concentrated in protected areas than in hot, sunny portions of an open lawn.

Can You Spray Around Landscaping?

Landscaping can provide ideal hiding and resting areas for outdoor pests.

Depending on the approved uses on the label, appropriate treatment may include areas around:

• Shrubs

• Bushes

• Trees

• Groundcover

• Landscape beds

• Fence lines

• Yard borders

• Patios and decks

Dense, shaded vegetation can be particularly important when dealing with mosquitoes.

Should You Spray the Entire Yard?

Follow the product label regarding coverage and application.

However, not every part of a yard necessarily has the same level of pest activity.

For fleas, focus on shaded areas where pets or wildlife spend time.

For ticks, pay attention to lawn edges, vegetation, leaf litter and wooded boundaries.

For mosquitoes, concentrate on appropriate shaded vegetation where adults may rest while also eliminating standing water where they can breed.

Will It Harm Grass or Plants?

Only apply Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield to grass, plants and landscaping when those uses are permitted by the label.

Follow all directions regarding application to or around vegetation. If the label recommends testing sensitive plants or avoiding particular types of vegetation, follow those instructions before treating a larger area.

What Should You Do Before Spraying?

Before application:

• Mow excessively tall grass when appropriate

• Remove excessive leaf litter

• Clear unnecessary yard debris

• Trim overgrown vegetation

• Eliminate standing water

• Check the weather forecast

Preparing the yard can help you reach the pest-prone areas that need attention.

What About Patios and Areas Around the Lawn?

Fleas, ticks and mosquitoes may also be present around the edges of outdoor living spaces.

Inspect appropriate areas around:

• Patios

• Decks

• Walkways

• Fences

• Sheds

• Outdoor seating areas

Treat these areas only when permitted by the product label.

Treat Your Lawn and Landscaping With Natural Armor

Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield is designed to help control fleas, ticks and mosquitoes in appropriate outdoor areas when used according to the product directions.

Rather than focusing only on open grass, pay particular attention to shaded lawns, landscaping, shrubs, fence lines and yard edges where pests may be more likely to live or rest.

Combine appropriate treatment with regular mowing, vegetation maintenance, leaf removal and standing-water control for a more complete outdoor pest-management routine.

Always read and follow all application instructions, approved surfaces and precautions on the Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield product label.
