To help control larval ticks, homeowners should treat the tick’s favorite source for a meal as close to July as possible.
By strategically placing Thermacell Tick Control Tubes in the yard, you can turn mice from tick hosts into tick killers and help protect your family from ticks and the diseases they carry.
Thermacell Tick Control Tubes contain cotton specially treated with permethrin, an EPA approved ingredient that kills ticks.
When larval ticks latch onto the mouse for a meal and feed, the tick dies.
According to tick expert Tom Mather, the hot days of July provide a prime opportunity to kill the larval ticks before they get the chance to continue the vicious cycle.
Putting out Tick Control Tubes in July kills larval ticks before they pick up diseases and emerge as dangerous nymphal ticks next spring.
Thermacell Tick Control Tubes provide an easy, no spray way to kill larval ticks without harming kids, pets, or the environment.
Apply Tick Control Tubes Twice a Year, Kill Larval Ticks in July, and Nymphal Ticks in April.
It is critical to apply Tick Control Tubes in July, even if you treated your yard in the spring, because mice breed rapidly.
Thermacell recommends placing the Tick Control Tubes no more than 10 yards apart twice a year during the spring and late summer.
