Where Should You Spray for Fleas, Ticks and Mosquitoes?

Where Should You Spray for Fleas, Ticks and Mosquitoes?

When treating your yard for fleas, ticks and mosquitoes, where you spray can be just as important as the treatment itself. These pests often concentrate in shaded, moist and protected areas rather than the sunny, open center of your lawn.

With Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield, focus on appropriate areas where pests are most likely to live, hide, travel or rest, always following the product label directions.

Where Should You Spray for Fleas?

Fleas are often found in protected areas where pets or wildlife spend time.

Pay particular attention to appropriate areas around:

• Shaded grass

• Under and around trees

• Shrubs and bushes

• Fence lines

• Decks and porches

• Pet resting and play areas

• Outdoor kennels

• Wildlife travel areas

If your pets repeatedly pick up fleas outside, start with the areas where they spend the most time.

Where Should You Spray for Ticks?

Ticks commonly favor vegetation, leaf litter and the edges between maintained lawns and more natural areas.

Focus your inspection and appropriate treatment around:

• Tall grass

• Shrubs

• Groundcover

• Fence lines

• Yard edges

• Wooded boundaries

• Shaded landscaping

• Areas where pets or wildlife travel

Keeping these areas maintained can also help reduce favorable tick habitat.

Where Should You Spray for Mosquitoes?

Adult mosquitoes often rest in cool, shaded vegetation during parts of the day.

Important areas may include:

• Shrubs and bushes

• Under trees

• Shaded landscaping

• Dense vegetation

• Fence lines

• Around patios and decks

• Other protected outdoor areas

For mosquitoes, spraying should also be combined with eliminating unnecessary standing water where mosquitoes can breed.

Should You Spray the Entire Lawn?

Follow the Natural Armor product label regarding coverage, but remember that pest activity isn't necessarily distributed evenly across your property.

Shaded lawn edges, shrubs, landscaping, pet areas and wooded boundaries may experience more flea, tick or mosquito activity than sunny, exposed grass.

Identifying these pest-prone areas can help you focus your overall yard-control efforts.

Don't Forget Yard Edges and Landscaping

Some of the most important areas are easy to overlook.

Inspect around:

• Property boundaries

• Behind shrubs

• Under decks

• Along fences

• Around sheds

• Beneath trees

• Between lawns and wooded areas

These protected locations may provide the shade, moisture and vegetation outdoor pests prefer.

What Areas Should You Avoid?

Apply Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield only to surfaces and locations specifically permitted by the product label.

Follow all directions regarding application around people, pets, plants, water sources and other sensitive areas.

Never apply a yard treatment directly to pets unless the product label specifically permits that use.

Target Outdoor Pests With Natural Armor

Natural Armor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Shield is designed to help control fleas, ticks and mosquitoes in appropriate outdoor areas.

For the best approach, don't simply spray the most visible part of the lawn. Focus on the shaded, protected and pest-prone areas where fleas, ticks and mosquitoes are most likely to spend time, while also maintaining the yard and eliminating standing water.

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