Yes, Tick Killz is very easy to mix and spray. If a homeowner does not have a piece of spray equipment available, we offer an 8oz Hose End Spray unit that any do-it-yourselfer can easily attach to a hose for quick and effective spraying. Larger sizes can be used to refill the smaller Hose End Spray unit for repeated applications.
Yes, Tick Killz is made from natural ingredients and is considered 25b exempt by the EPA, which simply means it is not a registered chemical with restricted use and there are no potentially harmful side effects. Tick Killz is safe for use around children, pets and the environment.
When you apply Tick Killz to your landscape you need to ensure the material has a chance to dry completely (about one hour) before the next rain event. Once it dries, future rainfall will contribute to the process of washing the material away.
Although Tick Killz is not harmful, you want to allow the material to fully dry before re-entry so it stays where you applied it and you can get the maximum benefit from the residual repellent benefit.
There is no best way to apply Tick Killz. You can use any piece of spray equipment from a backpack sprayer up to a tank sprayer, whatever you have available. Applying the right amount of material so it can be effective is more important than what piece of equipment you use to apply.
You can apply Tick Killz as often as you like but typically, the product should be applied every 3-5 weeks depending on level of infestation, uniqueness of a given property, etc. Most people will see excellent tick control with treatments every 4-6 weeks and every 3 weeks for mosquito control.
Tick Killz will last on average 30 days after each application, which depends largely on the amount of rainfall that occurs after the application. The more rain, the faster the material will wash away, eventually requiring re-application.
