A tick barrier spray treats a band of ground along the boundary of your yard, where ticks and the animals that carry them come in. In Brisbane that is usually a back fence facing bushland, a creek corridor, a park or a steep, overgrown gully. The crew we book treats that strip so fewer ticks make it across into the grass and garden you use every day.
This suits homes that keep finding ticks even after the yard has been sprayed. When bandicoots and other wildlife cross the fence every night, the boundary is where the problem starts, so it makes sense to put extra effort there. Steep blocks that drop away to a gully are common candidates. Many homes on the edge of Mount Coot-tha forest and along the creeks in the western suburbs book a barrier before spring.

A barrier works well with a few habits of your own. Keep the strip along the fence clear of long grass and leaf litter, trim overhanging shrubs and keep the area under the house tidy. The crew will point out weak spots they notice on the day. For most Brisbane homes near bush, a barrier plus a yard treatment gives a noticeable drop in ticks.
