Has anyone here ever treated you yard for ticks? Looks like most the products I found just by looking at Lowe's website kill almost all bugs. That may or may not be a good thing, but if it kills the grubs and helps the mole problem all at once I would be happy.
I did some surveying in the back yard for some other projects and just the section behind the house is just shy of 0.5 acres.

From what I've been told Guinea hens are about the best thing out there for controlling ticks. .
Yes,I have heard that too.

When I had a dog, I used to use Dursban granules/flakes/whatever they were...... they worked good, so it's probably not available anymore!
Yes that happens a lot,when something works good ,they take it off the market.

We selectively sprayed the yard a few times, but as stated, most of the insecticides kill all the good bugs too, so we try not to use them. Guinea hens are the ticket, but come with Havent tried them myself.
We just got tick collars for the dogs and kids......
